Yes you do.
We did this last year as part of a package and had to go to the ticket place before entering the park on our first day. After that is was business as usual
Can the concierge of your Disney Resort enter /check your passports, instead of lining up outside the park?

You have to either go to a park or Disney Springs. Expect a slight delay if you activate them at the park before you enter. A slight issue if you like to be with the rope drop crowd. We usually go to Disney Springs the first day anyway. I learned that it reduces my wife's shopping in the parks so we can focus on attractions.
I just read a report from another thread here that says their tickets were automatically ready when they picked them up at the resort. No need to activate. So maybe the policy changed.

Where in Disney Springs do you go?
We plan on going to Disney Spring on our arrival day. We don't use our tickets on arrival day. We will have our passports will us. i don't want to carry our passports around the parks the next day.
I called and asked on Thursday and the lady said because I booked a package I did not need to activate the tickets before I can use them. She did say if I had bought the tickets separate I would still have to activate them. I really happy about that because I'd be nervous all day I'd loose the passports or that guest services would take a really long time.
I just returned Monday. We had a package with room, dining plan and Canadian 7-day parkhopper ticket for my travel companion and I had an annual pass activated in the fall. My travel companion still had to visit guest relations to show her passport and activate the pass. It can't be done at the resort, must be at a park or Disney Springs.
