Bluey's Wild World has officially opened at Animal Kingdom and became an instant hit with guests. Disney was so confident in demand that the Virtual Queue was eliminated less than a week after opening. We discuss what this means for guests and whether Bluey's newest Disney experience lives up to the hype.

We also review two of Walt Disney World's newest attractions:

  • Soarin' Across America at EPCOT
  • Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney's Hollywood Studios

After preview rides on both attractions, we're sharing what surprised us, what Disney got right, and whether either experience deserves a spot at the top of your must-do list.

Plus:

  • Secret Grogu interactions inside Smugglers Run
  • Disney Cruise Line's updated alcohol policy
  • New stateroom door decoration guidelines
  • Summer crowds, Florida weather, and the start of hurricane season
  • Which of Disney's newest offerings impressed us the most

Whether you're planning a Walt Disney World vacation or preparing for your next Disney Cruise Line sailing, we've got the latest news and honest opinions from the parks.
