Changing dates/hotels on a Bounce Back reservation

[Julylady]

We will be at WDW in early December and plan to book the 35% Bounce Back offer for sometime next summer (BB begins on July 23). The problem is that I am trying to juggle work schedules and the kid's camp weeks. I thought this would be all worked out by now, but it doesn't look like I will know our dates for certain until sometime in January.

My question is: Can I book a bounce back week for late July and then call and change the dates later? Can we change both the number of nights AND the dates of our stay? For example, switching from a 10 night stay at Contemporary starting July 23 to a 12 night stay at Beach Club starting on Aug 10? If I book for 10 nights in late July and then we decide to do a split stay, can that happen?

Any advice? THANKS

Yes, but only if there is still rooms left under the bounceback offer.
I tried adding on 3 nights to my resort a week after booking, but they didn't have any rooms left under the bounceback offer so I had to do a split stay somewhere else that still had availability for that date.
I think the most important thing is just to make sure you get *something* booked under the bounceback while you are there. You can always fiddle with the dates later when you get home.
Though don't be surprised if there is not much left, I had a hard time finding something for Nov 2015.

As the pp said, as long as there is availability at the resort you want/have booked and the new dates are included in the original BB offer, you can modify your BB reservation. With that said, if you don't book 2 reservations (split stay) from the beginning, you will not be able to book a split later and get the discount on both resorts. Since a split is 2 separate reservations, one of them would (technically) be a new reservation and wouldn't qualify for the BB discount since you wouldn't be a Disney resort guest at the time of the change.
