Bounce Back...when can we expect new dates?

[WDW4us2006]

I'm heading to WDW on August 19, and I booked this trip on a bounce back from a quick March stay. Does anyone have a guess as to when BB dates for next year will be out? I can't go back until 2013, but I'm hoping something new comes out soon!

Well the last couple years a Free Dining BB began the first part of August (last year was August 8). It was to be able to book a return FD package a year ahead for the next years FD dates. If it's the same this year it will probably be for Aug/Sept 2013 FD - and will probably be the BB you'll see when you go on August 19.

Then sometime in Oct/Nov the FD BB usually expires and a new room discount BB begins, and that's the one that will probably have dates throughout the next year.

You never know with Disney marketing though, it can always be different this year!

Thanks for your response! We are a family of 4 adults, so FD would work, too. I'll take anything!

Can you book TWO bounce back stays?

Can you book TWO bounce back stays?

Do you mean for one room for two BB stays with different dates? As long as the dates are listed in the BB offer, yes. You'll have to deposit for both stays.

Or do you mean two BB rooms (during the same return stay)? Also yes, as long as you have a current resort guest name for the main name for each reservation - you can't book a BB room for someone who is not staying there (the CMs do check to make sure you're a current guest), and BB res are not transferrable. So you just have to be a little creative to book two rooms For example, DH can book one res and DW can book another, or in your case with 4 adults staying each could book a BB.

Again, you'll have to deposit for both rooms ($200 for each room if it's a package offer/cost of one night stay if room discount).

Hi, yes, I meant two separate stays. We plan to go back when our daughter has her college lacrosse tournament in March, then again next summer. So....depending of course if those dates are actually available.

I'm happy to know this!!!

If we are offered a BB on our upcoming trip is it something we could take advantage of as well as our Military discount?

No you can only use one discount. No stacking.

Just curious...why wouldn't you go ahead and upgrade your tixs from this current trip in August to annual passes and then you save $ on tixs and AP holders get good discounts on rooms usually. Might be cheaper than the bouncebacks.

Just something to consider! Have fun planning!

Just to be clear about the likelihood of BBs in August, historically, the free dining BB offered in the second half of August was only for the same timeframe the following year. It's doubtful that there'll be a BB for March of the following year.

I'd love to be able to book a February BB in August but I doubt there'll be one available.

I'm going in December. Do you think there will be some kind of BB (room, preferably) for June 2013?

If I was a betting woman, I'd put money on yes, there will be a room only BB in December for most of 2013.
