BounceBack Free Dining Dates

[Julieh22]

I just read on another thread that the bounce back free dining ends 9/27. We are staying 9/25-9/29, do I need to move my dates or will the dining extend for the one day (9/28). If I change our vacation again my mom might kill me ha ha!

If the extra day is not included in the bounce back, can I just pay the difference or do I need another package? When I booked this past fall, I made the vacation dates from 9/23-9/30 and they didn't say anything about a conflict at the time (of course I didn't think to ask either). Now my mom is going and can't take off work for that long...

The only way to know for sure is to call Disney Travel. There have been both rumors of yes's and no's posted here in answer to that question. Apparently last year you could extend your stay past the dates, but some are saying that won't be possible this year. I would call to make sure. If you booked it as a bounceback package, surely they will give you dining for the whole trip. I can't imagine what a logistical nightmare it would be for Disney to have to issue new cards with dining totals, etc. as when you check in you get a "group total" of TS, CS & snacks. Do all those credits just magically disappear from your card the day the dining ends, just cutting that off wherever you happen to be in the total the day the bounceback dates end? I would not think so...

But, again... just call and ask.

We booked the bouncback for this September and our trip doesn't end until 10/5 and we have the promotion the entire trip. I even added 2 nights extra to it and still had no problem.

If you have already booked on the bounce back, then I'd just call Disney and see if you have free dining for the whole trip.

This is our third time and this was the first time when booking (the bounceback in Sept) that the CM told me that it might not carry over into days after the set dates. We arrive the 18th and leave the 28th. She wanted to be sure that by checkout being the 28th it wouldn't kick the offer because they had been told we could not book before the end date, and then get free dining past that date like you could before. Since my last "night" is technically within the offer she said I was okay.

Everybody has gotten different answers on this one. I'll be there from Sept. 21 -28 but the 28th is our leaving date so that night doesn't count. If I wanted to extend I don't know if I would get it or not I guess it depends on the CM you get on the phone?

When I booked mine I asked very specifically if my dates would be included. I'm checking in on 9/27 and checking out on 10/11 as of now. I wanted to take advantage of F & W festival with free dining. I booked the maximum # of days allowed at the time (14) and was told that as long as I arrived on the 27th my dining is free. Some CM's are better at manipulating the system than others. The more experienced ones make the magic happen.
