Bounce back: running the numbers help?

[ChimCher-ee]

I'm just wondering, when I call to check out the bounce back offers, how far will the CMs go in helping me compare the numbers? Will they be patient with me if I want to try other combinations of features/resorts/room types with them on the line? I know some people work with travel agents, and I don't want to demand more of the CMs than is proper, so I'm trying to get a feel for how much the CMs will work with me.

Or should I simply call, get the facts on the offer, and say goodbye? Then figure out my options and cost when I get off the phone?

They will work with you for as long as you need to get what you want.

Thanks, I was hoping so. I'm working up some scenarios to have on hand just so I'm not a total drag on their patience, but I'm going to need their help (I've always know exactly what I was after, in the past).

Since you have to call during your vacation, I would use the mousesavers price list to figure out what you want prior to going. I would not want to waste time during my vacation figuring out different pricing.

They are very accommodating. I worked out a bunch of questions last September and ended up going the same time with free dining. It was painless.

The bounceback person I talked with was very nice and patient, even though I didn't end up booking anything.

I have never seen a bounce back offer that work for us when we are there. I am hoping one will work when we are there in Aug. this year for Feb. of the next year but they seem to only be for summer months. Has anyone ever booked one that isn't in August or September?

Unfortunately, they usually don't release the bounce backs for the next year until the middle of October.

For some reason, I thought you could book a vacation for up to a year from your stay, as long as you completed your reservation before midnight, the last day of your stay?

You can book the current bounce back offer up to midnight of your last day, but it can only be for dates that are listed in the offer.

There are basically two bounce back offers that Disney has been releasing every year. One offer comes in late summer and it is for free dining during a select period the next year, usually late August and all of September. Then Disney will release a room discount bounce back for select dates in the next calendar year. This is usually released in mid October and will available for at least a full year. Disney hasn't been changing the dates for the room discount. Whatever dates are listed on their bounce back calendar when it is released in October will be the very same dates that are available for a year. You will see the same bounce back discount dates in April that were available in January, for example.
