Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

I purchased an annual pass and have it linked to my MDE. Will I need to stop at guest services before going into the park for the first time or can I just scan in with my magic band?

I’d probably want a physical pass at some point, but hoping to avoid having to wait in the early morning guest service line if possible.

I don’t find my physical card very useful. When making purchases (getting the AP 20% discount or the 10% at restaurants) they always ask to see it in MDE because it has the expiration date, where as the physical card doesn’t.

Planning info:
We are 4 adults (me/DH/DD/SIL) and 1 child (7yo LittleGuy) staying in 2 rooms at ASMovies, starting next week. DD is the lead guest on her room (with SIL and LG), I am the lead on my room (with DH), but both reservations were made with my BounceBack offer. DD has "shared" her planning on MyDisneyExperience as I can see everyone on MY MDE account, all our meal reservations, etc. All 4 adults have activated magic bands from prior trips- but DH/mine are in my MDE account and DD/SIL's are in her MDE account. We bought a new band for LG (which is still in the box). My question is about tickets and Magic Bands (sigh).

I bought park passes for DD/SIL/LG thru Maple Leaf tickets and the "media" was sent to my email. Can I link these directly to their magic bands, or do I need to send the info to DD and have her link them via her account? ALSO... what the heck do I need to do to make the LG's magic band work? We won't have photopass and more than likely won't do any of the Lightning Lane stuff (although SIL just told me they might LL for Tron and FoP). LG's magic band came with some sort of cable... do we need to use that, or will his band just "work" for room door and tapstyles like ours do?

Talk to me like I am a 2 year old. I don't have a cell phone and am somewhat techno-stupid, so all of this is a challenge for me. Sigh. I used to be the person everyone came to for help and info when planning their trips, but now, due to all the tech-stuff, I can barely manage my OWN trip!

I'm needing to purchase tickets for our trip coming up in 3 weeks. Is there any advantage to buying tickets directly from WDW, rather than something like Undercover Tourist? Also....I remember years ago we would get a package in the mail before our trip. Of course, that's when they mailed out free magic bands, but it also had luggage tags, etc. Will we get those with just a room only booking?
