It will take you to Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station, where you can expect dancing, games like Keepy Uppy, and animals native to Australia.

Annual Passholder Reservations Updated in App
We know many DVC fans are Walt Disney World annual passholders. It just got easier for you to make a park reservation.
In the Disney World app, you’ll still select the plus sign in the circle on the bottom menu. From there, you’ll select Make or Modify Park Reservations. Then you can make reservations right in the app instead of being taken to a mobile browser on your device to sign in and do it on the website.
You can also just scroll down on this screen to see different reservations that you and your contacts have made.
The in app set up is much cleaner now with the ability to see which park you have a reservation for when you go to modify. You can also modify one person’s reservation without modifying others on the same initial confirmation. The functionality is much better overall, with some key, clarifying terms populating when you go to make additions or changes.
If passholders must continue to make park reservations, at least it’s more organized and easier to access.
