You don't need to wait until you arrive to get tickets. There are some websites where you can order tickets in advance. The longest lines are for ticket sales, not entry, so you'll save lots of time. Do a quick Google search and I'm sure you'll find them. I blitzed through the Accademia pretty quick because I primarily wanted to see David. I'd get tickets for both in advance.
