May 26, 2017 at 8:07 AM · This increase is not $15/day, it’s $15/person (5 day park hopper is currently $445, while a 5-day park hopper plus is $460, plus tax of course). Also the number of water park days you receive as part of the park hopper plus option is equal to the number of theme park days on the pass (5 day pass = 5 days of water parks and more, 6 day pass = 6 days of water parks and more, etc…).
Now, Disney does require you to purchase a park hopper in order to add the “Plus” feature, so you could calculate the up-charge from the base non-hopping pass. Disney charges $75 to upgrade from a 1-park per day pass to a park hopper, so if you were to compare a 5 day non-park hopper ($370) to a 5-day park hopper plus ($460), it’s technically a $90 up-charge. However, in addition to guests getting 5 theme park days, they also receive 5 water park days for that $90 ($18/day). Since the hopping and plus options are flat fees, the per day costs decrease the more days you purchase, meaning a 10-day park hopper plus pass aggregates to $9 per water park day (though I don’t know anyone who actually uses 10 theme park days and 10 water park days at WDW, and if you were to, you’d probably be better off with an AP), while a 3-day park-hopper plus aggregates to $30 per water park day.

Still, the $40 Universal is charging to add a single day at Volcano Bay to a park to park pass is a bit pricey for a single water park option, whereas WDW offers 2 different water parks, a golf course, Wide World of Sports, and 2 mini-golf courses available for your “plus” admissions.
FWIW, we typically use park hoppers when we visit WDW, though we are finding it less valuable as parks get more crowded (can’t “complete” most parks in a half day anymore). It’s nice to have the flexibility to hop away from an overcrowded park and be able to make dining reservations in different parks in a single day, but now that all of the parks are crowded all the time there are fewer and fewer reasons to park hop.
