Probably really dumb question but how do I get a “plastic card” for each of my party? I purchased everything online. I know you can use the phone but can’t I opt to get an old school plastic card as our passes?

Yes. Just ask at the gate at the first park you enter, or visit a ticket booth or Guest Relations. If you’re staying at a Disney resort, the front desk can give you Key to the World cards that will be room keys as well as tickets.
Edited to add, depending on size of your party, the ticket booth would probably be more efficient, if you’re not staying at a Disney resort. Trying to get ticket cards at the tapstile could cause a backup of other guests trying to enter.

Yea, when you purchase online you usually get a voucher. If you go to the ticket booths as you enter any park you show them the voucher and ask for the card and they will easily take care of that. It sometimes takes a few minutes but you don't want to be holding up a crowd at the actual entrance itself. That can be very stressful.

If you purchase online from Disney, you’ll need to show the confirmation code or the tickets in MDE.
 

When I did this I waited in a line at the ticket booth to get my actual ticket and they redirected me to leave the line and go straight to the tapstile. Doing it at the tapstile worked great and I had wished I had gone straight there.

Thanks for asking. I’ll be doing the same.

That's what I meant by voucher. You have directions to pick up your tickets at the ticket booths or guest services when you get there. What items can currently be reserved can be reserved by phone, maybe even online, I'm not sure about that right now. The last time I bought them was in 2019 and I had set up parks and Fastpass+ before I got there and got my plastic ticket at the ticket booth.

As much as I like magic bands, old school plastic cards, are still easy to do everything in WDW.

I fail to understand why anyone would think that paying extra for something that is just as easy to do with a simple plastic card. Slip the ticket in your pocket or get a lanyard (we all probably have one laying around). It is just as easy to reach in your pocket to retrieve it than to raise your arm to the readers especially if the reader is on the opposite side of your magic band. There are so many things that I just don't understand.

Yep, different strokes for different folks! I often don’t have a pocket in my clothes, and when I do, if there’s no zipper on the pocket, I worry about the card falling out. I’ve worn a lanyard, and that works okay, but I prefer a MB with the Mickey turned to the side of my wrist so it’s easy to tap the reader with my left wrist while I scan with my right hand. In January my watch wouldn’t work as a MB, so I had a MB puck in a slider on the band, and I think I liked that best of all - the MB puck was on the side easy to tap, and the watch was toward the other side, easy to read!

Right, to each his own. I see no benefit, you do. In all my thirty nine years of going to a Disney Park the plastic (before that paper) ticket has always been in my pocket, but until FP we never really needed it except to get into the park. Later it was paper Fastpasses and in even with that I never lost a FP or a ticket. So to me it's just not worth the expense.
We got our plastic cards at the desk at our hotel.
I never stay onsite, so I wasn't aware of that, but if someone is staying onsite, then that is another option.
