I agree with everything stated above. The CMs do not just hand out the bracelets willy-nilly. In my experience during my week there earlier this month, the CMs themselves placed the bracelet on each person, and did not just hand them out. We were 6 in our group, one of them my 2.5 year old daughter who didn't have a room key/ticket because she's under 3. On our first night at a park, MGM, I was holding all of the keys, and I held them out and a CM took them from me and counted 5 out loud, then pointed to each of us counting 5 out loud, and only then did she begin putting the bracelets on us. That same night, the CM also braceleted my daughter just in case a ride/attraction CM might question her age. The next night, my wife mildly protested when a CM refused to put a bracelet on our daughter, but the CM very nicely explained that everyone will know it's OK for her to be on rides during EMH because she is with us, that there's zero chance WE were staying at a Disney resort but our daughter was not. Made sense, and we had NO problems.
