Apologies if this has been covered. I read somewhere that the premier won't go on sale early for launch day. So, tomorrow is the day people could buy lightning lanes. So for the folk who would buy the premier, given that they said that there are very limited quantities, those folks either...

Thanks again. I just sent it my husband. I may just try this. . .
