Bluey’s 'Best Day Ever!' launches at Disneyland Resort, California
Working hand-in-hand with Disney and Ludo Studio, we have crafted an experience that captures the heart and humour of Bluey. This launch is a true testament to the generation-defining hit that Bluey has become."
Beloved characters Bluey and Bingo are arriving at a Disney park for the first time - as ‘Bluey’s Best Day Ever!’ launches at Disneyland Resort in California on Sunday 22 March.
A collaborative, creative project across Disney Live Entertainment, Ludo Studio and BBC Studios, this brand new experience brings the heart, humour and imagination of the award-winning animated series to life in a first-of-its-kind fun-filled celebration of Bluey episodes for families and guests of all ages.
Disneyland Resort's Fantasyland Theatre is transformed into the grounds of Bluey’s school, where games are played and memories are made by everyone who comes to the fun fair at Bluey’s school. Guests can go full dance mode with nonstop fun as high-energy musical moments segue into interactive games like Keepy Uppy, inspiring guests of all ages to participate.
Bluey and her sister Bingo appear live on stage throughout the day, joining a group of comedic performers and musicians. Together, they bring popular games and cheeky dance moves from the series to the stage for real life, underscored by new musical arrangements of iconic songs from the animated series played live by a five-piece band.
In addition to the on-stage fun, families will find storytelling, games and dance-alongs, where they can explore the real life Fairy Garden and Gnome Village, race Barky Boats and hop on Bluey’s helicopter stump for a pretend ride to wherever their friends need them.
Shelley Macintyre, Interim CEO, Brands & Licensing, BBC Studios, said: “We are so proud to be launching Bluey’s debut at the Disneyland Resort, with 'Bluey’s Best Day Ever!' Working hand-in-hand with Disney and Ludo Studio, we have crafted an experience that captures the heart and humour of Bluey - we can’t wait to see the memories people create there. This launch is a true testament to the generation-defining hit that Bluey has become.”
Susana Tubert, Creative Director, Disney Live Entertainment, comments: “With ‘Bluey’s Best Day Ever!’, we’ve challenged ourselves as storytellers and artists to create something wholly unique that our guests will remember for years to come. For more than 70 years, bringing treasured tales to life has been at the heart of what we do at Disneyland Resort and with Bluey and her sister Bingo, we are transforming their animated world — one that has brought families so close together — into a real life, tangible experience that everyone can enjoy.”
Jennifer Magill, Executive Producer, Disney Live Entertainment, comments: "We drew inspiration from so many iconic ‘Bluey’ moments and themes, and we wanted to pack as many details as we could into this experience. By transforming Fantasyland Theatre into an immersive space full of activities, we found ways to highlight memorable moments that all ages and everyone in the family will enjoy.”
Ludo Studio, adds: “We are so excited for our audience to experience ‘Bluey’ whilst visiting Disneyland, it feels like a perfect match. It’s been a highlight to get to work so closely with the Disney parks team and to see the wonderful way that the talented performers and musicians have brought the heart and the fun of ‘Bluey’ all the way from Australia to the stage of the Fantasyland Theatre, for real life.”
