You definitely will be able to use them for anything that requires you to tap in (entry to parks, FP etc), however the long range function might not work any more. There is a battery for that which they estimate to last about 2 years. That would be for things like ride photos (7DMT) where there’s no tap point at the end of the ride to claim the photo, and the rides like Small World where there’s interaction at the end with your name on the flowers. If those things aren’t important, then no worries. If they are you might want to pick up one new one for someone who will go on all the rides, and that should get most of the photos or videos if you’re all in the same ride vehicle.

Last summer we used our antique magic bands that we got in 2015 without any problems!

We found by year 3 the magic bands didn't pick up ride photos automatically (so no videos). Still fine for everything else.

Relaxing at the Grand Floridian

I'm interested in this as we went in 2017 and still have our Magic Bands. The rest of our party do not so will be buying them at MCO when we go in April.
Due to losing our original TC flights and rebooking in panics, there was some confusion and OH and I go out on a different flight to the rest of the family, and will arrive an hour or so later. They could use the extra time to buy their bands, as we have ours. However, I am in two minds as we do want the ride photos. Is it possible to put new batteries in?! |

No, the battery can’t be replaced.
If your memory maker and MDE are linked with the others in your party, and if you’ll be riding with them most of the time then you could get the photos associated with their bands
