Changing dates on a bounce back?

[StayAwake]

I'm headed down in less than 2 weeks, and was planning to book a bounce back for Oct/Nov for MNSSHP, F&W, and the half-marathon.

Because all of the dates haven't been posted yet, how difficult would it be for me to change dates if I guess wrong? Would I still be able to get the discount, assuming that the changed dates are included in the original bounce back offer dates? Or are they like AP discount rooms that have a limited supply and I might be out of luck?

I have booked bb offers several times and frequently changed dates a little or ended up adding to the reservation. we've never had a problem. it won't be a problem if inventory is available and the dates you want are within the bb offer.

I honestly don't know if the inventory is limited. my guess would be yes (since it is my understanding that is the case with all(?) disney offered discounts) but I am not sure exactly how it is limited. since the bb is typically the same for a good bit of the year I would imagine that if they do limit the inventory they also add to it periodically? with the changes I have made at different times and discussing what was available with the cm over the phone it has seemed to me that availability under the discount has been pretty decent.

when you call to change a reservation you booked while at disney on the bb make sure to state that. they will transfer you to another department that handles those bookings. good luck with your dates!

We booked a bounceback when we were there in November. We had booked it originally for April, and have since changed it to August and kept the discount. As long as the promotion is currently active and the dates are available under the discount you can change.

Here is a picture of the 2014 bounce back offer in the Be Our Guest booklet in our packet when we were at the WL last month. You have to look for it in the folder with all the other information.
