On the WDW website (No Discounts or previous sales reflected) the price per day on an 8 Day ticket (Hopper, Waterpark) is 39.50 day.

You have this and planned on using 5 days.

Now, a 10 day no expire will cost you $50/day, so there is an significant increase.

However, If you subtract the original 5 day cost of the passes of $310, your new 5 day pass is costing $190 or $38 dollars a day. SO If you ever plan on coming back for a 5 day trip your savings at list rate will be about $120 per 5 day pass. Spend now to save later? Personal choice.

My favorite strategy is the every other year Annual pass.

Buy a pass for Aug 1, 2008 for your August trip. Go for however long (8 days?). Take next years trip prior to Aug 1 2009, buy no passes in 2009. Buy them again in 2010. Thats 36 a day (at 16 days), plus the ability to go even more and the passholder discounts on resorts. This is also very nice for the travel days which hurt to use a park day for 2 hours before the flight.
