Overview
- Disney confirmed on Monday that Jumping Junction is operating in a limited, keeper‑led capacity with small groups escorted along the habitat path as staff monitor animal responses.
- Company officials say the long‑term plan is to let all guests walk through the habitat but they have not set a public timeline and will expand access only as the animals become comfortable.
- Current walkthroughs are brief and controlled, lasting roughly five to ten minutes with group sizes capped to keep entry under about 100 guests per hour and each group led by an animal care cast member.
- Operational rules during this acclimation phase bar touching the animals and currently restrict wheelchairs, strollers, and scooters, with Disney saying accessibility and unguided access will be restored once keepers confirm it is safe.
- Jumping Junction replaces the former Affection Section at Conservation Station and houses Western Grey and Red kangaroos plus Red‑necked wallabies, several of which are carrying joeys, tying the habitat into the new Bluey’s Wild World area and shifting guest flow in that park corner.
