Bounce back offers

[Mickeycrocs]

hello all! Sorry if this isn't the right place to question this but I did my best lol. So I am going to Disney in September and I'm interested in booking a bounce back offer depending on what it is. (Hopefully free dining) Anyway so if I book the bounce back for my husband son and I to go back next year, and my mom and sister decide they want to tag along, can I just call and add them to the package?

You need to book while there. You can book up to two rooms (or at least that was what you could do before) for the bounce back, even if you were only in one for your trip. I have never tried to actually add a room at a later date if that is what you are asking, but they are pretty strict about booking while you are there or by midnight on check out day. If you are all planning to stay in the same room then you can just add them, but remember that there are limits to the room occupancy. There is a pamphlet inside the information book in the room. Maybe someone could send you the phone number and you can ask them directly.

From my experience, the bounce backs for the last few years has been free dining. We have done them for the last 4 years. I know I have read that sometimes it is a room discount, but we have never been offered a discount only FD.

You can only book one bounce back room per adult. If the OP's husband is going on the first trip he can book a room, and assuming the OP is going, she can book one too. But the OP cannot herself book 2 rooms. You can add guests to the room later on. But you cannot give them a room, as in the OP cannot book a room and later on place only her mom and sister in it. The OP's name would have to stay on it. If that makes sense.

Do you have to pay in full for the bounce back or how much of a deposit do you need?

I'm pretty sure it's just the $200 deposit...Does anyone know if you can push the bounceback off further. I'm thinking there are dates on the card in the room, right? What happens if you book and need to push it out - do you lose your discount offer?

You can always change the dates, as long as the new dates fall into the bounceback dates, and they have availability at the resort you chose.

The deposit depends on what kind of bounceback. If it is a package bounceback, then it is the $200 deposit. If it is a room only bounceback then you pay one night's fee for a deposit.

Is the bounceback limited to the resort you stayed at? As in will they only offer you a bounceback deal if you book into the same resort?

You can book any resort included, pending availability.

Thanks. They must have changed it. Maybe too many people taking advantage? I booked 2 rooms under my name in 2013 (have only done 1 room since). I did have to keep the reservation under my name and add my parents, but they didn't even ask for a second adult if I remember right. I was vacationing with just my daughter in October and we returned the following August. Good to know. Maybe I had a lazy CM.

Wow! Not only have I been asked for the name of the second adult, I have had to hand them the phone!
