1. New Bluey Content Coming To Disney In 2026
Bluey continues to grow into one of the most popular family shows in the world, and Disney has confirmed that new Bluey content will arrive in 2026. While details are still limited, the announcement confirms that the beloved Australian series will continue expanding on Disney platforms. The show follows Bluey, a playful blue heeler puppy, and her family as they navigate imaginative adventures and everyday life lessons.
Bluey has become a huge hit with both kids and parents thanks to its humor, creativity, and surprisingly heartfelt storytelling. The new content is expected to include additional episodes and possibly special projects that continue the adventures of Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, and Chilli. Disney clearly recognizes how important the series has become to families around the world.
Lilly’s take: “Bluey is my favorite show to watch with the family. I hope they make a really long episode like a movie.”
2. Sailor Moon Show Coming To Universal Fan Fest Nights
Universal Studios Hollywood is adding something new for anime fans during its Fan Fest Nights events. A live Sailor Moon show has been announced as part of the celebration, bringing the classic magical girl series to life in a stage production.
Sailor Moon first became popular in the 1990s and has remained one of the most recognizable anime series ever created. The new stage experience will feature characters from the show performing in a theatrical production designed especially for the event. Universal’s Fan Fest Nights highlight different fandoms including anime, sci fi, gaming, and other pop culture worlds.
The addition of Sailor Moon continues Universal’s push to attract anime fans and expand experiences beyond traditional rides and attractions.
R2’s take: “I don’t know Sailor Moon but it sounds like a superhero show. If there are battles and cool costumes I want to see it.”
3. Disney’s First Storyliving Neighborhood Opens In California
Disney is expanding beyond theme parks with a new concept that allows families to live inside a Disney inspired community. The company has revealed more details about Cotino, the first development in the Storyliving by Disney project located in Rancho Mirage, California.
This master planned neighborhood is being designed with input from Disney Imagineers and will include homes, parks, walking paths, restaurants, and community spaces inspired by Disney storytelling. The centerpiece of the development will be a large crystal clear lagoon surrounded by beaches and recreational areas.
The goal of the project is to bring Disney style experiences into everyday life. Residents will have access to special club areas, events, and themed environments that reflect the creativity and design that Disney is known for.
Lilly’s take: “Living in a Disney neighborhood would be amazing. I would want my house to look like a princess castle.”
4. Disney World Is Renovating Its Iconic Treehouse Villas
Disney World has announced renovations for the Treehouse Villas at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort. These unique accommodations are designed like elevated treehouses surrounded by nature and have been a favorite for families who want a quieter stay while still being close to the parks.
The villas sit along the Sassagoula River and provide a peaceful setting that feels very different from most Disney hotels. The renovation project is expected to refresh the interiors while keeping the distinctive treehouse concept that makes the villas so memorable.
These updates will help modernize the rooms while maintaining the adventurous feeling of staying in a forest hideaway at Disney World.
R2’s take: “Sleeping in a treehouse at Disney would be awesome. It feels like a secret base in the woods.”
5. Pixar Announces Release Dates For Major Sequels
Pixar has confirmed release windows for several highly anticipated sequels, including Monsters, Inc. 3, Incredibles 3, and Coco 2. The studio has been focusing on continuing some of its most beloved stories while also developing new original films.
The announcements show that Pixar plans to return to several franchises that have built large fan followings over the years. Coco became one of Pixar’s most celebrated films thanks to its emotional story and music, while The Incredibles remains one of the studio’s most popular superhero series. Monsters, Inc. has also continued to grow through films and streaming series.
Fans will likely have to wait a few years before these sequels arrive, but the confirmation gives audiences something exciting to look forward to.

R2: I want another Incredibles movie because Dash is super fast and that’s awesome.
