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

[Marrila]

I have a BB for 2026 with 6 nights at the BB rate, 3 additional at rack. I called and the rack dates were added to my original reservation with no problem. My deposit was only the usual 1 night (room only.)

Thanks @Marrila for confirming things haven't changed since I did it back in 2023. With Disney you never know.

I posted this on another thread, but will relay my experience here.
I was in WDW in June and booked a bounce-back room only for next April. I have an AP, my husband does not. My daughter also booked a couple of rooms, so we are traveling with two other families (I have my own reservation). The other parties (also room-only) want to add the DDP, so I was curious how (if) that would work with our BB RO and with my AP. I called and here is my experience:

I am able to change my Room-Only bounce back to a "ticket-less" package with the dining plan, no ticket for me (AP), was told I can easily purchase a 5-day hopper ticket separately for my husband. The original room-only reservation would need to be cancelled, and my one-night deposit refunded, and the reservation re-booked as a package with a new confirmation number and $200 deposit. I AM ABLE to keep the awesome bounce-back rate with the new reservation. The CM "Cyrus" (who was AMAZING and super knowledgeable and confident), said that once I reserved the bounce back my rate is "locked-in" and I can modify it however I need to. It did not matter that I was out of the 7-day period.
So, essentially, I am able to do everything I want to do! Unfortunately, I was not ready to pull the trigger as the call was for information only, and I need to coordinate with 2 other families, but I really wanted to just in case the next CM was not as helpful ...

That’s great! Thanks for replying here, we appreciate having the correct info. Good luck when you’re ready to make the change, hope you get another knowledgeable CM.
