Well if you were to buy your tickets today per adult would be 222.00 for a five day base ticket.
Next year you get your hotel w/ dining plan and add a 1 day ticket, that would be an addition 85$ (prices have a tendency to jump 10$ a year). So in total you would spend 307.00 for 6 days.
Or you could buy a 4 day base ticket at 219.00 plus 85$ would equal 304.00 for five days.

Unfortunately I don't know of any sites that list previous prices of the base tickets. So I can't tell you if spending 304$ is worth it or not.

But if you think about.... you could purchase your 5 day tickets today, and then you can hang on to your 1-day ticket for the following visit (as long as you don't use it, the clock doesn't tick). And since your base 1 day ticket is paid for, you pay for the additional days to upgrade it. So your 85$ would be credited to the price of another 5 day ticket (or however long you stay).

I'm sure if your ticket is attached to your room key guest relations can print you off a regular ticket to store for the next trip.
