Are GF main building rooms ever available with BB? This is the third year I've checked and that room type has had no availability. The first two years I thought maybe they were very limited and I had just missed out, but this time I was checking from the start....

Yes, I have a resort view room for this coming September with a BB rate. I moved an existing BB reservation to GF RPC in August of last year.

@focusondisney, just to make sure, at GF all of the rooms in the main building are Club level (the room type will explicitly say something like "Deluxe King Room - Club Level"). You've been able to get one of those? Outer building resort view rooms have been available when I've tried, but I haven't been able to get any room in the main building.

Sorry, I got interrupted while I was answering, so wasn’t as clear as I should have been. Yes, I have a resort view club level room. And right, all rooms in the main building are club level.

Has anyone even gotten a bounceback for French Quarter? Looking at next June - booked a 2026 reservation within the 7 days of checking out last week it was at rack rate but when I called to change - nothing was available. I could book preferred at Riverside but that was more than my current rack rate at FQ.

I have one now at FQ for this September, for 10N. I am most likely going to either modify it to a deluxe resort and move the dates or cancel it. I booked it last September as a placeholder, for a BB rate and to possibly change it if needed. I also booked a WL room, where I will be for a week before moving to the Poly.

Thanks! So it is possible then.

Is it possible to add another room with BB offer later if our kids want to come with us, or does that need to be done when I initially book? Today is my last day.

I would add it today - you can always cancel it if need be.

Okay, that's a good idea. Thank you. So when I book this, will I then have access to look at the different dates on my own, or will I have to call about different dates and rates? I'm really just trying to find the cheapest time to book YC, BC, or BWI.

You should be able to view the reservation on the website not the app and there should be a change button for the reservation.

If you are the holder for the bounceback and book 2 rooms. Can the second room extend their stay or change resorts without the bounceback holder still at Disney?

i.e. I book 2 rooms for 6 days with my bounceback for me and nephews famly - I leave after 6 days with their kids and they stay - can they change the current bounceback to like a split stay and get the same bounceback discount on the second part or do I have to be there for that portion also?

No, the other guests must stay within the same date range as you. If you cancel your reservation or change your dates away from their stay, their reservation is cancelled.

However, they could, upon check in, try to book a Bounceback of their own for the dates of the split stay. Not sure what would be available at that point, but it is an option.

The current bounce back has me a little worried for anticipated crowds for the end of January. We have gone spring break in 22 and 24 and it was crazy (second week of March). We decided against that, so picked last week in January. Now looking at the bounce backs the end of January beginning of February isn’t included, but spring break is.

Do they think it’s going to be busier then than for spring breaks/easter? I know there is no slow time at Disney really (other than late summer around Labor Day is if you can deal with the heat), but I’m really hoping that it won’t be as hard to even walk around as it was in March our last two visits.

Can someone please check my understanding as this is the first time I’m booking a bounce back? I don’t know when I want to go back or where I want to stay. I can just book a one night stay with my bounce back offer online today for the cheapest room only option at any hotel as a placeholder. Then, several months from now I can modify it online to my correct dates and desired resort, pending availability at the time? Even though I’m extending from one night to, say, a whole week, at a different resort, with different dates?

Also, if we might need two rooms at the same time, is it better for me to book one bounce back in my name and one in DH’s as placeholders vs two in my name? Thanks!

Yes to your first question. I’m not sure about your second as I’ve never booked 2 rooms with it.

You could do that. However, your husband would need to remain the lead guest on that room. So his phone or MB would access that room & not yours. You’d have to figure out how to deal with charging to the room if you don’t want his credit card linked to it. If you get a dining plan, his credits will be in that room, not yours. Ultimately, you could have any guest actually stay in either room, no one will check where guests are sleeping, lol. It could just be an inconvenience you are willing to deal with. You might be better off booking the 2nd room in your name & just cancel it if you don’t need it. You would need the guests names & address when you book. You will need to call to book a 2nd room in your name, you can’t do that online.
