Why Bluey’s World Isn’t At Any Of The Disney Parks

Some people may have thought Bluey’s World was going to be in a Disney Park because many international audiences have seen the show through Disney+. However, Disney only owns the international streaming rights.Blueyis not a Disney productionand therefore not likely to be in one of their parks.
Blueyis instead a joint collaboration between the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Company.
