Bounceback Information and FAQ Thread - 25-35% off BOUNCEBACKS ARE BACK for 2025! Updated 1/31/2025

[Mle8308]

Checked out today and dates still go only through Dec 2025.

I was hoping for 2026 dates, but alas, it looks like they are too busy still trying to fill up the hot 2025 summer, as they keep dropping offer after offer for the summer and I’m not sure they’re getting enough people to bait. LOL.

On an unrelated note, the weather was BEAUTIFUL. We’ve only been a few times in April, but dang, it’s so much nicer than summer or fall. Sunny, high 70s during the day, cool at night, no humidity, no rain. Felt like CA.

I know! I normally go at the end of August or beginning of September, but this year I've had to make trips down in January, February, March, and again in May (family health care issues), no real park days. It's been so nice, especially coming from MA! Still have the September trip booked, so I'm prepared for that heat and humidity!

If I book my bounce back for the end of 2025 can I move it to 2026 once dates are released and there is availability at the resort I want?

As things have been since BBs were restarted, yes you can. Theres no way to know if they will change anything in the future which would prevent it. But as of today you could.

2026 hotel rates are supposedly out today. Hopefully, bounce back discounts for 2026 will be out soon!!!

Tomorrow, I think. But they did announce a kids’ free dining for all of 2026. Hopefully the room discounts will be good when the time comes.

Yes, tomorrow April 22nd. Sorry, was a day early!

The 2025 bounceback dates were released around 1 May 2024, so I think we may see them soon! Releasing the hotel rates for 2026 is a necessary first step! The excitement builds!

Yes @focusondisney I too will look forward to your report. I have a trip shortly after you and am hoping I don't have to wait till my October trip to book my 2026 bouncebacks.

Also announced free waterpark on check in day will return, but only for Summer 2026.

Of note the kids free dining will be combinable with other Disney discounts so it should stack with bounce back offers…

 

[DisneyGuy]

Can you move your bounceback trip online? I have two room booked for December of 2025 but really want December 2026 but im wondering if I have to call?

*edit*
I see it only goes until October 2026.

 

[MyPrince&Princess]

I popped in to ask the same thing! We're going 1st week of May...was wondering if previous BB for the following year were announced by then. I'm looking for 2026 BB dates. If anyone knows anything please lmk!

Hi friends
Looking for some advice. We booked a BB for November 2025 however we wish to change our dates to March 2026. As BB are not yet released for 2026, should I book a room only reservation asap for march and then if the bouncebacks are released for march (fingers crossed), modify the BB and cancel the new room reso? Or hold out for the bouncebacks and then just modify my existing one? My concern is the rooms will fill up before any new BB are released
Thanks!

It depends…if you want a specific resort & room type & are willing to pay rack rate, book it as soon as you want. If your priority is to book a resort & room that is discounted, wait to see if the bounceback applies to your new dates & choose from what is available for your dates. As you probably know, having a room booked at rack rate does not help you get a bounceback rate. That resort & room type have to be available for a new BB booking in order to apply the rate to your existing reservation. Unless you are planning to book a room type that is very limited, ex. Suites at deluxe resorts, Resort view King club level room at Contemporary or similar rooms, most regular rooms don’t get booked immediately on release, so you might have time to wait.

For those going before BB's may be offered for 2026, you can book something during your visit and then transfer it to your 2026 dates once they open. You may need to be flexible about where you stay but you can take advantage of the BB even if your planned dates are not available yet.

Figured it was a long shot but checked anyway to confirm - went in to edit my existing BB reservation, and can't move it to anything after 12/24/25 yet.
Crossing my fingers maybe they announce 2026 dates in May!

I have been told to hang on that it’s coming within 30 days give or take. I have 2 BB that I want to move into 2026. So we will see.
