Will a 5 year old MagicBand work?

According to my experience, the battery inside the MagicBand is designed to last for up to two years or more, so you can use your MagicBand for more than one Walt Disney World vacation. In your case, the battery in your MagicBand is 5-6 years old, so it might not be functional.

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.
