Really hoping for a monorail resort as the in-laws are in their 70s. I’ve checked the promo days in late September, late October, and early November. I can’t find availability. This is disappointing. Might have to just rent DVC.

We have had our rooms booked for close to a year at the GF (BB) in Water view. I have been trying to change to Theme Park GF or Poly (this is our granddaughters first trip and her mom (DD) is set on GF but we love Poly) for about 6 -8 months now....nothing! We also are DVC owners and have first half of trip booked in 2BR AKL (did at 11 mo. out and sure glad I did!). With the marathon now being the 23-25 there is literally nothing DVC available (no Studio at all) and limited everything else...not even SSR!

Not sure what week you want. Renting confirmed reservation may be your best option. Good luck!!!

October has been tough for discounts for years. The BB has only included a handful of days. Is there any flexibility on the dates? I've seen Poly come up in mid-September.

We were able to get the BB discount for our upcoming Oct 26-30 trip at POR when we were there in February. When I checked the BB discounts during our March 1-4 trip, I was surprised to see that very few resorts were available for those dates. October discounts are hard to find.

Hey all
For our 2027 vacation we wish to book a split stay. Hopefully disney release the bb dates again this may. Can someone confirm my strategy would work?
I plan to book 2 separate bounce backs for 1 night each for this year. Then once disney hopefully releases the 2027 dates, I will change each bb to 5 days each within the new dates for 2027. This would give us a 10 day split stay. I believe it isn't a problem to go from 1 night to 5 nights for a bb reservation.
How's that sound?
Thanks

As long as they have rooms for the BB available for your new dates! It's not a guarantee that there will be rooms to change to. If you can be flexible, you stand a better chance.

Laying in my bed at Poly here as we wrap up a DVC stay. We want to come back in Oct and bring grandpa and grandma. But these means 4 adults and 2 kids. So we’re basically forced to do a 2BR or two studios.

I’m a bit uncomfortable doing 2 studios at anywhere besides Poly, since I fee Poly would likely honor the connecting room request (this is almost a dealbreaker).

Sadly when looking at my Bounceback offer, it seems nothing is eligible besides OKW, SSD, or AoA. We have an AoA stay booked already but TBH after this Poly stay we really want to continue at a Deluxe.

It's very difficult to get the Poly for a bounce back, especially the DVC rooms. You are probably better off renting points, it will most likely cost less that way, too. But no real flexibility if you need to cancel.

Thanks, I booked 3 bouncebacks. If i can't get the full 14 days under one bb I will try to chain 3 stays of 4 ish days together

Hi All. Recently returned from my spring Disney trip and of course booked 2 BB trips with the hopes of moving them to 2027 dates. Will be keeping a close eye on this thread for when they open up 2027 dates. You noticed I said WHEN. LOL. I'm being very optimistic Disney will continue the BB.

Hi - hopefully sometime this or next month we will be able to book for 2027. Do the bounceback offers (if happening) usually happen soon after the 2027 booking window opens?

It has varied.

From the
BOUNCEBACK FAQ:

When will the next bounceback come out?

• Offer for 2024 dates started in July 2023.
• Offer for 2025 dates started in late April 2024.
• Offer for 2026 dates started in late May 2025.
• November and December dates for the following year are usually released around mid-November.

Okay - packages were released 4/22 last year and looks like bounceback was late May.

I currently have a bounceback for this October/26 I want to move. So I think I will book a separate reservation for dates I want for April 2027 and still keep this October/26. Then if bb comes out and my dates/resort are available, I will move October/26 trip and cancel April/27. And if bb doesn't work out for me, just cancel October/26 and keep April/27.

Okay then!

I totally followed what you are saying!

You are right that the bounceback dates for 2027 won’t be released until after the rack rate packages are released.

I'm glad you understand. I said all that to my husband and he just smiled and nodded.

That sounds right for most husbands.

 

[didilovesdisney]

Yes @focusondisney and @japanese maple I had to laugh
I recently returned from my spring Disney trip and booked 2 BB trips to hopefully move to 2027 also and he asked what I was doing. I started to explain and he looked at me and said are we saving money I said yes of course and he said ok whatever. LOL. Funny thing I have been booking BB trips since Disney started them. Go figure. LOL

Good Morning All! I'm sure we all saw that 2027 dates are now available for regular bookings....hopefully the 2027 bounce back dates come out soon also!

Until then, I'll be trying to guess the costs so we can prepare

I'm trying to decide if I should move to 2027 dates now and hope they're included in the BB offer or wait until the BB offers come out and then move to 2027. My mom and I are pretty flexible on our trip dates but I don't want the resort we want to be full when the BB offers come out....no idea what to do!

Any suggestions?!

I kept my bounceback for October 2026 and booked the dates/hotel/view we want for April 2027. So right now we have two trips booked.
If a bounceback comes out and we can move the October trip for the same dates/hotel, we will do that and cancel the April one. If not, then we will just cancel October 2026 as we are going in April bounceback or not.

Thanks for the info, gives me something to think about! Mom's retired and I can take off from my job whenever...so we're more concerned with prices than dates and that's why I'm not really sure what to do. We'd love to stay at either Riverside or French Quarter, so I'm thinking I could wait a little longer before booking a 2027 trip to see if the BB offers come out soon.

I just checked out yesterday, still only 2026 dates showing.
