Anyway, it sounds like a fun perk for those of us with AP's

Originally Posted By Darkbeer There is NO requirement to Pre-Register, but based on what I know, Pre-Registering will speed up the process, as you will need to go to the Main Ticket Booths. Everyone will need some sort of Government issued ID, or a CERTIFIED Birth Certificate (under 18) to get the free ticket, but you don't need to do anything in advance (officially).
