Finally I made it through all the postings!
To address the question about the fee with getting your tickets, I wanted to put in my recent experience. I went online as an AP and purchased our tickets for Sept 28th and didn't pay anything extra and was e-mailed the tickets. But then I did this on the 10th so I'm not sure if the date being after the 9th had anything to do with it. Sometimes the Disney experience is a little inconsistent, especially with information specifics. I think that is where the DIS boards come in!

Later,
Sue
