any chance I can get "bounce back" deal?

We don't get to POP 'til 17th - 5 days late for the bounce back free dining 08 deal, but I would book it if I had the chance - shall I call disney and beg or what? Maybe they'll extend it a bit again - I want the deal my friends got while at WDW in September. If they booked September 08 at the same resort, they'd get free dining. I want that deal but I don't check in this year 'til next week but would come back during free dining 08. I'd read on another thread where it was extended for check-outs through Oct 12. I need them to extend it again...

There is always a chance. But no one knows for certain until Disney announces it and for what time period.

We leave tomorrow. I wonder if the deal was extended since it ended yesterday??

Just in case it was, keep your eyes open. If it were me, I would even call that number guests had to call to book and see what they say.

Even if you don't get the bounce back, there is a good chance they will open it to the public. In 2005, I got an email with a special pin offering me free dining in September. I thought I was getting something special, and then a month or so later that opened it up to the public. I think it is good marketing on Disney's part; they use it to entice you into thinking you are getting something special. By doing that, they get you to book right then and there.

Yes, this is true, but by booking early you do get a better chance at getting into a specific resort than waiting. They do only allow a certain amount of rooms for each resort.

(BTW: are you Sarah's friend??)

Well, and with this bb extension, it makes me wonder if they plan on offering it to the general public later. I am sure it entirely depends on filling the resorts during the selected time period. If they don't sell out as many as they want, then there will probably be something offered next year for 2008. If they get what they want now with bb, then they probably will just make other offers in 2008 and pass on the free dining.
Just pure guesswork on my part.
