New FD Bounceback is out

[pooch]

The reason why I asked is because Disney keeps changing requirements and limiting perks and I'm wondering when this perk of getting FD even if you book your 1st day on last day will last.

Hopefully til I am done wanting Free Dining!!!!

Ok, now I need opinions. I think I can make this work to get the BB now the question is should I? I have been toying with the week before or after Labor Day next year and both are included in the BounceBack. But the dates are still very soft as I am coordinating with my son & his family too. DDIL thinks it'll be fine but one never knows this far out. And SWA flight schedule wont be out til like February!

BUT, this does lock in Free Dining (the only way DH will go!) without waiting for the feeding frenzy that accompanies the General Public release, assuming there will be one. And I assume resort choices will be better.

Somebody make a decision for me!!!!!

Do it. We are and will in three weeks book next year's BB. We don't fret over flights. I'd hitchhike to get free dining.

I'm gonna have the same predicament. Plus I have to send my son unaccompanied minor to a different city so I can only hope the timing is right or I'll be going to memphis too, lol. I'd say book and if you have trouble with flights you can try to adjust it later. November 1st is when they post the flights up to June 2nd so that might help a little bit.

Maybe, but I am hoping that I can get not only Free Dining but Free Flying too, for 7 of us with SWA points. And, because of my DD's employment, Free US/IOA and Free SeaWorld. I call it "creatively frugal"!! Anyway, discussed it with DH and decided to wait until plans firm up a little more and I'm ok with that. I've always been good at this and I'm confident it'll work out fine.

Hope you all get what you want!!

So does anyone know which resorts are excluded on the BB offer?? I am planning on booking a BB and trying to do the math.

I don't remember where I found it but some disney travel related site listed the following as excluded, maybe someone can confirm:

AS Movies
FW Campsites
PO French Quarter
PO Riverside (for Dec 8-Dec 20 only)
AoA Mermaid
Monorail Villas

 

[aebeauregard]

By the way it was inside the magic site I found the info. Not positive if it's accurate. That is what i've been basing my research on too.

So what are the chances of these BB FD dates being open to the public - historically are they they same dates and when do they typically release? We are booked for June 3 2017 for 7 nights and I would love to score FD!!!

Here now and booked a FD BB for BC for August 2017! CR (GW), BC, YC, and BWI all about same price. Poly only had TPV or CL left and was more. Loved BWI but trying BC next time!

She did also offer me the RO discount for the remainder of 2016 dates but those do not work for us. And she said I could book as many BB offers I want for different dates.

Wondering, if I book Contemporary Dec. 19 - 26, 2017 would I qualify for Free Dining for my entire stay??

Does anyone know the policy about adding/deleting guests who are coming with you? We're without a question booking a bounce back for when we go next month but it's still up in the air whether or not my parents and sister are going too for next year.

you can book one BB room for each adult in your room this year. the adult listed as the lead guest in each BB room has to remain as the lead person in that room next year.

But other than the lead guest, you can add, change and delete people in each room. Additionally, you can change the dates as long as the arrival still falls within the BB offer, and there is availability.

Thank you! Yes I knew about the op comment.

I am so excited to have the Bb offered. We are going this Labor Day with free dining. I hope to book the bb for the same time next year!

I am wondering if this offer would be at the vacation club rooms. My brother in law will be down there next week staying at WL VC I wonder if he could book a vacation for us?

Thanks
