Follow Along on Our Pixar Day at Sea Cruise on the Disney Fantasy

Hey howdy hey! We’re so excited to announce that we’re about to set sail with Disney Cruise Line on the Pixar Day at Sea cruise on the Disney Fantasy on February 20! We’ll be enjoying a 5-night Eastern Caribbean Cruise with stops at both of Disney’s private islands, Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, and Pixar Day at Sea featuring beloved Pixar friends with exclusive experiences for Disney Cruise Line guests on the select Disney Fantasy sailings. We hope you’ll come sail away with us and follow along during another DisneyLists.com cruise week! Learn more about our upcoming trip below!

1 – Cruising

We (Chad and Cindy) love cruising and enjoy cruises as often as possible. Over the years, we’ve enjoyed thirteen cruises, three being on Disney Cruise Line. We’ve learned a lot over all those cruises and try to share that knowledge with our readers. We are very excited to share our experiences on the Disney Fantasy for cruise newbies and veterans alike.

2 – Disney Cruise Line

Disney Cruise Line launched in 1998. Since its inception, it has established itself as a leader in the cruise industry, providing a setting where families can reconnect, adults can recharge, and children can experience all Disney has to offer. The Disney fleet includes eight ships: Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, Disney Destiny, and the Disney Adventure (launching March 2026). Itineraries include locations such as the Caribbean, Bahamas, Alaska, and Europe. The homeport is Port Canaveral, Florida, making a combined Disney World and Disney Cruise vacation a convenient option for many families. Some of our best cruise experiences have been on Disney Cruise Line, and we love the unique experience only Disney can provide at sea.

3 – Disney Fantasy

The Disney Fantasy is the fourth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. The ship joined the Disney Magic (maiden voyage in 1998), the Disney Wonder (maiden voyage in 1999), and the Disney Dream (maiden voyage in 2011). The Disney Fantasy lives up to its name, bringing Disney fantasies to life with entertainment and dining experiences specifically designed with longer cruises in mind. In true Disney Cruise Line tradition, Disney Fantasy has something for everyone, with activities and areas just for kids, families, and adults.

4 – Pixar Day at Sea

From time to time, Disney Cruise Line offers themed vacations for their guests to enjoy on select sailings. Themed offerings include Halloween on the High Seas, Very Merrytime Christmas Cruises, Marvel Day at Sea, and the newly returning Pixar Day at Sea. This is our second Pixar Day at Sea sailing, and we’re excited to experience it again. The cruise will include a special day of themed dining, character encounters, dance parties, a theatrical musical experience, and an “Incredible” deck party at the end of the day! We have enjoyed a Very Merrytime Christmas Cruise and Marvel Day at Sea Cruise as well, and know these themed offerings never disappoint!

5 – A Unique Caribbean Cruise

Cindy and I have traveled all over the Caribbean, but we love beach days at the private islands. This particular sailing is unique in that it is one of the few Disney Cruise Line sailings that makes calls at both of Disney’s private islands. The two island experiences are quite different, so the chance to enjoy the excitement of Castaway Cay and the more laid back relaxation of Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is perfect for us.

6 – Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point

Lookout Cay is a part of the island of Eleuthera, The Bahamas, and is inspired by and celebrates the culture of The Bahamas. This one-of-a-kind retreat offers unique and exclusive Disney entertainment, port adventures and nature trails, water play areas, and beautiful beaches for families and adults.

6 – Castaway Cay

Our final day will be at Disney’s Castaway Cay, a 1,000-acre private island with turquoise waters, powdery white sand beaches, and swaying palm trees exclusive to Disney Cruise Line guests. With an authentic island barbecue and plenty of snorkeling and water sports, Castaway Cay provides a day of adventure, relaxation, and quality time with the family.

Island amenities include:

• • 20 premium 325-square-foot private, furnished cabanas in two locations: Castaway Family Beach (for families) and Serenity Bay Beach (for adults)
  • Secluded, adults-only beach, Serenity Bay
  • Two Water Play Areas: Pelican Plunge and Spring-a-Leak
  • The Hide Out, a teens-only activity area on the beach
  • Port Adventures for everyone in the family, including stingray interactions, glass-bottom boat tours,
  • Parasailing and fishing
  • Free childcare at Scuttle’s Cove, an expansive child’s area supervised by Disney counselors
  • Disney Character Greetings
  • Swimming, kayaking, water sports, and more

I just love Castaway Cay and everything that the island has to offer. Shari and Kristy will complete their first Castaway Cay 5k, and I look forward to showing my sisters what a fun beach day you can have on Castaway Cay.
