I can't even pinpoint what I love most about Hockey - I just love it all. And me at a game rivals the height of my Disney excitement. My energy level goes through the roof and loosing my voice is just about a guarantee rather than a possibility.

But my first game ever was back at one of the Sharks very first home games and I was a little kid. My dad was a big Bruins fan, having grown up in Boston, and was excited that the Bay Area was getting a team so he could share something with me. Well, I got my head shoved into Sharkie's mouth which can be a little traumatizing as a little girl!!!

Maybe that explain some of my craziness.

Well that is not the most auspicious way to get started and it would have freaked me out.

Who won? As if I need to ask.

You don't need to ask. You really don't need to ask

Indeed!!

Indeed!!

Part 1 of my wish has been granted - no medal for Russia. I will sleep well tonight.

Is that like the first time ever?

Is that like the first time ever?

It feels like that sometimes. It would make it all the more satisfying. But I don't believe they were on the podium in '06. My memory doesn't go back any further than that.

This is like the first time in 60 years that Canada beat them. It is just amazing. And wonderful!!

Now, they just need two more wins and they'll need to make me a new smiley-dude to outdo that one.

We are getting Stovall's for $75 a night for two queens and I would pay $69 a night for the same type room at Hojo's on the entertainment rate. Not that much of a difference for us. We are getting a reduced rate at Stovall's.

Did you guys see the promotions at Stovall's? Stay two nights and get a third free if you have either a 2+ day park hopper or a GAD volunteer certificate. If the Ent. Rate is not available for our June trip, it seems like a good deal. I'm a bit leery of the walk though. Would I be a bad person to book this deal and the Hojo and cancel one before I trip?

You know I thought about doing that. My friend Belen and her family always stay at Stovall's and she swears by the place. We are getting the deal through the air force base, and after pricing it I know that it is a real good deal. With Costco the price is over $100 a night. I was leaning toward Hojo's but I decided to go ahead and do this, I hope I am right.

I did see that - I forgot how long it runs though. Does it go into July? I'm not so sure about staying on Katella though. I think I'd rather stick with something on Harbour if we don't end up going with HOJO.

Look what I had waiting for me in my in-box when I got home from work this afternoon:

Am I excited or what? It's funny because my name is so long that it doesn't fir on one line in the space provided so it kind of overlaps itself

I can't decide if I like this voucher more than the golden ticket from last year's birthday promotion. This one is just fun. It'll probably look like pooh (not 'Winnie the') when I have to print it out on my computer though. And I will not be printing it anytime soon, because if I do, I'll probably loose it and then I would be SOL!

I'm still debating exactly what I'll be using it for. I really want to invest in an AP since I plan on going on the girls trip with the Divas in 2011. It would be awesome to get the discounts on dining and tours but the huge drawback for me is that I don't think I could do a DLR visit without a Magic Morning. Not to mention it does suit me a little better to spread out the money and buy my park hoppers for each trip - our hours at work right now are far from ideal and I don't see them getting better as soon as they normally would. The more I think about, the more I am talking myself out of getting an AP.

So without the AP, the difference in PH's from my Credit Union between 3 and 4 days is extremely minimal so the value of 1 days free admission isn't really that much. So right now I'm thinking that my best option is to go with the FP's since it will be the summer. But then I can't help but remember that the only ride that I'm really 100% interested in that is offered with the GAD FP's is Indy and I would rather do the SR line because it's so so so so much faster.

So maybe I will go with the pin set?

Hmm, I need to go back and edit my PTR post sometime soon

You have to book before March 21 I think but the promotion runs all year. I'm nervous about staying on Katella as well.

You are getting a fantastic price! I'm very interested to hear what you think of the hotel. Of course, our trips overlap so I'll have to decide before you get back.

Sweet!

No way!! I got it too. I printed it and I am trying to decide where to put it. I am using mine towards my AP!!

Actually we stayed on Katella before and there is a walkway near there and if you choose not to walk they have a good shuttle. I will post on my trip report during the trip. Not that it will help though.

So are you going to upgrade to an AP the day you get there? Because we can't use the GAD-voucher and another PH to upgrade based on what I'm understanding.

I'm still torn on the AP - I really, really, really don't want to loose my Magic Morning.

I am doing it on Sunday I am going to upgrade from my GAD. I figure in discounts and the fact that I am going to do the ladies only trip I am willing to lose out on my magic morning.

Those darn discounts are what's causing the other half of the turmoil, lol. I feel like I'm going to start throwing a temper tantrum soon because my indecision is driving me batty. I think I could live without the MM for the ladies trip, but not for the summer.

What could work is to buy my park hopper, us it Thursday, Friday and Saturday (with the MM) and then upgrade later that day since upgrading on a Saturday will still give me admission that day even though it's blocked out. Or I could upgrade before leaving on Sunday ... ?
