Where to get Old Magic Bands Checked?

[choover2576]

We have 6 year old Magic Bands linked and showing as active on my MDE. I'd like to check to see if they will let us in the tap styles before our park day. We are staying at Dolphin and I wondered if there is a Guest Services booth near the International Gateway to have them checked? My other thought is if they aren't working we could ask for Key to the Kingdom card. We have old smartphones and don't want to have to use them for entry or Lighting Lanes. TIA!

If they show and say active they will work for anything you tap.
Long range battery for things like ride photos where there is no where to tap they may not work at this point but in general if you have your bluetooth on on your phone it will capture them in the app.

They should still work. I have an old original style magic band. It still works, even though I have newer bands.

Is it possible to change the battery in a magic band?

I haven't heard of any method of checking to see if they will work for ride photos, other than just trying it.

No.

Thanks, I might try on an old one.

And if, for whatever reason, they do stop working before you get to the WDW tap style, have no fear! They'll call for a manager, who'll give you a Key to the World card within a few seconds, and you'll be on your way! Happened to us (well, actually DH accidentally grabbed one of my old MBs at the last minute, thinking it was his but he got the dreaded blue light when he went to use it)
