Also, this may seem like a weird recommendation but if you only have one day to spend in the Disneyland resort area, I would recommend California Adventure over Disneyland proper. It's smaller (as in closer together, comparable amount of things to do/see), the rides are much better and more exciting, and the shows are excellent. We would typically be tired of the crowds, huge amounts of walking, and mostly kid-oriented rides in Disneyland by about 3 or 4pm.
Our day in California Adventure was excellent though. The rides are awesome (a full rollercoaster, long and very well done rapids ride, tower of terror) and the shows were fantastic. We saw an hour long Aladdin musical that was terrific and the World of Color show they do every evening is a must see.
It would pain me to miss out on Splash Mountain but California Adventure was a better experience for us.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the food in California Adventure is way better too! Plus, you can get beer.

I looked at CA, and it did seem pretty cool, but the wife is dead set on Disneyland. She is kind of a nut for Disney, and I grew up with a Mom who was a Disney nut, so even going on the Dumbo ride appeals to the inner kid in me. I agree though, if we had more than one day I definitely would want to hit CA up for the second day. I guess this is just our be a kid for a day-day.
Which hotel did you stay at if you don't mind me asking? And how were the crowds in Disneyland? Still horrible? Should I medicate to temper my crowd rage?
And yea I am really hoping to be able to see a hockey game, especially a Flames game. Which is why I have left every evening except the Spa day open so far.. Disney though I imagine we will want to see the fireworks as well. But that still leaves Monday/Thur/Fri/Sat.
