Disney Cruise Line guests can hang out with some of their favourite Pixar cartoon characters in 2023, including Toy Story’s Woody and Buzz and Mike, Sulley and Boo from Monsters Inc.

Pixar Day at Sea will be included on nine select Disney Fantasy cruises from January through March 2023. Departing from Port Canaveral, Florida, the Disney Fantasy will sail to several destinations in the eastern and western Caribbean.

Eastern Caribbean itineraries feature stops in ports such as Tortola, St. Thomas and San Juan, Puerto Rico, while western Caribbean sailings visit Cozumel, Mexico; Grand Cayman; and Falmouth, Jamaica. Every cruise includes a visit to Disney’s private island oasis, Castaway Cay.

Day-long celebrations will include themed dining, character encounters, dance parties and a theatrical musical experience. The special days will culminate with a deck party.

A Pixar film festival, exclusive merchandise and photo opportunities will also be available as part of the new celebration.
