Bounce Back?

[TeresaWen]

Does anyone know if Disney is still doing Bounce Back rates for guests staying on site? Would love to be able to book my 2010 trip before I come back from my next one!


Thanks,
Teresa

Currently they are offering a bounce back deal for free dining next fall. There are a few other threads about the current offers in the different level resorts.

Thanks. I hope they come out with a room only discount by the end of September for bounce back! I really want to take another trip in 2010. My husband really wants a beach vacation!! If I get my bounceback rate then we will more than likely come back to Disney instead.

The current Free Dining BB flyer offer will be in guest rooms until October 24, so if you're going in September that's probably the only one you'll find.

Last year the BB that started after the Free Dining BB ended (around the first part of November) was the one that included a room discount for certain dates in the next year.

Though all bets are off in this economy - maybe they'll have 5 offers at once this year! Good luck and hope you find a deal!

Is the bounceback offer in your room only offered if you booked with free dining this year? We booked with room-only reservations with the fall discount and just curious if there would be any chance of a free dining offer for us to come back next year?

We are staying in Sept on last years bounceback and am looking to book again for next year however I would also like to book for the week after Thanskgiving. I would love to be able to book both on the bounceback deal with the free dining. That would save me so much money for the Dec trip. Anyhow I will see when we are there how much the CM can work with me.

No, the FD BB is not just for the people who booked the free dining package, it's for current resort guests. Some people will book even a one night stay just to be able to book a BB! Write down this extension and code and take it with you when you go - call extention 8844 from your resort room and ask for code KIL. (The fliers will be in resort rooms until October 24, so even the people coming after Free Dining ends will be able to book the FD BB).

Can someone explain Bounceback to me? Do you have to go twice in the same calendar year, or in twelve months, or during certain times? I hear about it a lot, but am not sure how it works.

Sometimes during the year (though not always available) WDW will offer an enticing Bounceback offer to their resort guests to get them to book another stay at a WDW resort even before they end their current vacation.

These BB offers will be for certain dates, and if you want to book one, you have to pick between the dates listed and put down a $200 deposit BEFORE you check out.

They do verify with their records that you are a current guest staying at a WDW resort, so you can't go home and "think about it" and then decide you want to book a BB - you must do it while you are staying there, and before you check out.

All the BB's are different based on what WDW's marketing has planned (what they want to fill, etc.). Of course, usually these dates are not during peak times when the resorts are full anyway.

The BB that is being placed in guest rooms now is to be able to go ahead and book Free Dining again for next year for stays between 8/15-9/30/2010. Again, you must put down a $200 deposit before check out.

mousesavers shows info on the current BB:

2010 Bounceback Package Offer
This offer is available ONLY to guests who are currently staying at one of the official Walt Disney World resorts, and could end at any time.

Using a special phone number provided on a flyer provided in some resort rooms, you can book a vacation package (accommodations plus at least a 1-day Base Ticket) for stays on selected 2010 dates at a Walt Disney World resort and receive a FREE regular Dining Plan during your 2010 stay.

The dates currently being offered are 8/15/10-9/30/10. Not all resorts and room types will be available for all dates.

Reservation for your next vacation must be made before you check out (and on or before 10/24/09) to qualify, and there are no exceptions made. You must make a $200 deposit when booking.

If you don't get the offer on a flyer in your room, the resort TV channel may be showing this offer. You can also try asking the front desk and/or Housekeeping for a flyer.

No scanner... best I can do

Thanks again to TiffanyD for posting this info!

This BB started on August 16, and will be in guest rooms until October 24. After that, no one knows what/if BB will be offered to the next guests, but to guesstimate what WDW might do: last year after the Free Dining BB ended, the next BB started around November 8 and it was for a room discount for certain dates.
HTH!

Thank you!

So the extended dining into Dec was just part of the free dining to the general public versus a bounceback program? Hmmm. I am so hoping they do that again.

Well kinda. It wasn't part of the original free dining, but came out on 7/24 to Disney VISA cardholders first, then general public on 7/27, for stays between 9/27-12/17/09 (still going on, offer expires 9/26/09).

Last year they "extended" it just for the VISA cardholders and never released it to the general public, so they're making progress!

Hope they do it again next year and you get it!
