The Disney Cruise Line hosts Pixar Days at Sea for ALL cruise passengers on select 5-night itineraries sailing to The Bahamas. These themed-event days let you join your favorite Pixar pals for special character meet-and-greets, entertainment, pool parties, and character dining experiences. We’re BIG fans of this sailing event, and if you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like, read ahead to learn about our most recent Pixar Days at Sea itinerary!

We experienced our Pixar Days at Sea event on Day while sailing with the Disney Fantasy! While we’ve done all sorts of themed events aboard the Disney Cruise Line, Pixar Days just might be our favorite.

We loved Pixar Day at Sea! There’s so much to do, but not an overwhelming amount of activities to the point that FOMO sets in.

One of the best perks of this cruise offering is that it feels like you’re always seeing characters. Disney brings them out in spades, and the biggest Pixar fans will likely spot their favorites. Characters you might meet include Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, Mike and Sulley from Monsters, Inc., Edna Mode from The Incredibles, Joy from Inside Out, Miguel from Coco, and more!

We started off by meeting Edna Mode and Mrs. Incredible, which was just so fun, iconic, and special. We love that you can actually have conversations with them — unlike when you meet them in the Disney Parks. We even got to meet Rex!

Don’t skip the deck parties — even if you think they might not be your thing. We had a blast at Ednaville and thought it was so funny! All the kids got to get involved, and adults got to get involved if they wanted to. Everyone got to sashay away with some fun poses, and there were even some fun surprises with Mr. and Mrs. Incredible, as well as Frozone!

Pixar House celebration was also a great time. They had everybody you wanted to see dancing — kind of like a mini-rave (that’s family-friendly, of course).

Basically, if it sounds silly, do it. For example, we got to do a Create Your Own Forky from the Toy Story franchise, and it was a blast. There was an adults-only version, but we still recommend going to the family one because the kids were very cute.

However, the one reason you should go to Pixar Days at Sea — even if you don’t like Pixar — is the food.

There’s the Hey Howdy Breakfast that includes some tasty eats alongside live music and sing-a-longs!

We LOVED the Pixar Dat at Sea Dinner — which features dishes inspired by the commissary at the California-based Pixar Animation Studios. This was the highlight of the whole day for us. The food served here at Animator’s Palate is unique and so very good, and even if we didn’t dig Pixar, this dinner would make it still very worth it.

Massimo’s Linguini Pasta

This was probably one of the best rotational dining meals we have ever had. It was delicious, buttery, garlicky, and we were really blown away by ALL of it.

Of course, there are even MORE foodie opportunities! You can do the Anyone Can Cook live cooking demo experience, where you can learn how to cook Remy’s signature dish from Ratatouille, as well as Undersea Magic with Crush — which features a Finding Nemo-inspired meal, complete with a special visit from characters from the film!

We tried to join Anyone Can Cook, but it was unfortunately full. We did stop in and smelled amazing, though. We also saw kids asking the French chef questions, and it was very cute and interactive.

Ultimately, we were HUGE fans of this event and had a super fun day! In our opinion, it was super worth it, and we can’t wait to do it again!
