Hello!
I'm aware that this topic has been discussed before but I've been researching for many days and can't seem to get my question(s) answered. I've been trying to find answers all around but here it goes...
1) I've booked 2 hotel only reservations at Disney's Pop Century Resort for 3 adults in a Standard Room on Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 8:45 AM and 8:52 AM PST for check in on Sunday, January 12, 2014 and check out on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 and then check in again on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 and check out on Saturday, January 18, 2014 on travelocity.com (the reason it's 2 reservations is because I wasn't able to use 2 different credit cards on 1 reservation). I have also already linked both of the reservations (the same day I booked it) on my disney experience account and booked the magical express airport service (round trip) the next day and have already received the booklet, vouchers, luggage tags, etc.. A customer service representative at disney magical express service was able to combine both of the reservations together so that I would receive only 1 booklet to make everything easier for the transportation part. The hotel reservation can't be combined together but a representative at disney reservations customer service has noted everything on my reservation regarding that I have 2 reservations (all I need to do is check in, check out, check in again, and then check out; no big deal for us, will just do it early morning and the representative also said that I've seen many people do 2 or more reservations for a consecutive stay) and added all of my notes/requests such as early check in, to have a refrigerator in the room (I hope they all will be working by then; please let me know if anyone has info about this), highest floor possible, lake or pool view, close to bus stop/front desk/food court area, and non-smoking room. Just not sure which section I should stay at (50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s; any suggestions, opinions, comments, etc... would be appreciated.)
2) I've also booked 3 adult disney world tickets (5 days base ticket - one park per day; received a great offer/deal where it said buy 3 days and get 2 days free) on orbitz.com on September 2, 2013 but can't get that linked onto my disney experience account (please help out if anyone knows how to get it linked if booked on a third party website) and I have already called disney customer service including the IT/online services department and they told me that third party bookings for disney tickets can't be linked until the voucher is redeemed physically at the park and then guest services can then help me link it from there and then I can make fastpass selections (I don't know if that is true).
3) I logged onto my disney experience account now and it says "65 days to go" and it also shows/says:

Any idea if my family and I will be getting magic bands to use for our stay so we can customize it, choose our colors, get the name imprinted, etc...? I will use the online check in service as soon as I'm able to for both reservations as soon as it shows 60 more days to go/60 days prior to check in. I know that I can't choose fastpass + selections because of course my disney tickets are not linked yet (I don't know if that is true; please correct me if that is false information) but my family and I are really anxious to know if we will get and can use magicbands. This is our first disneyworld trip, will be celebrating our 25th anniversary, and will be our first time staying on a disney property. We are in Simi Valley, CA. I've just been researching many things to make our stay and vacation as fun, smooth, and stress free as possible. Any information, suggestions, tips, comments, opinions, etc... would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much and I hope you have a great day! Hope to hear from people soon haha!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
