by : Shonda Rhimes

Beloved children's personalities, Blippi and Meekah, are set to enchant young audiences with two brand-new episodes filmed at the renowned Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. These highly anticipated installments will debut on the official Blippi YouTube channel, bringing the magic of Disney to screens worldwide. The collaboration aims to inspire curiosity and learning through interactive adventures, mirroring the success of their previous visits to Walt Disney World Resort and the Disney Cruise Line.

The upcoming episodes are designed to provide an immersive and educational experience for children. On May 30, viewers can look forward to "Blippi's Disneyland Vehicle Adventure," where Blippi and Meekah embark on a journey to discover various modes of transportation within the park. Their exploration will take them through iconic locations such as Main Street U.S.A. on a fire engine, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Mickey’s Toontown, and the classic attraction "it's a small world." They will also venture into Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to assist in locating a droid. The adventure continues at Disney California Adventure Park, featuring dancing at "Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!", soaring through Goofy’s Sky School, and racing in Cars Land.

The second episode, "Meekah Finds Her Disneyland Heroes," scheduled for release on June 13, focuses on Meekah's quest to meet her favorite Disney heroes. She will encounter beloved characters like Rapunzel, Shuri from Black Panther, and Minnie Mouse. A pivotal moment in the episode sees Meekah grappling with self-doubt after giving away her magic bubble wand before a ride on Dumbo the Flying Elephant. However, a special visit from Princess Tiana helps her realize her own inherent heroism. These episodes, following last year's highly popular Disney-themed content which garnered over 30 million YouTube views, will also be available for streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S. starting June 30.

The special series underscores the strong partnership between the children's entertainment brand and the iconic Disney parks. Mike Katzman, General Manager of Core Brands, emphasized that Disneyland's blend of imagination, adventure, and discovery makes it an ideal setting for Blippi and Meekah's explorations. He noted that these new episodes are crafted to foster a sense of wonder and encourage children to engage in learning through movement, play, and memorable experiences with cherished Disney narratives and attractions.
