Paper tickets still needed?

We are at Disneyland tomorrow and Disneysea on Wednesday. I managed to leave all my printed itineraries and tickets at home. We had already added everyone’s tickets to the app and to a planning group. Do I need to go find a printer tonight? There’s a “scan ticket” function in the app. (I’m finding TDR website faq on this rather confusing.) (And I do have pdfs saved into iCloud). Thanks.
 
Woah, so confusing. We purchased our tickets from Klook. The tickets say paper tickets are not accepted, only smartphone displays. The TDR Explorer says paper copies of Klook tickets work at the gates and are useful. We scanned them all into the app already and I sent everyone their own ticket in PDF. Just figured out we probably need to remove my husband from the group because he will arrive later than the rest of us (TDR website says we won’t be allowed to enter if all members of the party are not present), so I’ll need his QR code later to re-add him. Hotel is printing for us . . . .

Is that true about groups? 3/4 of us will arrive at opening. Husband will arrive by 10 am. I assumed he’d miss any initial priority or standby passes, but do I really have to take him out of the group? TDR website made it seem like the first person would scan everyone in but that we’d be turned away if not everyone in the group was there.
 
It's best to have everyone's tickets printed out. You can scan printed tickets from Klook when entering the park and that's actually my preferred way of doing it since smartphone displays are sometimes not bright enough or have other issues.

Historically, you could not scan a ticket from Klook into the app until your ticket was used to enter the park so it was vital to have it available on a second screen or via a paper ticket. This changed in an app update fairly recently so if you appropriately scanned your ticket into the app, you should be able to display your ticket when you enter the park.

You do not need to remove your husband from the group. When doing anything in the park such as getting standby pass, only tickets that have been used to enter the park can be selected so you can have 4 tickets linked to an account but only use 3 of the tickets to obtain standby pass. Obviously, when your husband enters, he likely won't be able to obtain a standby pass for the same time.

It's best to have every single person hold onto their own ticket and scan themselves in so you can be sure that nobody accidentally scans your husband's ticket. It's actually kinda annoying when someone inexperienced fiddles around with scanning multiple tickets on their phone rather than have each person scan themselves because that holds up the line.
 
I did not purchase from klook but sounds like as long as your tickets are in your app with a QR code, you should be fine. I scanned my vacation package ticket and the paper ticket I purchased at the hotel counter into my app and never needed the paper version. I never saw anyone using a paper ticket in my four park days entering the parks either, everyone had them on their phones (since they need to be on your phone to make passes as soon as you enter the park).
