Rafiki’s Planet Watch Closes for Bluey Makeover, Set to Reopen This Summer as Conservation Station

Most offerings are slated to return with a Bluey interactive experience during Cool KIDS’ SUMMER.

Overview

  • As of February 23, the Wildlife Express Train, Conservation Station, and Affection Section are temporarily closed, while the Animation Experience has ended permanently.
  • The entrance area is roped off with the sign covered, and the shutdown makes the entire location inaccessible because the train is the only guest access.
  • When the area reopens this summer, it will carry the Conservation Station name, with the petting zone adding animals native to Australia.
  • The Bluey offering is planned to include meet-and-greets plus dances and games with Bluey and Bingo.
  • Disney has not released a reopening date, though cast members have told guests to expect roughly a three‑month closure that would align with a late‑May Cool KIDS’ SUMMER launch; the recent permanent closure of DinoLand U.S.A. further concentrates crowds elsewhere in the park.
