Difference in dates-FD Bounceback vs Fd offer

[Xanthe]

Does anyone know the difference in the dates between what was offered for FD bounceback last year (Aug-Sept) and the dates WDW is offering for the FD offer now?

thanks

I don't think there is one. I had bounceback and dropped it (long story) but I am pretty sure it ended at the same time. I don't recall the start date though.

Thanks! I'm sorry you had to cancel .

I think the start date of the BB FD offer was Aug 23 or 24th but I wasn't sure of the end!

The BB was 8/23-10/8

My bb was not free dining, but 30-45% off room. It included the last week of October, and dates in November & December in addition to the free dining bb dates.

There was a free dining bounceback. 8/23-10/23 of 2008 could book free dining for 8/23-10/8 of 2009 and get free dining

Quick question....we are going in June, if I book a bounceback for fall, would I be able to get Free Dining too? Are bounceback's even being offered still?

Thanks so much!

No. If you go in June the bounceback will be for a discounted room rate for select dates in 2009

Thanks for the info, I figured that's too good to be true, but thought I would ask anyway.

but you don't need a bounceback offer now -- you can just call now and book the free dining...the offer for the public started today. You'll have to put a deposit down, but if you're not sure about going, you can cancel later & get your deposit back (ask long as you cancel before final payment is due)

I wonder what would be better. Last summer the bounceback offer was 40% off the room rate. If you stayed at a deluxe wouldn't that be a better offer than free dining? Or maybe I should familiarize myself with the price of the dp. We have never used the dp so I'm really not aware of its potential value.

 

[Xanthe]

From everything I've read and heard, 40% is better if you plan to stay at a Deluxe but I think there are a lot of variables. The free dining is best for my family because we all count as adults for the dining plan (all over 10!) and we stay at value resorts.

I would definitely agree if everyone was on the adult plan it would be a greater savings. I'm just glad we aren't there yet. I hate to think about disney prices with 3 adult priced children someday.

FD is a HUGE savings when the 4 of us go but I would LOVE a 40% code for next May for my Anniversary. Then my DH and I can stay at a nice, romantic Deluxe!!
