If you’ve been to Disney’s Animal Kingdom lately, then odds are you’ve visited Bluey’s Wild World. This new section in Animal Kingdom is dedicated to everyone’s favorite Australian Blue Heeler, Bluey, and hosts some Australian kangaroos and wallabies, too!

Jumping Junction

Jumping Junction, the petting zoo in Bluey’s Wild World, isn’t actually a petting zoo yet. When the land first opened, it wasn’t open because the animals needed to get acclimatized. But when we visited yesterday, Jumping Junction made a massive leap towards opening!

Jumping Junction will eventually become a petting zoo where you can meet Australian kangaroos and wallabies up close and personal, but the animals need to be acclimatized and comfortable around people before it fully opens as a petting zoo. In early June, Disney began offering Cast Member-guided walking tours of the habitat for about 5-10 people per group to help the animals become more comfortable around humans. But that number just increased!

Kangaroos!

Now, you can take up to 15 people on your walking tour! If you have smaller parties, you will still be combined with other groups, like other attractions. When we visited in groups of five, the line was looong, so we were so excited that we only waited five minutes today because they’re able to take more people at a time!

The 5-minute line

Despite being in a larger group, it still felt intimate, and we could still hear our guide clearly. Our guide told us that if we want to see more activity, to come in the morning, which we already have plans for! They also explained that all of the kangaroos and wallabies are still growing, which will make the experience more exciting over the next few years. We’re officially crossing “watch a baby kangaroo grow up” off our bucket lists!

There they are!

Jumping Junction will fully open as a petting zoo on an unspecified date in the near future. We’ll be sure to update you on any changes that hit the attraction. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney World news!
