Overview
- Disney confirms temporary closure of Conservation Station, Affection Section, and the Wildlife Express Train starting February 23, 2026.
- Because the train is the only route to the area, guest access to all of Rafiki’s Planet Watch will be halted during construction.
- The new offering is described as an interactive Bluey experience with games, dances, meet-and-greets with Bluey and Bingo, and animal elements inspired by Australia.
- No specific reopening dates have been released; Disney is targeting a summer 2026 debut, and casting materials indicate rehearsals may begin in early May.
- The Animation Experience at Conservation Station will close on February 23 and is reported to relocate to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, while the petting zoo’s longer-term status remains uncertain.
