Add dining to bounceback??

[TiggerStac]

I know you can add dining if you are using a pin code (I've done it twice) but can you add if you are doing a bounceback???

TIA

I'm pretty sure you can. But keep in mind you're paying full price for the DP, and I believe you have to buy a certain minimum level of park tickets. Also, I believe you have to add it by so many days (not sure how many) before your check-in.

Really, the bounceback discount is pretty much another pin code if you think about it, but offered to a different set of customers.

I'm good w/full price, it'll actually be better for hubby and I. And I don't have to get passes to get dining...we're finally annual passholders. When we added it to pin we had to have only 1 day ticket.

I like your way of thinking

We are, too, for this year at least. I've been very impressed with the other discounts the AP's give us, in the gift shops, etc.

However, keep in mind that you may have to go to the AP section of the Disney website to add the dining plan to them. I researched buying the dining plan for our AP's for our October trip, and ended up deciding not to get it, but do remember having to go to that section of the site to add it. You'll need your pass # to log on to that site if you haven't already gotten access to it.

Yes, if it's booked as a package. If you don't have a package booked you will need to convert to a package to add dining. Even if you are an annual passholder, you will have to convert to a package, albeit a ticketless package.

thanks guys...I had hoped so. Hubby and I are going on a long weekend trip w/out the kids. So we are going to be dinning a signatures and I was thinking, we already have cali grill booked and flying fish. If we got dining we'd still have 5 more meals. We spend well over $100 in those places. total dining will be 432 for deluxe (which is what we like to get).

Now to just do my cost analysis and see where else we'll eat to make sure it's worth it, I'm such a budgeter and need to make sure it's worth it (it has in the past).

With a bounceback, if you add the DDP you will still have to add at least one day tickets, even if you are an AP holder. Last Dec I booked three bounceback deals for 2011 (May, Oct, and Dec). Because the % off was with a Bounceback deal, I had to buy one day tickets with each of them, even though I was an AP holder. When the AP discounts came out for May, I called, canceled the bounceback ressie, and switched the May ressie to a ticketless AP pkg keeping the DDP, but deleting the park tickets. The room discount was just about the same, but I was able to delete those one day tickets I didn't need. I'm hoping to do the same thing with my upcoming Oct and Dec trips (cancel the bounceback and go with the AP discount instead, so I can keep the DDP, but won't have to buy those one day park tickets that were required for the bounceback deals).

That's true, it totally depends on the offer. You may have to buy tickets with that bounceback so you can make it a package to add a dining plan, whether you have an AP or not. I've used the bouncebacks previously myself, but only as room-only with no dining plan.
