Would someone be so kind to explain what the a 'bounce back offer' is? I always hear it tossed around, but never really could figure out what is was. Thank you!

& would we qualify if we're staying the first weekend in december? plan to return in late march or early april next year.

A bounce back offer is a special discount that is only offered to Disney resort guests while they are staying in a Disney resort. The offer is usally located in the Be Our Guest information booklet that will be left in your resort room. You would call the phone number listed in the brochure to make your bounce back reservation. The available offers are usually more generous than any offer to the general public, which make them a very good idea to book. You can always change dates and or resorts of your bounce back reservation if availability still exists. Once you check out of the resort the offer is no longer available to you.

The bounce back offer will be available during your December trip. If you don't see the brochure in your room, then you can dial extension 8844 from your room phone and ask about it. Some guests remove the brochure and housekeepers don't always replace them. Your offer would most likely be a room discount for select dates and resorts in 2016. Historically, dates after Easter have been included in the bounce back offer. :)

I had a different question that perhaps you can answer. I always go to Disney last week of October and first week in November. We stay in POR or CBR. When I do call for the bounce back offer I am always offered % off the room and never offered free dining...hence we never book a bounce back offer. Do they ever offer free dining to the best of your knowledge during this period in a bounce back offer? Are the offers individually tailored or are they simply based on when you are staying and when you are wanting to return? Thank you.

I have been told that the free dining bounceback for 2016 will be valid until Oct 31st. The 2016 room only discount for 2016 should be available by then, too.

The first is the 2015 room only bounce back that isn't a very good picture, but you get the idea of what the 2016 room only BB will proably look like.

The offers are the same for all resort guests regardless of where they are staying. You don't have to book the BB for the same resort as you are currently staying at, either. You are free to book any resort that is available.

Thank you so much for the response!!

To clarify, you mean that as long as I book before October 31st this year there will be a Free dining offer or do you mean if the dates I am trying to book begin and end before October 31st of next year? I am sorry I am just unclear and would like to attempt to do it right this year. Should I call them as soon as soon as I arrive or at least before October 31st in order to try and secure Free dining? We arrive this year October 27th and depart November 6th.

I know this is not definitive information as you stated it is what you have been told... but it is more knowledge than I have on the matter LOL.

Yes


According to what I heard, as long as you call the BB reservation phone number by Oct 31st then you should be able to book the 2016 free dining bounce back. :)

ETA: the 2016 free dining bounce back dates are 5/31 to 6/7/2016 and 8/26 to 10/1/2016

That would be awesome....I thank you so very much because I would have waited until the end of my trip to do it and that might be why I never get a Free Dining Bounce back offer because it is already into November. At least this is another approach. Thank you again. This would make life so much easier :thumbsup2
 
WHICH RESORTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE FREE DINING BOUNCEBACK OFFER? WE ARE GOING NEXT WEEK AND PLAN TO BOOK THE BOUNCEBACK AGAIN, JUST WANNA DECIDE ON RETURN HOTEL AHEAD OF TIME

HI there....thanks for that information again. I forgot to ask if you also heard which resorts were being offered in the bounce back offer? Specifically if Port Orleans riverside or french quarter was being offered? Thanks.

I know that POR was included because I booked a BB at POR. I'm not sure about the others.
 
Can anyone tell me what happens if I book a bounceback and then need to adjust the dates for the trip? Do I lose the offer or will it still be valid as long as it falls int he original dates?
 
Do resorts have lots of rooms available for the bounceback? Do they run out, or do certain resorts book up and become not available for the bounceback?

Awesome thank you. Hopefully that holds true when we get there. We will be staying at CBR this year unable to get POR so I hope that they do not only offer Free Dining at POR if you are currently staying at POR. Thanks again for allowing to to plan ahead to book a bounce back.

You can adjust your bounce back to change dates, resorts, room types, guests, etc, as long as there is availability and you stay within the original bounce back dates. You won't loose the discount which is why bounce backs are so advantageous to book. There is no better discount that Disney offers than a bounce back, in my opinion.

Do resorts have lots of rooms available for the bounceback? Do they run out, or do certain resorts book up and become not available for the bounceback?
It is like any discount that Disney offers, it has limited availability. Some resorts and room types will book up faster than others. Last fall I couldn't get a bounce back for my dates at the Beach Club. All they had left was club level, so I had to take Yacht Club. And that was when the bounce back offer had only been out for a week or so. But when I made our bounce back reservation for 2016 they told me that there was lots of availability. And only current resort guests can book bounce backs. So it isn't like a general public offer which books up right away.

Thank-you so much for the reply! It just might be easier to book a bounce back while we are there instead of trying to wait for the fall free dining release!:thanks:
 
I have a few questions. I am seriously thinking of doing this on my trip in October but here goes.

1. Our reservation for our trip in October is in my sister's name..can I book the bounce back since I am named on the reservation also?
2. If I book for 3 people and it ends up that only 2 can go or just 1...can this be changed at a later date.
3. If I decide I need to cancel. Can I do this?
4. I think free dining is offered (for bounce back) for the time I am going..but I have heard that they may start the room discount offer too the week we are there. Which would you reoccomend? We have always done free dining but if the room discount is greater then I may do that.

Thanks in advance!!
