Do any of you have experience with using old magicbands? Our bands are about 2 years old and we are staying offsite so we won't be sent new ones for this trip. I know they will work for park entry with the rfid but I am concerned about ride photos and that sort of thing.
Lovely! Will keep an eye out for a special 50th one then.yes, you can buy more MagicBands for your second booking and it won’t affect the first; I just did so on my current trip and now have two sets of MagicBands
folks have noticed the pricing for 2021+ arrivals is now +5 USD compared to 2020 arrivals; not a tremendous change but good to know
If your order is all solid colors, then they seem to ship those about 3-4 weeks before your check-in date. If you have at least one premium band, then they will ship about two weeks after the order is submitted.
Without reading through this whole thread, I want to be sure I'm understanding about magic bands. Our trip is scheduled for May, 2021. I know free solid color magic bands are being discontinued for onsite resort guests in 2021. We will need 4 bands. If I go ahead and order 1 premium band now, along with 3 solid color (free) bands, are the solid bands still FREE even though the trip is in 2021? Or would I have to pay for the solid color bands? Will all the bands ship now instead of shipping just before our trip?

What happens if you cancel your stay after your MB ship? My MBs are here, but our November trip isn't looking likely.
Thank you. Will that affect our refund? We got the complimentary solid colors, if that matters.Nothing.
The bands are yours. They will act just like any and all bands on your MDE account - completely interchangeable and usable on any future trip.

The Shop Disney site has the limited edition Black Widow band back on their page. Also 2 baby Yoda bands.
So glad I purchased mine from eBay.They have the Black Widow one on the Shop Disney site, but when you go to check out you get an "out of stock, please select another" message.
I haven't personally used an older MagicBand but I've read in several places (Disney websites and elsewhere) that the battery powering the active portion of the MagicBand may be drained within 2-3 years (used for things like the Seven Dwarves Mine Train pictures); anything you touch Mickey to Mickey is the passive portion of the MagicBand so will work indefinitely (until they change technologies) like you mentioned
