Doge's Palace Reservation

If I visit the Doge's Palace and don't take the Secret Itinerary Tour, do I still need to make reservations ahead of time? If I book online at http://www.alata.it/eng/musei/musei.asp they charge me now plus a service fee. Should I wait to book the Doge' Palace until I arrive in Venice in October? I know I can buy a ticket in a supposedly shorter line at the Correr Museum.

I followed Rick Steves's advice and got a museum PASS. In my case, at Burano Lace Museum because of the order of visit I chose. After using the pass at Burano and Murano museums, I walked up to the turnstyle at Doge's Palace and walked in with no reservations.

Hi, book6783. Just wondering when you'll be in Venice. I arrive on Oct. 25 and depart on the 28th. If you're there at the same time, would you like to meet up for a drink/dinner? I'll be in Florence Oct. 20-25, as well.
