The cruises sail from Port Canaveral, Florida and the highlight is a dedicated Pixar Day at Sea that takes place halfway through the weeklong getaway. On the special day, there’s a packed slate of Pixar-related entertainment including opportunities to meet the wildly popular characters from Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story,” “Monsters, Inc.,” “The Incredibles,” “Finding Nemo” and more.
Some of the most popular events include a themed breakfast with live singing and entertainment from the cast of Toy Story, a pool party with Crush from Finding Nemo, and two high-energy shows at the end of the special themed day featuring a full-roster of Pixar characters, including one show starring The Incredibles.
