Overview
- Cast Members have begun limited soft-opening test runs that let small, escorted groups enter the Jumping Junction walking paths inside Bluey’s Wild World.
- Disney officials and staff say the tests are capped at roughly 60 guests per day and are designed to observe how the kangaroos and wallabies adjust to the new habitat.
- The Jumping Junction area replaces the former Affection Section petting zoo and is explicitly non-petting, with guests required to stay on designated paths and view animals from a distance.
- Operational controls at the site now include a standby queue for Bluey’s Wild World after an initial virtual-queue rollout, app wait boards for real-time lines, Wildlife Express Train access, stroller limits on the train, and shortened area hours that affect family planning.
- Disney has not announced a public opening date and says it will continue phased, welfare-focused testing before allowing unrestricted walkthroughs, with the company prepared to reintroduce virtual boarding if guest demand increases.
