I also just got off and the cruise was awesome.
The Pixar Presentations were great and not super crowded. They had you go based on your dinner time, but they didn't check. Either way there were seats still left in both presentations. They did one on each sea day.
There was a Pixar dance party, can't remember when since didn't go.
They did on the second sea day Pixar Pals meet and greet which is similar to the till we meeet again with the characters coming down the stairs and then doing a meet and greet, no autographs at this time.
For the Toy Story Dinner, which is very good, replaced the captains Gala menus, there is still lobster and I thought the lonster meal was actually better. We were never told anything about special guests coming to dinner, so not sure what the OP was talking about.
The lithograph they gave out is beauitful,same size as others they have given out in the past for special cruises. They gave it out second to last night.
Art of Pixar book, retail value $50 and very big and heavy is beautiful and was a pleasent surpraise. It was given to anyone who booked and paid the vacation on a disney Visa or castaway club member. One per stateroom. Second sea day there was a signing of it by one of the people who gave a presentation , Jay Ward in our case. Be prepared to get there early or sit around for along time. They handed numbers out, we had 56 and it took over an hour to get to it, and people had numbers in the 100's. They allow for multiple items to be signed and pictures.
Merchandise, personally I thought this was lacking. They had 1 white t shirt with the same print from the litho on the back. A nice nike polo with the pixar cruise logo. A hat, post card. Pretty much other than that it was generic pixar stuff that they always sell and the parks sell, like toys and stuffed animals. They had one pin with the pixar logo they released but is limited to 500 for all 4 cruises. They hand out wristbands the first night when the shops open and its 1 per stateroom and allows you to buy 2 pins. You can't buy the pin till the next morning.
San Fran and San Diego were great.
For San Diego, we used Advantage Car rental and got a great rate and was super easy. You just call them when you get off the ship and they came within 10 mins. It was nice to have a car to drive around. We did the Zoo, La Jolla (beautiful) and Seaport Village.
San Fran, we got the City pass, and used feet and public transportation to get around. Cable cars are fun, but get very very very busy.
