As others have said, Creation won't publish the schedule until the week of the convention. In the past, the Friday events have started around 1-2pm, with registration opening up an hour or two before. Depending on where your seats are, autographs on Sunday can run until 6pm or later, so if you're flying, plan accordingly, keeping in mind getting to the airport early. I got tired of making the mad dash Sunday night, and find it easier to leave on Monday.
There are many hotels in the area, as it's near the airport. Staying at the con hotel is the easiest, especially since events on Friday and Saturday can run pretty late, and you might not feel safe walking back to your hotel. Also keep in mind, if you're driving, parking is usually cheaper if you're a guest at the hotel. If you can find someone to room with, that's definitely the best thing.
As for the con itself, I never buy photo op or autograph tickets until I get there. It's a rare, rare time when something gets sold out, and you'll save tons of money in service fees. Bring your own items to be signed or be prepared to buy photos in the 'dealer room'. It's easy to meet people while waiting in line for autos and photos, and don't forget to HAVE FUN! I'm sure you will.
