I've read on here that they are putting out new magic bands. Do the old ones still work? Is there any difference in the function? I already have two from my last trip and I hate to fill up the landfills with old, unused magic bands.

As far as I know the older models still work. The Disney Store is still selling the older style custom models so I don't see why your old ones would not work. Down the line they may fully transition over to the new "puck' style band, but it is too new now I believe.
My understanding is the tech is the same, new ones will just add more options on how they can be worn and decorated.
Your old ones will work until you deactivate them. I have a new one. It's flatter, the face is oval and it's less awkward when scanning. I wore it last week and I like it better, and so do the CMs at stores. When the scanners go down, they have to take the bands and key in the number printed on the underside of the band. On the old ones, the numbers are very hard to see. They are much bigger and easier to read on the new bands.
Thank you everyone.
