TRAVEL LOG: Day 2 – Part 1 of Pixar Day at Sea Cruise on the Disney Fantasy
Pixar and Disney go hand in hand, and bringing Pixar to Disney Cruise Line makes perfect sense. While Pixar Day at Sea is a one-day event where guests can experience exclusive themed activities, entertainment, dining, and more, some offerings are available all week long for guests to enjoy. We’ll tackle Pixar Day at Sea in two separate articles because so much is offered. In this article, we’ll focus on offerings that fall outside of the actual Pixar Day at Sea and are either offered all week or on a day separate from Pixar Day at Sea. Learn more below.
1 – Your Favorite Pixar Movies and Characters
Pixar has produced some of the most beloved characters that Disney fans love. During the Pixar Day at Sea Cruise, some of the most popular movies are brought to life, and guests can interact with their favorite characters. You’ll see characters from beloved Pixar tales of “Toy Story,” “Monsters, Inc.,” “The Incredibles,” “Finding Nemo,” “Inside Out,” “Ratatouille,” “Up,” and “Coco.”
From the moment you step onto the ship, you’ll see a Pixar Day at Sea photo backdrop where you’ll want to take a photo! It will be up all week, so you’ll have time when it’s convenient.
2 – Exclusive Merchandise and Novelty Items
If you’re a Disney novelty item collector, you’ll love the items available during the Pixar Day at Sea cruise. During our cruise, we saw Woody’s boot, a Pixar ball sipper, a Green Alien sipper, a Crush popcorn bucket, a Coco sipper, and a few straws. The items are available throughout the entire cruise. Check them out in our Instagram post below:
The Pixar Day at Sea merchandise is also available all week, and we purchased our items on the first night of the cruise. Some sizes may be limited, so we recommend purchasing your items on the first evening so you get the size you want. Items include a pins, an ornaments, a clothing and more.
3 – Pixar Treats at Sweet on You
During the cruise, you’ll want to stop by Sweet on You, the sweet shop on the Disney Fantasy. Here you’ll find Pixar treats such as the Joyful Lemon Cupcake, Toy Story Letter Blocks (chocolate blocks filled with mixed candy), and the Sherriff Rice Krispy Treats Badge. You’ll also be able to enjoy Jack Jack Num Num Cookies, Lightning McQueen Cupcakes, Edna Marshmallows, Anger cakes, and Andy’s Strawberry. All of these items are available for purchase and are not included with your cruise fare, but we felt the prices were very reasonable. Take a look at some of the items below (click any photo to enlarge).
The treats at Sweet on You are available throughout the cruise, not just on Pixar Day at Sea.
4 – Pixar Magic in Your Room
Another offering that happens before the actual Pixar Day is some pixie dust in your stateroom. Don’t be surprised to see some of your favorite Pixar characters making an appearance in the form of towel art.
If you want to really bring the Pixar magic into your stateroom, consider purchasing the Pixar Room Décor Package ahead of your cruise. Our friends at Disney Cruise Line surprised us with the décor package the night before Pixar Day at Sea, and it was awesome to have the Pixar celebration in our room. The package includes a ceiling banner, a door magnet, two hanging garlands, an oversized beach towel, and two pillowcases. These keepsakes will be fun to have at home after the cruise.
If you order the Pixar Room Décor package, it will be in your stateroom on the first day of your cruise!
5 – Hey Howdy Breakfast with Woody and Friends
An interactive character dining experience is offered as part of Pixar Day at Sea and is hosted by Sheriff Woody, Jesse, and Bullseye and includes sing-a-longs, cowboy serenades, and all the country breakfast fixins. The Hey Howdy Breakfast with Woody and Friends will take place on days than Pixar Day at Sea. This allows guests to jump right into the day’s activities without missing out because of the breakfast. We loved this, and it was great to experience the breakfast on another day.
