disney gurus, help! this will seem like a really stupid question, so i apologize.
okay, so i am in charge of purchasing tickets and making dining reservations for our trip. fine, except i have no idea wtf i am doing. my father gave me the info i needed to use the dvc site and the my disney experience site. i see our reservation, and i obliged all magic band color requests. now, it's time for tickets.
do tickets i purchase automatically go to our magic bands? they want to mail me the tickets (i have to choose shipping at checkout) but we have magic bands with our reservation so this makes no sense to me. the magic bands have not shipped yet.
i have searched blogs but it all is about purchasing magic bands which we don't need to do. if there is a disney forum post somewhere to link me to, that's fine too.

They will mail you the tickets and then you will link the tickets in MDE using the code on the back and assign each ticket to the correct person in MDE. Once they are assigned to the bands in MDE you *should* not need the physical tickets, but I took ours with us to the park on the first day just in case we had problems with our bands (we did not).
Magic bands won't ship until 30 days before your stay.
In MDE you will go to "My Reservations and Tickets" ==> "Link Tickets" ==> enter the confirmation codes ==> assign ticket to each person that has a magic band.
I did not have that experience at all. I bought the hotel and tickets together and never got anything but the Magic Bands. They worked fine at the parks without ever having to link anything. I did book only a few weeks before we went, so I am not sure if that is why.

You bought a package. It's different when you use DVC or purchase separately. Make sure your tickets & DVC are linked on your MDE well before your FP plus window opens up. Check out wdwprepschool for important planning dates.

I buy our tickets through disney and they hook them to my MDE. We are DVC owners. They go to your bands then automatically then since you'll be staying on property
