While it's true that MagicBands are tied to users defined in your account, I didn't want to bother with having to have tickets prioritized and hope that the system took the entitlement from the right ticket. So what we did for my BF who has one day left on a no-expire ticket when we decided to buy APs was create another instance of him in the account. The no-expire ticket is tied to the original version of him and the AP is tied to the new version of him. The MagicBands tied to the old version of him can only be used to access that no-expire ticket right now, since that's the only ticket tied to that person. The MagicBands that have since been tied to the new version of him can access the currently active AP. And there's no chance using one of the newer MagicBands tied to that second person will accidentally take the entitlement from that old no-expire ticket. Long story all to say that if you want to keep things separate, you can do so by creating a second version of each member of your party, link the new 5-day tickets to those new members of your party, link new MagicBands to those new members of your party, and just use those new bands to access the 5-day tickets.
