Pixar Day at Sea Basics

Before we dive into the food, we just want to note that Pixar Day at Sea will start on January 7th, 2023. It will debut on 9 of the 7-night sailings on the Disney Fantasy. Be sure to check and see whether the sailing you’re booked on will feature this unique event.

Alright, let’s dive into the food.

Hey Howdy Breakfast with Woody and Friends

Ever wanted to have breakfast with Woody and his pals? Well, soon you’ll be able to if you hop on a Pixar Day at Sea sailing. This brand new “interactive” breakfast is themed to Woody’s Roundup from Toy Story 2. During the breakfast, you’ll get to see a cowboy guitarist, musical show moments, and even appearances from Woody, Jesse, and Bullseye.

The breakfast menu will include:

• Assorted muffins and pastries

Advance reservations are required. You can start booking up to 30 days in advance of your sailing!

Sweet Treats

Need some sweets? Disney has you covered. Head over to Sweet on You to check out treats themed to the Pixar films, including a Joyful Lemon Cupcake (lemon sponge and vanilla crème frosting)…

…Toy Story Letter Blocks (chocolate blocks filled with mixed candy)…

…and Sheriff Rice Krispy Treats Badge.

The Joyful Lemon Cupcake appears to be similar to the Joy cupcake available at Joyful Sweets on the Disney Wish Cruise Ship, except the one on the Wish had a white chocolate mousse on top instead of frosting.
