Seeing Bluey at Disneyland
I didn't know Bluey was a girl.
We went to see Bluey at Disneyland, and there’s so much I want to discuss including how my daughter cried when she thought we couldn’t get in, how we did actually end up getting in, and how Jess ended up buying a Bluey water bottle just because the line was so long lol. But those stories will be for another time!
Today, I want to confess that I actually don’t know that much about Bluey. I’ve heard good things about it, and I’ve watched a couple of episodes, but my kids know way more about it than I do. I didn’t even know Bluey was a girl until late in the game. What I do know, though, is that it’s a great show to keep the kids occupied.
We went to see the show at Disneyland, and my eyes were really opened to another world. People knew all the characters. People knew all the songs. As someone who knows a lot about Disney, I felt like an outsider at Disneyland. But it all looked very fun and exciting!
As a Christian, I was reminded that our faith can seem very different—especially to those who have not had much exposure to it before. Our churches may seem strange, with all the different people to meet and songs to learn.
But I believe the Gospel is good enough to draw people in—to turn outsiders into family and pull them into the story, transforming confusion into joy. And I’m grateful I get to be part of that welcome.
