Do they offer bounceback any time of year?

[Vandercapellen]

We are going in Feb or March 2009. I was wondering if they offer a bounce back deal throughout the whole year. I would love to take advantage of this great deal. I guess the question at hand is, when we go next year, will have a bounceback offer for Aug of 2010 for free dining?

No, BB are not always available. They show up and then expire, so you can only hope you'll see one while you're there.

JMO, but no, you probably will not be offered a Free Dining BB if you are going in Feb/March.

So far they have only offered the Free Dining Bouncebacks to resort guests who are actually staying during the Free Dining period. Like this year's FD BB which is running from 8/23 to 10/24/08 for stays next year between 8/23-10/8/09. There will probably be a different BB that starts after 10/24, but it won't include FD.

You might get a BB offer in Feb/March, but it will probably be like these from last year (that didn't include FD) different dates and terms of course, but probably similar:

Room discount incentives to book ahead for these dates: 12/9/07-12/15/07, 1/6/08-2/2/08, 2/24/08-3/1/08, 3/30/08-4/21/08, 8/10/08-9/27/08.

Info was:

Ask about rooms at other WDW resort hotels.

*Some people reported getting 20% values, 30% off Mods, but flyer didn't show that, you had to call.

Then the next BB started around April and ran until the FD BB then started this August:
