Dates for Free Dining in Bounceback Offer

[Biscuitsmom31]

I was just wondering what dates the free dining was offered in the bounceback deal. I just want a general idea for when it would be available "if" it were available to the general public.

I think it was something like 8/15 to 9/29 (maybe 30).

We're going 8/12-8/16 then getting on the 8/16 sailing of the Wonder.

'Requested arrival date must be on or between August 5, 2007 and Sepember 29, 2007'.

I'm arriving Sept 29th for eight nights and got it for the entire eight nights (Sept 29th-Oct 7th).

Hi
The Bounce Back Promotion was available to onsite visitors during Nov. and Dec. of 06. If you were staying at a WDW resort, you could book a return trip (between Aug.5th and Sept.29th 07) and receive "free dining". This is had to be booked before you checked out. This promotion ended 12/31/06.

Lot's of folks are hoping for the free dining promotion to again be offered to the general public, as it has been for the last 2 years, both during mid August thru the month of Sept.

Hope this helps.

Ahhh. Thanks!
When do you think we can expect to know about that offer?
How soon in advance do you usually book your trip? I would rather wait to book until I see if that offer is available....

We were there in December for seven nights and heard nothing about the bounceback offer. Bummer. We would probably have tried to book it.

Last year the "Free dining" was first offered on April 1st to Disney Visa card holders, then to the general public a few days later. You could book it until, I think, the June 2nd, then they actually extended the promotion to book thru the month of June. The dates last year for free dining were Aug. 13th thru Sept. 30th.

I actually have room booked already with a AAA discount for the last week of August, as we are planning to go with or without the promotion.

Take care
Deb

If you book now- will you be able to get the discount if it is offered?

 

[Mickdeb]

You will need to see if it is available for your dates and resort. They can apply the discount code to a current reservation if there is availability. Right now, I have a room only ressie with AAA and will need to cancel and rebook with Disney for a package to qualify for the promotion. Hopefully, the dates and resort will be able to stay the same.
We continue to wait and hope for free dining
