I've beaten the first level, and I've had an opportunity to move around the hub area, and I see that there are bonus levels I could walk into if I had the right characters, but it doesn't say I have to have the level packs. Could I just put in Bart and play the Simpsons level, or is there also new bonus level somewhere that requires the homer level pack?
Can a fun pack unlock the level

Just to show that writing down your problem makes you think about things a bit more, and even more importantly, moving from game to laptop makes you look at the portal pad as you look between screens.
The answer was literally staring me in the face. The portal on the table in front of had changed from its normal setting of all white pads, and now had three colours on it, moving the Benny minifig from the green pad to a blue or red pad made new walkable squares appear near him ingame in the formerly transparent blue or red outlined areas.
I spoke with a guy at the LEGO store, and he admitted he didn't really know, but he thought it was a good idea to put the character on the toy pad. So I opened up the level pack, and I noticed that in the box there was an instruction booklet, and the booklet only included instructions for the character. The booklet stated that the gadget and the vehicle had to be built in game.
I then placed the character on the center part of the game pad while I was in the hub area, and the character showed up. Then, when I jumped into the pad portal in the game, I had the option of continuing the story, or playing the level specific to the character. While in that level, I was able to build the gadget and the vehicle and assign them to their bases.

There are three different types of levels.
The main storyline of the game. This is started when a new game is started, and after the first little bit, the heroes make it to the hub area (called Vorton). The storyline is continued by jumping through the portal on the pad in the game. This generally follows WildStyle, Batman and Gandalf's adventures but you can play using any characters that you own.
In the game's hub world, on the floor above the portal pad (accessible from the elevator to the left of the portal pad), there are Adventure Worlds, which are open-world bonus levels for each universe (DC, Simpsons, Portal, Jurassic World...), and those levels require any character from that franchise, be it fun pack, level pack or team pack.
The levels from the Level Packs are accessed by having the character on the pad (in any of the positions), then jumping through the portal. At this point the game gives you the option of continuing the story, or playing the level from the level pack.
