CELEBRATION, Fla. (May 30, 2012) – A new cast of characters will
stroll the decks and visit with guests aboard the Disney Wonder as Mr.
Incredible, Remy, Woody, Jessie, Buzz Lightyear and other memorable
characters from Pixar Animation Studios’ award-winning films make their
shipboard debut during four special Pixar-inspired seven-night
California Coastal cruises Sept. 16 through Oct. 14, 2012.
During these voyages, Disney Cruise Line guests will be able to
interact with and explore the world of Pixar and their beloved films
while the Disney Wonder sails to popular port cities along the coast of
California. Special entertainment and offerings designed for both
children and adults include:
- Pixar Presentations and Sneak Peeks: Artists
and filmmakers from Pixar Animation Studios will provide guests with an
inside look at the creative process used in the development of an
animated feature or short. Guests will go behind the scenes and explore
the making of Pixar’s newest release “Brave” and get a look at footage
of future Pixar films. - The Art of Pixar: Storyboards, character
sketches, environment paintings, maquettes and other inspiring concept
art used to design Pixar films will be on display in a special art
exhibition at sea. This collection of art has only been seen outside of
Pixar Animation Studios when it has been displayed at leading art
museums around the world. This time the art will truly be a “traveling”
exhibition as the Disney Wonder sails up and down the California coast. - Pixar Film Fest: Guests will be able to
enjoy the entire Pixar library of films while onboard, including a
selection of delightful animated shorts. Viewing opportunities will take
place in the Buena Vista Theatre, Walt Disney Theatre, at the jumbo LED
screen on deck or on in-stateroom televisions. The voyages coincide
with the theatrical premiere of “Finding Nemo 3D,” which guests can
enjoy at either of the two theatres equipped with state-of-the-art Dolby
3D projection systems. - Pixar Character Encounters: More than a
dozen Pixar characters will meet with and greet guests throughout the
cruise. There will be a special Pixar-themed dance parties in the Atrium
Lobby and a host of other opportunities for guests to reconnect with
their favorite Pixar pals.
Guests sailing on the Pixar-themed voyages will also receive a
commemorative lithograph created by Pixar artist and “Brave”
co-director/screenwriter, Steve Purcell.
The Disney Wonder will sail out of Los Angeles and visit San
Francisco, San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico during the four Pixar-themed
voyages. Rates for the seven-night voyages start at $799 per person for a
deluxe inside stateroom, based on double occupancy.
