Today is a HUGE day in Disney World, and we’re out here covering it all! Yes, all four parks!

Hey, Bluey!

Cool KIDS’ SUMMER kicks off today, and numerous attractions officially open, including (but certainly not limited to) Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Soarin’ Across America in EPCOT, Jessie’s Roundup in Magic Kingdom, and, of course, Bluey’s Wild World in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. That last one is the attraction Disney has been expecting the most hype around, as they brought back the Virtual Queue system to manage crowds. However, there’s something VERY important you need to know about your return time for this attraction, because it’s more detailed than it seems.

The Bluey’s Wild World Virtual Queue opens at both 7 AM for guests who have a park pass reservation for that day, or a date-based ticket, and again at 10 AM for anyone who is inside the park at that time. This morning, we saw it fill up in seconds at 7 AM, and the same thing happened again at 10 AM, so yes, this is a VERY popular experience.

Cool KIDS’ SUMMER has begun!

When your group gets called, you’ll head to the Wildlife Express, which is the train that takes you over to Conservation Station, where Bluey’s Wild World is. Here’s the catch — you can’t board the train BEFORE your Virtual Queue is called, but Cast Members will only ask to see your VQ, they WON’T officially scan it (that comes later). Just like with other Virtual Queues, you have an hour to redeem it, but in our experience, getting from the Wildlife Express to the entrance of the show, where your VQ is officially scanned, can sometimes take up to an hour.

Let’s go!

What does that mean? We suggest that the moment you see that your group is called, you head to the Wildlife Express to get in line. While you may not have to wait long for the train itself, it’s when you get to Conservation Station that the bulk of your waiting may take place, and begin to stress you out.

The entrance to the Wildlife Express

We’ve seen the line outside (and inside, since it’s partially indoors) last through THREE rotations of the show, which is 14 minutes EACH. Yes, that means people were waiting in line for the show for upwards of 45 minutes, but that was before their Virtual Queue was scanned at the front of the line! If your return time is only an hour, plus the grace period window? Yeah, that timeline can get concerning real fast.

This line can take a while

Now, we’re expecting to see this change a bit as the Virtual Queue continues to work and Disney sees what adjustments need to be made, and it’s also possible we’ll see Cast Members be lenient with the return time, but that’s NOT something you want to rely on! For now, plan to be there as early as you can to be on the safe side.

Plan ahead!
