Bounceback Information and FAQ Thread - 25-35% off BOUNCEBACKS ARE BACK for 2024/2025! Updated 11/22/2024

Can anyone confirm whether the bounceback rates have been extended beyond October 2025? We are currently booked to Oct. 31 and hoping to extend by a few days, but the call is long distance from Canada. I'm hoping to save the call charges until I know I can add on some November dates!

New dates have not yet been reported, and they *just* opened a few days ago the rack rate bookings for November 2025, so I would guess it’s going to take some time for them to decide which dates in Nov 2025 to discount (for this year only 3 days at the end of Nov were discounted).

Thank you so much! It may be worth just booking a rack rate reservation as a backup and seeing if any other discount codes apply.

Good idea but do be prepared to pay rack rate. I just returned from my bounceback trip for 2024 and added days at rack rate. Unfortunately the days after October 31st was the wine and dine race weekend so no discounts but I figured that would be the case. With the bounceback discount it was still a good deal for us.
 
Well I am back from my 2024 bounceback trip and of course while there I called and booked my two 2025 bounceback discount trips. I did have great CMs both times I called and made it quite clear in the beginning I wanted room only not a package and I reconfirmed that before ending the call. Had no issues and the email confirmations were correct also. I surprisingly had success booking the 3 standard rooms at Pop for the 6 nights available in October. Glad for that. Now my spring trip was a different story. I did get Pop which is good because it is the only resort I want for that trip. But although I had 4 dates I was interested in only one had anything available at Pop and it was a standard pool not just standard. So of course I took it 🙄 😒 but now I have the daunting task of calling occasionally to see if any standard rooms become available for any of my dates. I am glad I at least have that room but I admit I didn't expect a problem for the spring trip. I was stressing over the October dates. I thankfully have time to keep checking and will. I would love to hear if anyone has had in the past any luck being able to get what they really wanted. Comments for any experiences not just Pop would be great and encouraging. Thanks. But I at least for the most part had success and am looking forward to my Disney trips next year.

If you book a room only bounce back are you than able to make changes yourself online or do you still have to call to make any changes?
 
Asking this in the hopes of avoiding a phone call if there's no point.
Are rooms that are unique (there's only one of them) ever available at a discounted rate?

Probably not, and there are rooms that are not part of the offer. But the only way to find out is to call, and remember, you only have 7 days after your check out date to book a BB.

Yeah, I guess I should call. I think it's unlikely but 35% would be around $700 a night so I should check. I hate making phone calls so much and the last time that I made a Bounce Back reservation the phone cm was really annoying. Why do they think I want to make small talk? Just look up the answer to my question geez!

There are only 2 king rooms for the Tower Club Club Level at Contemporary Resort. I have gotten it at a discount 4 times. Most were at slower times, but I currently have a general public 10% discount for 3 nights at Christmas. I got it on a bounceback but that was about 8 years ago.

So IMO you never know.

Okay. You've convinced me to make the call :)

I don't know about a "unique" room, but there aren't many Deluxe Rooms with Club Level at Grand Floridian, and I have one booked for July. But yet, a standard room at CBR wasn't available for May with the bounceback. So, I echo the sentiment to call, because you just never know. If that room hasn't been selling well, they may discount it!

I did call. The cm I spoke with said that the one I wanted never gets any of the discounts because it's almost always booked even at rack rate, and she advised me that since it was available for a full week to jump on it at rack rate because it's so in demand and would be gone if I waited. So I did go ahead and book it at rack. I was able to get 35% off for the second week of our trip at a different resort though.

May I ask what room type/resort were you trying to get?

It was worth the shot! What resort/room were you looking for in the first and second weeks?
