This is a follow-on question to the OP's original statement about arriving at the AA ticket desk at YYZ, and waiting around until lunch for the RTW ticket to issue. I'm going to be picking up my DONE5 at YYZ next weekend and had been told that I could have the ticket ready for me to pick up (i.e., just show up and pay). One difference is that, although my ticket is 20 segments, only 15 of those are flown, which apparently means that it's a paper PRINTED ticket, rather than handwritten. Would that be the difference between the OP's situation? We're flying into YYZ and then flying out of BUF, so that we can spend two days at Niagara Falls (this is how I convinced my wife to fly to Canada to purchase a plane ticket), and I'd prefer not to waste too much of the day hanging around the airport. Thanks.
