Bounce backs during marathon weekends?

[es45]

Hi, are bounce back rates valid during the marathon weekends? I'm hoping to snag a good rate for the Disney Marathon weekend in January 2012 when we stay at Disney later this summer.

Thanks!

JMO, and this is just a guesstimate, but based on previous years I doubt any BB you might see this summer will include any 2012 dates at all - usually the next years dates don't show until late fall.

Good luck though, because you just never know what will be offered

(FYI to help give you an example, looking at this years marathon dates (January 6, 2011 - January 9, 2011 and the half marathon February 25 - February 27, 2011) were not included in the latest BB dates of 1/31-2/5, 2/13-2/19, 2/27-3/5, 5/8-5/27, 5/31-6/4, 8/21-10/8, 10/23-10/29, 11/13-11/19, 11/27-12/3, and 12/11-12/17/2011)

Thanks. Maybe I'll get lucky. Due to a scheduling conflict, I just pushed by bounce back reservation to the beginning of October. Hopefully, they'll be out then.

Sorry if this has already been discussed several times over, but I was wondering if there are typically general public "special offers" for marathon weekend. I would love to run my first Half in Disney, but I don't think I could go without a room discount.

There are discounts through rundisney. For the Wine and Dine, the Friday/Saturday price at a value is regularly $120; with the marathon discount it is $96. It remains $96 for the other days leading up to and following the event when the rack rate drops to $100 and $110. Bounce backs, pin codes, and packages are usually a much better deal.
