There is a lot to cover, so let’s dive in.

What’s New: Bluey’s Best Day Ever!

Great news for families and guests of all ages: Bluey is coming to Disneyland!

“Bluey’s Best Day Ever!” will debut on March 22, 2026, inside the Fantasyland Theatre at Disneyland Park. The theatre will transform into Bluey’s school grounds, where she and her sister, Bingo, will take the stage to sing and play games.

There will be games like Keepy Uppy and interactive adventures inside a life-sized Gnome Village and Fairy Garden. There will even be themed foods at the Troubadour Tavern, inspired by the animated Disney+ series.
