Bounceback Information and FAQ Thread - 25-35% off BOUNCEBACKS ARE EXTENDED through Oct 2026! Updated 5/22/2025

Hello does anyone know if the bounce back offers apply to UK guests?

We have just returned from a stay at beach club and would love to book for 2026 if we could get a good deal. Does anyone know if bounce back offers include park tickets/free dining plan? Our recent stay included hotel, discounted park tickets and free dining for everyone. Not sure if this is just a UK deal and if it would be matched. Would be too good to refuse if we could get it with the bounce back deal rates

Thanks in advance for any information

The current offer is listed on the first page of this thread. It is a room discount. Anything you add, like tickets or dining plan are at full cost. The offer is available to anyone who was a registered guest in a Disney resort. You absolutely must book within 7 days of your check out day.

The package you used for your stay was not available to US residents. There was a free dining offer, but it required a full price resort reservation & full price park hopper tickets.

The only thing I will add to the great explanation from @focusondisney is that the deals that Disney offers in the US, including the bounceback deals, do not come close to the package deals with discounted hotel, tickets and dining that are offered in the UK. Only the hotel portion is discounted in the bounceback, and the only discount that can be combined with it for 2026 is the kids free dining when purchasing the adult dining plan.

Thanks @vinotinto . I don’t have kids to travel with so I do forget about that offer for next year.

I know what you mean because my youngest is 17 and I feel it’s been ages since I’ve priced Disney with kids.

Thanks for all the detailed information and answering my question. I’ll still give them a call but pretty sure we’ll be going ahead the current deals offered in the UK.

Appreciate all the responses

Today is the last day we can take advantage of the bounce back discount. My favorite dates in Feb and March are not included. But a great week in April was available. I was able to get a resort view at WL for a 35% discount. I was thrilled to get resort view because usually only the much more expensive courtyard view is available.

I wondering if the following scenario would work for the bounce-back promotion:

A friend of mine invited me to go to Universal for a few days in September. She's gonna be there for only 2-3 days, but I'm thinking of staying a couple days on my own after. If I were to stay 1-2 nights at a Disney Hotel in September 2025 (during the bounce-back period), would I then be able to book a longer (5 nights) vacation for the family to come out in late 2026? I'm just wondering if the 2026 stay has to be the same or less than the 2025 stay. I would be going to both. So it would be. 9/25 - 2 Nights at whatever the best deal I could find for a hotel at Disney, and then I'd like to use the bounceback for a 5 night stay at a moderate price Disney resort in Fall 2026. Would that work?

Yes, the only condition for booking a bounceback is to stay *any* date at Disney-owned hotel and book within 7 days of checking out. Your future stay doesn't have to be during the same time period, nor the same length of stay, nor the same hotel level.

I have an FAQ posted in the first page that may be helpful, and it also includes the dates that you can book through October 2026. It's only for specific dates in the future, so it's a good idea to look through them in advance. Also, Disney hasn't released bounceback discounts for November nor December 2026 and if you are interested in those dates, you can book a date that is included in 2026 and (at least in the past), guests have been able to modify to the new dates.
