Cool Kids’ Summer at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Change is in the air at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Cool Kids’ Summer is returning for 2026! It will begin on May 26 and run through September 8. There is extra fun across Walt Disney World. Since there’s a lot of information floating around, I thought I’d break it down for you by location. Here’s what we know so far about Cool Kids’ Summer at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

The main attraction for Cool Kids’ Summer will be Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station. This is a permanent attraction, it will not end on September 8.

Here’s the official description, from Alex González and Disney Parks Blog:

Bluey and Bingo are on their way to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Starting May 26 and staying beyond Cool KIDS’ SUMMER, guests can play games and dance with Bluey and Bingo at Conservation Station.

Once guests hop off the Wildlife Express Train, it’s time for fun. Play special games directly from “Bluey” episodes, grab a photo with Bluey and Bingo themselves, and even discover animals native to Bluey’s home country, Australia, at “Jumping Junction.”

This is not Cool Kids’ Summer related, but check the My Disney Experience App when you arrive at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. With the closure of DinoLand U.S.A., there are characters in many different spots across the park.
