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

Call Disney, that way, if doable, you will know what is available for your dates. Unfortunately, none of us here can answer that! BB's can be modified, not sure about adding a room, but the only real way to know is to call.

I’m still in my 7 days, so I’ll just make another reservation to cover my options. Don’t want to find out the hard way ;-)

Even better!!! You can always cancel and get your deposit back. I've cancelled many a BB offer! And modified, too. Just never added a room after the 7 days. Enjoy!

That’s your best option. After the 7 days you can modify dates & guests, but not to add rooms.

I added a room to my last BB stay at YC this past August way past my 7 days cutoff. Literally it was probably at least one month after. The CM I spoke to said as long as it was at the same hotel and same dates they could add it.

Thanks! Good to know!

That is really great to know, thank you so much for sharing! I will add that I have called to add a room to a BB and been told that it cannot be done. It's possible the more seasoned CMs have a workaround, or maybe it's a new feature as I did call before all the online booking was available and perhaps some magical enhancements have been made since then. I still recommend to book additional rooms during the 7 day period, as it is a YMMV situation if you can add later.

I now have 2 rooms booked for the same period this December and 1 room booked for July as placeholders, just in case ;-)

Hi. My brother booked a bounceback for this late October and was able to move it to same dates for next year. If my husband and I don't go back until spring 2027, can he push it out one more year to the spring? or is it a one time thing?

thanks!

As long as the offer remains a room discount & they don’t change it, he should be able to change it to 2027. If it gets changed to a different offer along the way, like they used to change to free dining for part of the year, he probably wouldn’t be able to. But right now there are no known restrictions on how many times you can change dates, resorts or room types.

I tried doing this a few month's back and was told by a CM, when I called, that I could not add a room.

I need to book by 24th August. Does this mean I can book on 24th or I need to do it on 23rd?

I am planning on doing a short solo trip towards the end of the year! If they extend bounceback dates for next year I’d want to make a reservation for my family; but can I also make one for my Mom and Stepdad who would be in a separate room?

Yes.

Is the Bounceback offer the best discount available?

Excluding AP and DVC discounts of course-

Compared to the discounts Disney puts out during the year is the bounceback offer better or the same?

Im going to book it anyway (any excuse to go back!) but I was curious how it compared to other discounts offered.

There’s no definitive answer, it really all depends on the dates, resorts & room types offered for the BB & other discounts. In the past, some dates & resorts were included in BBs that weren’t included in later discounts. Like every other discount, different resorts or room types might be available depending on the dates you’re looking for. IMO the biggest advantage is you know you have a resort & room type you want at a discount, often more than a year in advance. BB also follows the normal WDW change/ cancellation policies. So you can book a BB & change without penalties if a better discount comes along. The only drawback is you have your deposit money tied up until your next stay.
