Park Hopper Tickets w/ Water Park & More Option: How does this work?

[mommy2kael]

Hello All!
We are headed to Disney World, for our FIRST trip, in five days. Needless to say, we are VERY excited.
One thing I can't seem to pin down is how the Water Park & More Option works. We purchased this thinking it would get us into the water park, etc, for every day of our ticket, but after doing some looking we found it offers addmissions "based on the number of days" of the ticket.
Can someone shed some light on this for us?
We have an eight day ticket with the option.

Thanks in advance!

The 8 day ticket with water park fun gives you six (up to all day) admissions to water parks, Disney Quest, Pleasure Island (all clubs for an evening) and the visits can occur either on the same or different days from your 8 theme park days.

The visits work the same way with or without hopping on your ticket, for example going to both Disney Quest and Typhoon Lagoon on the same day consumes two visits. Leaving and returning to the same place on the same day does not consume another visit.

It is usually not worthwhile to add non-expiration (about $135) to an 8 day ticket. But if you have at least the eighth theme park day and some water park fun left over, or if you have to leave early due to an emergency, adding the ninth and tenth days together with non-expiration (about $170.) usually makes sense.
