Water Park and more... reassure me?

[Zhoen]

Hello, Dearies!

I have read that if you purchase a 4-day ticket with WPFAM added, that those entries do NOT count as your park days... can anyone here confirm that?

My parents are visiting along with us (not really "together" since we're staying at different places and we're ditching them for a couple days to run to the keys...) and they are interested in doing water parks on days when none of us are doing parks.

So, to be painfully, insultingly clear in my question:
Can we do MK, AK, Epcot, and DHS, then after they've used up all 4 days of their 4-day tickets, can they go to the water parks on 2 other (non-park) days (using 2 of the 4 entries on their tickets?)

I want to be sure before I pitch the idea to them. A couple of blogger say 'yes', but the official Disney site didn't leave me with warm fuzzies, so I figured I'd consult the real experts.

Anybody done this? Recently?

Yes, that is how it works. That is how it has always worked. Nothing has changed.

All of the entitlements will expire after 14 days from the first use.

Thanks! I've never used it myself, but I wanted to be sure before I recommended it. Happy New Year!
