This probably been asked before. We have Magic bands from 2017. Can we still use them for our trip this May? Should we get new ones?

If you are staying at a WDW resort, you CAN get new MBs for no charge (and I would do so.)
If you are not staying at a WDW resort, you could buy new MBs (but, that would not really be necessary.)

I'm doing a split stay. One night at All stars resort amd the rest of our stay at Shades of Green. Can i still get free bands at all star resort?
Yes you can, youycan even customize them and they will mail them to you (unless you are international, then you pick them up when you arrive).

Has anyone ever figured out how long MBs last? I have so many and would like to use the ones from November 2018. Will they still work?

For the uses when you TOUCH the MB to the readers, the MBs can last more or less “forever.”
The uses that sense the MBs at a distance can last 2-4 years, give or take.
Even the “distance” uses for MBs from Nov. 2018 should work well for the next year or more.

You can still use them.
They will still work for any touch points.
The long range battery may be dead so there may be certain features such as getting photos/videos from attractions that do not have a touch point like 7DMT or FEA.
If everyone will be touring the parks together you could always buy ONE new magic band and link it to someone.
As long as the old ones are linked to MDE and the tickets are linked to MDE then there is nothing further that needs to be done for the magic band to access the ticket media.
