Welcome to planDisney, Susan! I'm so glad to be able to answer a question for a fellow Texan today. What a fun Disney find! It's always exciting to come across some old
MagicBands and wonder if there's still some Disney magic left on them.
The first thing to know is that MagicBands themselves are not actually
tickets, and nothing is stored on them directly. They link to the active tickets in your
My Disney Experience account! Your best bet for knowing if you still have admission available to use is to check the Ticket & Passes section of My Disney Experience to see if your tickets are still active and how many days, if any, are left.
Most date-based Walt Disney World tickets expire within a few days to weeks of being used for the first time, but there are certain older non-expiring tickets that might still be valid. This is pretty uncommon, but if your tickets fall into that category, you may still be able to use them! If you don't see any ticket details in the app, I recommend
calling the hotline for Existing Tickets, and a Cast Member can answer any questions you might have about tickets and admission.
I hope this answers your question, Susan, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation!
