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?

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.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.
