If you have a MagicBand from a previous trip to Walt Disney World, you will be able to use it even after the newer model has been released. You'll be able to use older MagicBands to enter the theme parks, pay for merchandise and dining, and for Disney PhotoPass.

If they are used they are useless. They can't be linked to another account once already linked. The only purpose would be if you wanted the band design, and then you'd still have to purchase a new band in order to get a new puck to switch out. You're better off just buying direct from Disney.

Just make sure they're active. One thing thats a slight bummer is cannot use them to buy points at resort arcades but thats life. They will work for purchases and tapping into rides. But they won't link the ride photos that don't have a touch point.

REUSE THEM If you've customized one of your bands or grown partial to a special edition band you purchased, you can reuse a band from a previous trip. Generally, the battery life of MagicBands is between 2-5 years, though the MagicBand+ may last longer because they are rechargeable.

However, even if the long-range battery is no longer working, your MagicBand should still work for any Mickey to Mickey touchpoints, such as entrance tapstyles, Lightning Lane entrances, unlocking the door to your Disney Resort Hotel room, or point of sale terminals when charging purchases to your hotel room folio.

My 4 and 2 year old are currently wearing magic bangs and love them. My 4 year old runs to open the door to the room and the 2 year old “checks in” to every ride and park entrance. For $10/$20, it's worth it.
