We will be renting a car for the first time. Can we head straight to the park without checking in? If so, how will the parking work? Would we just have to scan our Magic Bands?
 
They're not giving out paper parking passes at the resorts any more anyway. They scan your MB as you get to the booths where you would pay to park. And those scanners aren't very good...we had trouble multiple times getting them to read. One time, the guy just gave up and waved us through. We didn't have any other issues with the MBs, so I'm assuming it was those scanners that were the problem.
 
We were given paper parking pass when we checked in at SSR on Sunday the 17th. Paper only at DVC?

Do you have an AP (or pre-purchased tickets) or are your tickets part of your package? If they are a part of your package you must check into your resort before going into the parks. If you bought your tickets independently of your resort reservation and put them on your MB then you are able to go into the parks without checking into the resort.
 
We received a paper pass when we checked in to POR last Friday. So they are still using them. However, on our way to check in we accidentally turned in to POFQ and the guard scanned DH's band before telling us how to get to POR check-in.

Sorry, but that's no longer true. With the new "by-pass the front desk" option, as long as you complete the advanced on line check-in (put a credit card in, and set up a pin, etc.), there is no need to check in at the resort before heading to a park. Even the dining plan will be active.

I stayed at CBR from May 21-24 and did NOT receive a paper parking pass. So, they are not still using them everywhere.
 
We stayed at BCV last month and while we did not get a parking pass from the guard, we did go to the front desk and requested one. It is easier going through the MK gate with a paper pass.
