Are MagicBands worth it?
It's not entirely necessary. Although MagicBands can make your park experience a touch (or tap) easier and can provide some unique experiences, you can function just fine in the park without one. You can still enter the park by scanning a physical ticket or using your Disney app on a mobile phone, for example.
Do old MagicBands still work at Disneyland?

There are no instructions on how to change the battery as the units were intended to last about 24 months.
