WOW I never heard that it would be extended that far...I should would go for that!! But I know in the past you just have to check in by the last day and it is good for up to ten days.
I believe the booking date for the bounceback/free dining promotion was extended from Sept. 28 to guests checking out by Oct. 12 - but the actual days for 2008 reservation check-ins are still 8/30/08 - 9/27/08 (so someone could check-in on 9/27/08 and have a reservation that goes into October.
Well, my DH and DS are at Cali Grill as I type. I am a teacher so I could not go with them. I just booked bounceback for them. The latest day for check in was Sept 30 2008 and I got 10 nights. They arrived at WDW in October so the date for check in this year is moved to sometime in October. Hope this helps.

We were there till Sept. 30 this year and this info is correct as of that date anyway. When we were there they extended the booking date from Sept. 28 to Oct. 12. I don't know if they pushed that later or not now as of this time. But you have to be checked into one of Disney's resorts at the time of booking. And stays for next year can extend into Oct. as mentioned above.
We booked last full week in Sept. 08
