A Word of Warning About Bluey's Wild World at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Bluey’s Wild World has been quite the hit in Disney’s Animal Kingdom since its opening in late May, but Disney is certainly still working out some slight issues.

Wildlife Express

They started by using a Virtual Queue for the attraction, then did away with it at the beginning of June, which helps planning in some ways, but makes things a bit more difficult in other ways. Recently, when we were heading to the attraction, we noticed a few things that could affect the accessibility of the experience, which we feel you need to know about.

If you’re traveling to the parks and will be using an accessible vehicle, such as a wheelchair or ECV, it’s important you know that there is only one space for those on wheels in each train car on the Wildlife Express. This means that, per train, there are only about six spaces for people on wheels to safely ride. In our experience, we noticed the accessible line for the train was quite long for this very reason, and it included families who were traveling with strollers that weren’t able to fold up.

While there’s not much that can be done for those using ECVs and wheelchairs, especially if they aren’t able to transfer, for families who are traveling with strollers, we recommend either using stroller parking to put your stroller off to the side before getting in the regular line, or coming to the park with a stroller that can indeed fold up. Not only may that make your wait a little shorter, but you’ll also help out those in the accessible line who aren’t able to move to the regular queue.

Strollers in Animal Kingdom

However, we do also want to let you know that while there are usually loaner strollers available at Bluey’s Wild World for you to use while you wander around the area, on a recent trip, we also noticed that the loaner strollers at the station were gone when we arrived AND when we were leaving. This means that if there are families banking on those strollers being available, and that’s why they don’t bring their stroller over, they may find themselves in a sticky situation. Again, this is tricky, and there’s no way “around” it per se, but if you know your child will need a stroller the whole day, we recommend bringing a stroller into the park that can fold up, so you can stay in the regular queue, and also not have to stress about getting one of the loaner strollers after getting off the train.

If you arrive in the park and you’re confused about accessibility or need additional guidance, we encourage you to chat with nearby Cast Members, especially those at Guest Relations. They’ll be more than happy to answer your questions and help find the best solution possible for you. Always remain kind and respectful, even if things are a little frustrating.
