Special pricing on California Coast (Pixar themed) Disney Cruise!

Have you been dreaming of taking one of the Disney California Coast Cruises (with an overnight stop in San Francisco, stopping in San Diego and Ensenada, with the opportunity to visit wine country, the Walt Disney Family Museum and more!)?

Well Disney is making this great cruise opportunity even more affordable.  There are special rates on these cruises, with pricing starting at just $599* per person (based on double occupancy in an inside stateroom with restrictions.)  

Special Pixar exclusives on these cruises include:
  • Pixar Presentations and Sneak Peeks:  Artists and filmmakers from Pixar Animation Studios will provide an inside look at the creative process used to develop an animated feature which includes a look at the making of Pixar's newest release, Brave, and a sneak peak at footage of future Pixar films.
  • The Art of Pixar:  Storyboards, character sketches and other inspiring concept art used to design Pixar films will be on display in a special art exihibition at sea.  This collection of art has only been seen outside of Pixar Animation Studios when displayed at leading art museums around the world.
  • Pixar Film Fest:  Guests will be able to enjoy the entire Pixar library of films while onboard, including a selection of delightful animated shorts.  The voyages coincide with the theatrical premiere of "Finding Nemo 3D," which guests will be able to enjoy on the ship.
  • Pixar Character Encounters:  For the first time, more than a dozen Pixar characters will meet and greet guests throughout the cruise, including Mr. Incredible, Remy, Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Lightyear.  There will be special Pixar-themed dance parties and a host of other opportunities to reconnect with favorite Pixar pals.

Sailing guests will also receive a commemorative lithograph created by Pixar artist and Brave co-director/screenwriter, Steve Purcell.

Sailing dates for these special rates are September 16 - September 30, 2012.
