Bluey’s Jumping Junction Walkthrough Still Closed as Animals Acclimate

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is keeping guest paths closed to let the newly moved animals settle and has not set a public date to open the walkthrough.

Overview

  • The animals were moved into the new Jumping Junction enclosure around May 20, and the internal walking paths remain closed to visitors.
  • Guests can view the animals from behind perimeter fencing but cannot enter the habitat or use the intended walkthrough route.
  • Disney said it is delaying guest access while animal care teams monitor how the animals adapt to the new space and the noises and movement a continuous guest flow would bring.
  • Jumping Junction replaces the long-running Affection Section and was redesigned as a non-petting, Australia‑themed habitat tied to the Bluey experience.
  • Disney has not announced an opening timeline, and the company’s cautious, welfare‑first approach could keep the walkthrough closed until staff confirm the animals are fully comfortable.
