Having been to San Francisco numerous times (one of my all-time favorite places) I'd book anything I wanted to do on my own, online, as far in advance as possible. You can easily do the museum on your own, and also Alcatraz...which is a "not to be missed" excursion. Alcatraz books up early, so the best thing is to buy tickets online for the time you want. The night time trip to Alcatraz is awesome!
I'd spend the rest of the time just exploring the Wharf area, or I'd book (online) the Duck Tour. It's a fabulous way to see all the sights in one tour.

We have been into San Fran before on a cruise, love the area, we have done excruisions on our own as well, even have Alcatraz already booked (on line) @ night!
Looking forward to this trip!

When I went, I spent around 5 hours and could have spent much longer but they closed. Next time, Im getting there earlier!

I just saw they want $129 per person for the Disney family museum. I'm not going on the cruise, but please don't pay this. I think admission was $20.00 and you could catch a cab for less than $20.00 each way. If you're worried, buy tickets in advance and pay a small service charge. I just showed up and they took my $$. Perhaps with DCL in port, you might book in advance.

Another great stop for the entire family is the California Academy of Science museum in Golden Gate Park. http://www.calacademy.org/. It has an aquarium, four story rainforest, planetarium, etc. Young kids would enjoy it as well as adults.
I have to 2nd this recommendation. The Academy is a wonderful place to go, especially for kids (but really for every age).
You can really get alot out of 2 hours at the Disney Museum. We went soon after it first opened and spent almost 2 hours there and felt that we saw it all. Hope that helps.
Also, a ticket there has a time on it, so they only let in a certain amount of people at a time. It didn't feel crowded at all when we were there. Definitely worth your time if you want to see more of the early works and learn about the life of Walt Disney.

I am having my friend who works in San Francisco check this out for us.
Hope you and Angel had a Merry Christmas and are enjoying the snow.
