    We are sailing on a Pixar Days at Sea. Will there be a pirate night on that cruise?

    Ahoy, Lynne, and welcome to planDisney! Isn't it so great to have a Disney Cruise Line countdown going? There's so much fun coming your way, especially with the extra theming of Pixar Days at Sea.

    Based on 2026 Pixar Day at Sea sailings, you should plan on experiencing Pirate Night in addition to the Pixar Pals Celebration. They're typically held on different nights. I'd suggest checking back around 60 days before embarkation day. By then, more information may be available, and we should be able to confirm that Pirate Night will occur and which nights the themed activities will be held. The schedule is subject to change, but it's nice to have an idea of what to expect!

    The Disney Cruise Line Navigator app is a great tool. You can manage your reservation and explore activities ahead of time. Then, once you board the ship and connect to Wi-Fi, you'll see a detailed schedule of activities, your dining rotation details, and other information specific to your sailing. This is where you can confirm the specific timing of Pirate Night, Pixar entertainment, and more. 

    Pixar Days at Sea packs in a lot of excitement, including meet-and-greet opportunities with popular Pixar Characters, a high-energy deck party, a poolside party, and more. It's a blast! You can even dress in a costume or outfit inspired by your favorite Pixar Character. Just check the costume guidelines if you're planning to dress up.

    Looking at the 2027 itineraries, you'll be sailing on the Disney Fantasy. It's a timeless ship with an elegant style and the perfect amount of magical Disney details. There's a great lineup of entertainment, too.

    Lynne, please reach out if you think of any other questions between now and embarkation day. You'll be sailing the high seas in no time! We're always happy to help here at planDisney!

    Anchors aweigh!
