New FD Bounceback is out

[maleficent83]

I was writing while he was telling me the dates so he could well have said the 30th. When your only half listening the 3rd and the 30th sound very similar. Don't take that date as gospel, it could be wrong.

Oh I'm not, just curious. I am going Tuesday and booking a bounce back for next July. But going back with dh for business in October, if may 3 was accurate I am going that week and would book another lol.

Let us know what you find out. First hand information is the best!

Ok I have another question that I just thought about, my stay next week is technically 2 reservations. I booked through cheap tickets and then needed to add a night. I forgot cheap tickets and orbits are now owned by Expedia and charge a fee to cancel. I wanted to cancel and rebook adding the night since you can't just add a night through those websites. So I just booked that night separately. So I have 2 separate reservations this week at the same resort. I was hoping to just stay in the room. Will I be able to book 2 bounce backs? My next stay is in October and was thinking of booking another bounce back then. But if I could get them both out of the way this week since the end of this bounce back could be end of September or end of October. It would make me feel better to get it out of the way lol.

One last question, you can no longer change a bounce back correct? like say i book for next may for 2 weeks, and get my sons baseball schedule in the spring, i at that time won't be able to drop days correct? without losing the free dining?

So I know if you are an AP holder you can ask them to seperate the park tickets from the bands upon check in and then use those 2 day hopper tickets to renew you AP but can you instead use two two day tickets to buy one 10 day ticket?

I booked the bounceback for a week in July next year. We had 2 adults, a 10 year old, and a child in our current room. They let me book 2 rooms (and said I could book up to 3) and let me book one room for the 4 of us and a 2nd room for my dad (who was not at Disney). Booked it for CSR, which seems like the best value for free dining to me.

So I dialled ext. 8844 from my room this morning. This time I was told you could book the fd until Oct. 31st. Hope it's true for all of you checking in, in October.

By any chance did they mention any more dates for September/October to be included for FD?

No. Sorry. I didn't ask because I was only interested in the July and August dates.

Thanks anyway. I hope if they have extended the book by date, maybe that means they'll include more dates too!! Guess we'll find out next month when we get there.

Thanks for checking again. Hoping to book FD for a December trip.

No, you can only use one ticket to upgrade to another ticket.

Ok i am here and just called, the date is May 30th not the 3rd. I specifically asked about this. I booked July 5-19 at Beach Club!

Need resort advice. WE loved POFQ last year but thats excluded in 2017. Snagged a standard room at POR for 2017 bounceback but it will be 200 more than a standard at CS. Is POR worth 200 more than CS and 675 more than AS Music? DH would be happy with an AS, but the walk to food court seems far and bus service from AS Music this year is pretty slow.

I've never been to POR but I don't know if I'd pay that premium. I'd save some money and rent a car, making buses irrelevant.

I've never stayed in the AS resorts, so can't comment on that, other than I'd rather be in a mod than a value, but that's just me. If I had a choice between POR and CS I would choose POR. Both are huge with multiple bus stops, but I prefer the theming at POR over CS. Again, it's personal preference though...if money is the issue though, the value may be the better choice.

I think AS or POP are better prices. I have never stayed at POR or even CS but I rather have the spending money. It is a matter of what you would feel more comfortable with.

I love por, haven't stayed at CS yet, but if you stay at all star won't you get the quick service dining plan instead of the one that comes with 1 quick service and 1 table service? to me that would most definitely be worth the price to stay at the mod.

We chose standard CSR over POR this year for the first time. CSR was a nice resort. It was quiet. We enjoyed it. But I have one big beef. While entrees were delicious, their drink selections and side selections were crap for us when we used our counter service credits at the Pepper Market. There was no vitamin water, smart water, fresh cut fruits or vegetables, hummus and dip, etc....If your sides are important to you, and you plan to eat at your resort counter service location, I would choose POR.

Here now and booked the Bounceback for Dec. 2017! There are three adults here so I booked three rooms but the two cast members I spoke to insisted that the lead names could never change. It makes things complicated but well worth it for free dining. This far in advance it's impossible to know if both daughters will be able to come but at least we have the option. And anything can be changed except the lead guest on each room. Thanks for the heads up on this thread!

If you book the bounceback for 9/9/17 - 9/16/17, would you get Free Dining for the whole time period? The bounceback period ends on 9/9/17.
