Michael,
To be honoest the best thing for you to do is the Magic Your Way tickets. Basically what they are is a pay a price per day that you want tickets for. The more days you purchase the cheaper it is per day. IOW, when we were there in October it would have cost us only $15 more between staying 8 or 10 days, so of course it made more sense to get tickets for 10 days.
Here is an awesome site you need to look into:
