They’ll work seamlessly as is. Any MB attached to your MDE account and activated will work. After about two years the internal battery will die and on-ride photos and interactions won’t work any more, but the MB will still work for touch points (room/park entry, room charges at stores, etc…)

You don't have to do anything at all. Nothing gets linked to your band. Everything is linked to your profile. As long as your band is ALSO linked to your profile, it will work.

I believe that MDE has a link for your magicbands. I reused mine for my trip last December.

As long as they are active in your My Disney Experience you don't need to do anything.
You'd just go to "magic bands and cards" to see that they say active.
Everything is LINKED to your account nothing is actually "loaded onto" anything.

Just chiming in to "second" all of the above.
We visited in August, using sets of Magicbands from trips in 2016 and 2018 that were still active and linked to my MDE account. We had no problems (and my 2018 MagicBand batteries were even still working for things like ride photos)!

THANK YOU ALL! HB is having kittens not understanding the technology behind it .(Me? I don't either but accept how easy everyone says it is) Don't even want to think about THE GENIE
If you've already gone with magic bands and FP+ then your next trip should not be too overwhelming.
You just use the same bands and Genie+/LL is essentially paid FP+. You'll be fine!

You may want to stop by the front desk and make sure your park passes are “activated”.
We used our Feb 2020 Magic Bands for our Sep 2021 trip and we weren’t allowed into the park after being assured it will work the same way as described above (park passes weren’t “activated” as we were told by Guest Services). Guest services fixed it real quick but it still was a hitch in the giddy-up.
Everything else worked just fine though.

You can also check and change the status of any old MagicBands or cards in the My Disney Experience website. Click on My MagicBands and Cards in the drop-down menu after you log on.
