The cast of characters at Disney parks and on Disney cruise ships is set to add another canine companion, the Walt Disney Company announced Thursday.

Bluey, the blue heeler dog from the children’s show of the same name, will participate in Disney Experiences at Disneyland, Disney World and on Disney Cruise Line ships, the company said in a press release.

The company said Bluey, along with her sister Bingo, will be onboard cruises originating in Australia and New Zealand starting in January 2025. The experience will include meet-and-greets and an interactive game.

“Bluey has become a household name for families around the world, and we’re thrilled to bring her story to life in new ways,” Josh D’Amaro, president of Disney Experiences, said in the release.

Disney has not released details on how or when the characters will appear in their parks.

The cruise announcement comes just days after Disney announced it would produce a film about the blue dog with the BBC.

“Bluey” creator Joe Brumm is set to write and direct the film, which will “continue the adventures” of Bluey and Bingo and was announced to be released in 2027.

“Blue,” which originally shipped in Australia before being picked up by Disney+, was the most-watched kids’ show in 2023 and 2024 across platforms, according to Nielsen reports.

The show has won five Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards for “Best Children’s Program” and an International Emmy Kids Award in the “Kids: Preschool” category in 2019.
