Bluey and her sister Bingo appear live on stage during set times throughout the day, joining a group of comedic performers and musicians. Extra laughs, playful surprises and a little bit of delightful chaos are added when Chattermax, Unicorse and a troupe of Grannies join the fun on stage. Together, they bring popular games and cheeky dance moves from the series to the stage for real life, underscored by new musical arrangements of iconic songs from the animated series played live by a five-piece band.

In addition to the on-stage fun, families will find storytelling, games and dance-alongs on the upper and lower grounds of the venue, where they can explore the real life Fairy Garden and Gnome Village, race Barky Boats and hop on Bluey’s helicopter stump for a pretend ride to wherever their friends need them.

Families can capture their memories with unique photo opportunities including striking a pose with Bluey’s family car and joining in with Bluey’s school class photo. 

All-new Food, Beverages and Merchandise

A selection of new offerings inspired by “Bluey” will arrive at Troubadour Tavern and other select locations in Disneyland Park, so families can fuel the fun with tasty treats, refreshing drinks and affordable options such as the new kids meal combo available for $5.99. The pizza girls baked potato and the mud cake cold brew are two must-try items, both inspired by the episode “Pizza Girls.” The full list of menu items can be found on the Disney Parks Blog.

Survey finds strong opposition to canceling sediment diversions and finds strong support for the Coastal Master Plan

NEW ORLEANS, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —A new, comprehensive statewide poll released yesterday from Restore the Mississippi River Delta finds Louisiana voters overwhelmingly want greater transparency and accountability in how coastal restoration decisions and funding are handled. The survey shows strong opposition to Governor Jeff Landry’s decision to cancel two major sediment diversion projects and broad support for continuing Louisiana’s science-based Coastal Master Plan. And nearly all voters surveyed say the state should more clearly explain how remaining Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement funds will be used and publicly report spending on coastal projects. The polling release comes just a day after the Louisiana Coastal Protection Restoration Authority approved its annual plan which now must go to the Louisiana Legislature for approval. The poll was released during a telepresser yesterday. Watch the full recording here.

A nearly unanimous 98% of voters say the state should clearly explain how it plans to use remaining Deepwater Horizon funds, and 93% say the state should publicly report how much money it is spending on coastal restoration projects.

Notably, the survey finds more than three-quarters of voters – 76% – oppose the Governor’s decision to cancel the sediment diversion projects, including 47% who strongly oppose it. When asked to choose directly between competing approaches to coastal restoration, 73% prefer continuing the Coastal Master Plan over Governor Landry’s alternative shorter-term strategy.

“This poll shows Louisiana voters expect transparency, accountability and science to guide decisions about the future of our coast,” said Simone Maloz, Campaign Director for Restore the Mississippi River Delta. “People want clear answers about how restoration funding will be spent in their communities and why major projects were canceled without discussion. The Coastal Master Plan was built through decades of research and public input, and voters overwhelmingly support continuing that approach.”

Key Findings from the Survey:

Voters demand transparency and accountability:

• 98% agree the state should clearly explain how it plans to use remaining Deepwater Horizon funds.
• 93% agree the state should publicly report how much it is spending on coastal projects.

Voters oppose canceling the sediment diversion projects:

• 76% of voters oppose canceling the sediment diversion projects, including 47% strongly opposed.
• 73% prefer the Coastal Master Plan including the diversions when asked to choose between it and Governor Landry’s new approach.
• 89% support building sediment diversions once they are explained.

Vast majority of voters support science-based coastal planning:

• 95% agree it is important to maintain as much coastal land as possible, including 75% who strongly agree.
• 93% agree the state must have a plan that keeps up with the latest science.
• 91% agree Louisiana should emphasize larger, long-lasting projects rather than smaller, cheaper ones.

Voters believe canceling the projects will have real consequences:

• 67% say it will increase storm surge risk.
• 65% say it will increase homeowners’ insurance costs.

“This survey shows that Louisiana voters expect transparency in how coastal restoration decisions are made and continue to support large-scale sediment diversion projects as part of the Coastal Master Plan,” said Andrew Baumann, Partner at Global Strategy Group. “Voters overwhelmingly believe long-term, science-based restoration remains the right path forward.”

“At a moment when voters are deeply divided on many issues, this survey shows clear agreement across the spectrum,” said Dan Judy, Vice President at North Star Opinion Research, which helped conduct the survey. “A large majority recognizes the seriousness of coastal land loss and support long-term restoration efforts guided by science and clear public accountability.”

Methodology:
The poll was conducted by Global Strategy Group and North Star Opinion Research on behalf of Restore the Mississippi River Delta.

Global Strategy Group and North Star Opinion Research conducted a multi-channel survey of 800 registered voters in Louisiana between February 2 and February 5, 2026. The margin of error at the 95% confidence level is not greater than plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for the overall sample.

– Suunto strengthens science-based climate action at its 90th anniversary

NEW YORK, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 2026 edition of Suunto Vertical Week mobilized the global outdoor community to collectively climb 136 million human-powered vertical meters between February 23 and March 1, exceeding the 10 million meter target and triggering a €10,000 donation from Suunto to Protect Our Winters Europe (POW Europe). Vertical Week is an annual campaign for Suunto, and for the past two years the company has used the initiative to support awareness of POW Europe’s climate advocacy work. As Suunto marks its 90th anniversary in 2026, the company is committed to continue tracking its climate impact and use only recognised climate frameworks to guide its actions.

Since 2014, Suunto has invited it’s community worldwide to head outdoors, push their limits and track their ascent during the annual Suunto Vertical Week. The initiative again demonstrated strong global engagement in human-powered outdoor activity and, for the second consecutive year, in climate-focused action. The 2026 challenge, organized in partnership with POW Europe, ran from February 23 to March 1 and set a collective target of 10 million vertical meters to unlock Suunto’s €10,000 donation to POW Europe. The goal was exceeded, with participants recording a record total of 136 million vertical meters.

• Total vertical meters climbed: 136 million meters
• Total number of participants: 189,000
• Most active countries by number of participants: 1. United Kingdom 2. France 3. Germany
• Most popular sports activities: 1. Running 2. Walking 3. Cycling

Partnership with POW Europe continues for a second year

POW Europe works to mobilize the outdoor community around climate advocacy. The Vertical Week campaign brings the organization’s work to the attention of more than 189,000 participants and encourages engagement in climate action. The collaboration is intended to connect outdoor participation with awareness of climate impacts affecting winter and mountain environments.

Benjamin Aidan, Partnership Director at POW Europe, said the initiative helps translate community motivation into tangible support for climate advocacy. “This campaign again shows what can be achieved when the outdoor community comes together around a shared cause, and around the winter environments we seek to protect.”

At 90 years, Suunto emphasizes product-level environmental impact and science-based climate targets

Founded in 1936, Suunto marks its 90th anniversary in 2026. Suunto’s sustainability work is increasingly focused on trying to quantify the company’s environmental impacts and verifying related related data by internationally validated frameworks. The company takes voluntary action to compensate its carbon emissions by offsetting the product lifecycle emissions of sold outdoor watches and field compasses through certified carbon projects. Offsetting is based on lifecycle emission calculations that cover materials, production, transportation, product use, and disposal.

Suunto emphasizes that extending product lifetime remains a primary lever to minimize environmental impacts and resource use.The company designs durable, high-quality products and maintains repair services where technically feasible, while continuing research to identify most significant impacts and improvement areas in its value chain.

At the end of 2025, Suunto committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a global framework that validates corporate greenhouse-gas reduction targets against climate science and the goals of the Paris Agreement. During 2026, Suunto will develop and submit its near-term science-based emissions reduction targets for SBTi validation. Once approved, these targets will steer the company’s emissions-reduction roadmap in the coming years.

Upright analysis indicates net positive overall impact

According to an assessment by The Upright Project at the end of 2025, Suunto’s overall impact across the dimensions of society, knowledge, health and environment, is positive: Suunto creates on average 36% less negative impact than positive impact to the world. This places the company in the top 36 percent of approximately 9,000 companies analyzed globally. The model, which uses machine-learning analysis of more than 200 million scientific articles and major global databases (including OECD, WHO, IPCC, IMF and World Bank sources), counts in impacts of all operations of the company and the lifetime impacts of products.

“Suunto’s largest positive contributions relate to knowledge creation and the role of activity-tracking products in supporting physical health, and employment and tax contributions. The negative impacts are on a similar level to any electronics company and linked to rare raw material extraction and electronics waste. We continuously follow changes in the operational context and international regulations to improve our environmental and human rights due diligence in supply chains. We are a member of the corporate responsibility network FIBS, supply chain sustainability organisation Sedex and the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI). All our product carbon footprints are calculated in accordance with the global GHG Protocol and verified by an independent third party,” said Suunto’s Senior Sustainability Manager, Heidi Heikkinen.

As Suunto looks towards the next 90 years, it will continue to prioritize measurable impact reductions, product longevity and science-based climate action. The 90-year milestone reinforces Suunto’s long-term focus on building durable products for outdoor use while systematically reducing the company’s environmental footprint.

About Suunto

Suunto is a Finnish brand, established in 1936. It was founded by Finnish inventor Tuomas Vohlonen, who pioneered a new standard for navigational precision. That same year, his innovation – a field compass – was stronger, steadier, and more accurate than any other handheld navigational tool of its time. It was the first of many Suunto products built to withstand the harsh conditions of our native Finland.

In the near century since, Tuomas’s spirit of innovation has continued to chart Suunto’s course. From some of history’s first dive computers and high-altitude wrist altimeters to today’s GPS watches, Suunto remains a trusted companion for outdoor adventurers across the globe.

Supporting explorers, athletes, and weekend warriors alike remains our core mission – providing the tools to dive deeper, climb higher, and push the limits of human potential.

RAPID CITY, S.D., March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — New Harbor Press is pleased to announce the release of Are You Afraid of Death? (ISBN 978-1-63357-481-6) by author Jim Taylor. The new publication offers a theological examination of human mortality through the lens of the American Standard Bible.

In Are You Afraid of Death?, Taylor explores the biblical narrative of creation, the introduction of sin, and the subsequent appointment of death. The book provides a detailed analysis of how historical biblical figures, such as Job, processed suffering and the “king of terrors”. Taylor argues that through the cross and resurrection, the fear of death is replaced by a promise of eternal life and restoration.

The author draws upon his extensive background as a minister to break down complex theological concepts into accessible chapters. Topics include the spiritual significance of the three days of the cross, the concept of being “born again,” and a description of the “New Restored World”.

“Jim Taylor provides a thoughtful perspective on the transition from fear to faith,” says Editor Mark Richardson. “His work meticulously bridges the gap between ancient scripture and the universal human experience of facing mortality.”

RAPID CITY, S.D., March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — New Harbor Press is pleased to announce the release of Are You Afraid of Death? (ISBN 978-1-63357-481-6) by author Jim Taylor. The new publication offers a theological examination of human mortality through the lens of the American Standard Bible.

In Are You Afraid of Death?, Taylor explores the biblical narrative of creation, the introduction of sin, and the subsequent appointment of death. The book provides a detailed analysis of how historical biblical figures, such as Job, processed suffering and the “king of terrors”. Taylor argues that through the cross and resurrection, the fear of death is replaced by a promise of eternal life and restoration.

The author draws upon his extensive background as a minister to break down complex theological concepts into accessible chapters. Topics include the spiritual significance of the three days of the cross, the concept of being “born again,” and a description of the “New Restored World”.

“Jim Taylor provides a thoughtful perspective on the transition from fear to faith,” says Editor Mark Richardson. “His work meticulously bridges the gap between ancient scripture and the universal human experience of facing mortality.”
