Can I add the water parks and Christmas party tickets when we arrive?

We are planning a trip in November. DD would like to go to Blizzard Beach and the Christmas Party. Would I be able to add these once we arrive or even at the 45 day mark?
I cannot afford to add both of them right now.

If you can, I'd wait until you got there. Nov can be hit or miss for water park days, IMO.

I've done more hot tub days than pool days that time of year. FWIW.

I would wait on the water park til I got there but I would get the party tickets ahead of time. A lot of parties sold out last year so if it is something you are really set on doing, I wouldn't take a chance on being shut out.

I agree with this. Parties can (and often do) sell out in advance. Buy ahead of time if it's important to you to attend.

But the weather can be very unpredictable in November, so it's a good idea to hold off on the waterpark add-on until you know if you'll be able to use it. One year in October, we pre-purchased the waterpark option, and never used it once. What a waste of money! So now I always wait.

How soon in advance would you order party tickets?
What if it rains? Not like a little, but downpour/thunderstorm?

If you are going to the first party be sure to get your tickets ASAP. That is Jersey week and I think it always sells out. We already have our tickets.
