It was recently announced that Bluey and Bingo are on their way to the Disney Parks and cruise ships in 2025. As thrilling as that is, it's a safe bet that Disney won't stop there.
Character Meet and Greets and different park experiences are just the beginning. While these additions were inevitable, it might not be long before we eventually see the first Bluey ride or attraction, and one fan might have figured out where.
Is Bluey Bound for EPCOT?
Along Main Street has touched on Bluey and Bingo's park potential before, but TikTok user @ejapeeta shares a fan concept video of something much bigger than a Character Meet and Greet. In the footage (found here), the creator shows what it might be like if Spaceship Earth took a more animated approach to its experience.
The concept depicts a reworking of Spaceship Earth inspired by the highly acclaimed episode "Sleepytime." For those of you who haven't seen it, it's a heartwarming dreamscape during a night at the Heeler house brought to life as Bingo's dreams are set to a classical score by Gustav Holst.
It's this space theme that makes the idea so tangible, as EPCOT and many of its attractions have utilized the concepts of interstellar travel. While Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind might be the more exciting alternative to Spaceship Earth or Mission: SPACE, this Bluey-inspired trip across the solar system might not be just a passing fancy.
As the user points out in their video, the idea works because of its "emotional depth, family-friendly and broad appeal, and opportunities for projection and animation." As true as that might be, Spaceship Earth is likely here to stay, at least the inside portion anyway.
Spaceship Earth is an EPCOT icon, and its journey across our cosmic timeline isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The attraction simply has too many parts to just be gutted in favor of Disney's latest acquired IP. However, that doesn't mean there isn't a chance.
A Bluey ride might still be years down the road, but using the EPCOT geosphere as a tool to bring a more vivid version of "Sleepytime's" sequences to life isn't so out of pocket if Disney truly wants to bring Bluey's world to life at the parks. As pointed out in the video, the concept fits the futuristic theming, and Disney loves showing off its animation skills.
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas, but this vision might actually be in our future. Depending on what Disney does during its partnership with Ludo, we might see something of this scale come to pass.
How would you handle a Bluey-themed attraction?
