Disappointing Delay for Disney's Animal Kingdom This Morning
We were a bit worried when Disney's Animal Kingdom made a big operational change starting today. Find out why guests are left disappointed as they start their park day.
Disney World Virtual Queue
Last Tuesday, May 26, 2026, was opening day for "Bluey's Wild World". This highly anticipated attraction will utilize a virtual queue through the My Disney Experience app.
The 7:00 am Virtual Queue filled within seconds each day. On the first day, the 10:00 am Virtual Queue filled within seconds. However, on the following days, the Virtual Queue remained open for 90+ minutes.
Disney did not share how long a Virtual Queue would be in place for "Bluey's Wild World". However, at the end of last week, Disney announced that starting June 2, 2026, a standby queue will be used for "Bluey's Wild World".
Delayed Opening
We were interested in seeing how the standby queue would go with this being the first morning without the Virtual Queue. Guests must first wait in line for the Wildlife Express Train to join the standby queue at Conservation Station for "Bluey's Wild World".
This morning, a long line was forming at the Wildlife Express Train. The first train was to leave the station at 8:00 am. Unfortunately, Guests in line were notified that the Wildlife Express Train would have a delayed opening.
"Bluey's Wild World" does not officially open until 8:30 am, but this delayed opening created disappointment among many in line. When the Harambe loading station filled, Guests were held in a standby queue outside the building.
Bluey's Wild World Standby Queue
They did not allow the guests in the outside queue to join the inner queue until the train began loading. We were on board the Wildlife Express Train at 8:15 am (instead of the promised 8:00 am opening).
The Wildlife Express Train experienced a delayed opening this morning.
The Wildlife Express train ride is roughly 5 minutes. By 8:20 am, we exited the train as Guests began to walk quickly towards the Conservation Station building to join the next queue for "Bluey's Wild World". This was a bit of a mess for opening day without a Virtual Queue. Check out our honest review of this experience HERE.
