The "Bounce Back Clock" is the clock that calculates how long it will take you to recover from a day of marching around the parks in the hot and humid weather. You have to enter in various factors which will determine how long or short of a period of time you'll need before you'll be ready to hit the parks again.
For instance, if you are traveling with kids you add 1 hour to the clock for each kid. Teenage children are multiplied by a factor of 4.5 and for husbands you just add 12 hours. If you are traveling with family and trying to coordinate everyone's schedule you add 1 hour for every person and 3 hours for crabby in laws.
If the people in your 'party' are not listening to you and you are late for everything add 6 hours, but if you've consumed multiple alcoholic beverages as you stagger around the World Showcase you can take off hours equal to the number of ounces of liquor that you've had while putting up with the whiny uncooperative people in your 'party'.
If some one in your 'party' is running out of clean clothes and you have to hit the laundry room then you add 2 hours, but then again you can drink while you're doing laundry so those hours may be a wash.
For each hour you spend at storm-along bay subtract 1 hour.... unless you are an adult and you were foolish enough to go down that slide. Then you'll have to add 3 hours just for your back to bounce back from all that bumping.
If someone in your traveling 'party' has forgotten to pack something important, say like underwear, then you have to add 5 hours. Every time someone in your party gets lost, you add an hour, unless it's an in law or other undesirable, then you subtract 2 hours for every hour they are missing.
For each time you can't find your hotel room add an hour. They are numbered for God's sake so we've got to nail you with the clock. Likewise if you lose your car in one of those Disney parking lots. If you have to ride around with security to find your car in the parking lot add 4 hours.
As you can see the "Bounce Back Clock" is an essential piece of equipment for your Disney Vacation. There are more than a few families floating around that have accrued
so many hours on their "Bounce Back Clock" that they may never get back to the parks, at least any time soon.
However there was once a woman who went alone to the parks on a solo trip.... NO Kids, NO Husband and NO Family members. She managed to book a trip at 50% off of everything and nothing at the parks was closed, under construction, or dysfunctional, even the (Disco) *Yeti was still working! It was sunny and 75 degrees all week and park attendance was at an all time low!
This was the only person EVER who did not have to make use of the "Bounce Back Clock".
