Will Disney replace a MagicBand battery?

Since your MagicBand is five years old, you may find that you do not have access to all the MagicBand benefits, such as Disney PhotoPass videos and select Disney PhotoPass attraction photos. Unfortunately, MagicBands are equipped with a single-use battery that cannot be replaced.

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.

While you can't replace the batteries in your MagicBand, I can say that they do last a very long time. I have bands in my travel bag that are at least 4 years old! If you find that a band you have linked to your account doesn't work, you can always go into your My Disney Experience account and remove it.

Recycle. Disney makes it very easy to recycle your used Magic Bands. Simply go to any front desk or guest relations center and ask them to recycle your used bands. You can also recycle them at home.

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.

You can look in the my Disney experience app at your past bands and if they are active, but yes you can still use them.

Under all of your MagicBands you are going to see the option to Activate/Deactivate depending on the status and the option to Report Lost. If your MagicBand is currently deactivated, you'll just select the Activate button and it will be good to go.
