Last trip was 2014 September, next trip scheduled for April 2016. Do we use old magic bands from prior trip or will we get new ones? Thanks!

IF you are staying on site you will definitely be offered new bands. The old bands will definitely work but you will need to check to make sure that they are "active" in your MDE account.

The old bands may not work. Supposedly the battery is only good for a year and it'll be about 18 months on these. So they might work, but chances are you should get a new one to be sure.

Chris's post made me think of one other thing. Although as a pass holder I complain about all the band I get, when I compare my old bands to the new ones, the old bands are noticeably grungy especially the kids. I missed that your bands are from 2014. In that case I would definitely get the new ones.
