I would call Disney instead of trying to manipulate your days of travel. Someone on another thread saying they found a way to get around this restriction doesn't mean it will work for everyone.

Called Disney and they said that you can modify if you are within the 5 day window. I wonder if you can then cancel that modification if things don't work out.
