Free Dining Bounceback offer available from 8/19/12 - 9/27/12

That might have been me. Here is a link to that posting I did with the photo of the bounceback that was in our room on August 25, 2011. Hope the photo will help you all out.

That's the exact same Bounceback offer we got, although as I previously mentioned the difference is ours listed the Deluxe and DVC Resorts. The one in your photo listed the Value and Moderate Resorts.

Yes that is the one we got in the value rooms also the dates of 8/17 to 9/27/12. Did the one for the deluxes give a diffrent start date?

The one at the Boardwalk Inn had the exact same starting date.

According to this facebook link http://bookwdw.reservations.disney....A&market=fy12dineCA&CMP=SOC-WDWFY11Q4FBDM0056
free dining is available to everyone from Aug 19-Sept 29 of 2012. I'm surprised more people haven't seen this or been talking about it!!!!

Edit: This may be a link to the Canadian offer that some have been posting about. Nowhere does it say it though. However, when I click on the link and try to price a trip, it says all resorts are full at this time. Since I'm sure that is not the case, I'm not sure what is going on.

Edit again: Sorry if I got anyone excited. This link is to the Canadian site and proof of residency will be required. Sorry for the bad info!!!!

Last month when I stayed at the Boardwalk Inn from August 17th - 31st our room had the Room Only Bounceback offer sheet that ends on December 17, 2011.

However back on September 1st when we switched back to the Boardwalk Inn since we hated the Beach Club and were lucky enough to get the same exact room. However this time there was a brand new Bounceback offer, although this time it's for Free Dining available from 8/19/12 - 9/27/12.

Basically it says Get a FREE Disney Dining Plan with a 5-Night/5-Day Magic Your Way Vacation Package at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge or Disney's Wilderness Lodge for $130.

It also says Get a FREE Disney Dining Plan with a 5-Night/5-Day Magic Your Way Vacation Package at Disney's Old Key West Resort or Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa for $142.

I would also assume that just like last year WDW is going to push Free Dining as the Bounceback offers and not the room only discounts.

I am glad that I at least got the Canadian FD offer that is running into Sept 2012! It would seem that the CDN offer is running 2 days later than the BB offer, as I was able to book free dining starting on Sept 29....any discount is better than none, however, I will still be keeping an eye out for a room discount as we are staying at the POLY CL, and percentage off may be better in the long run....FD is nothing to sneeze at though, it saved us over $1,200.00 for 4 adults.....we shall see Now all I need to do is hope that time won't be crazy busy!

I was at BC 8/24-8/30 and did not get a flier for this offer, but called and they were able to extend it to me. If you don't get one call anyway and ask. I booked BC 8/21-8/28/12 and it made the post Disney blues so much more bearable!

While we were at CSR (8/27 - 9/3) we were given a bounceback offer for the free dining plan at either AKL or WL or the quick serve dining plan at any moderate or value resort. I was kind of surprised to see that they are only offering free quick serve dining plans at the moderates. Do you think this is the free dining package they will be offering at moderates going forward?

We are planning on staying at Disney this October 9-15. I was wondering when they give you the bounce back offer in your room will it always be good for August 19 – September 27? Since we are staying this year in October is there a chance that our bounce back offer will be for dates in October of 2012? We are planning on returning next October with our daughter and son-in-law and it would work out perfect if the dates of the bounce back offer changes according to the current stay dates.

While we won't know for sure until we are there in October (I would like a an entire different offer than FD), I think it's highly unlikely. When we went in June 2011, the BB was room discount for select dates in 2011. It was the same bounceback offer that had been reported in the DIS months before and it was the offer that remained in place until August 2011. That is, they don't vary the bounceback offer every month or based on your month of visit. In some cases/times, it may not even be for the following year. I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing this same free dining offer for Aug-Sept in 4 weeks.

Well not the answer I wanted to hear, but I can still hope for an elusive pin code offer for October 2012.
Maybe some pixie dust will find it's way to my email.

Our offer was for free QSDP at the values and regular dining at the moderates. I think someone stated it was a error and they were fixing it.

Good luck! That's what I'm hoping for too

Man what a bummer! We were there from Aug 22-29 and did not know aobut this offer but we would have totally booked it for next year. Do you think this will get released to the public soon? We would want to go the exact same dates.

 

[princessdi]

My family and I do not use or benefit from Free Dining. We wouldnt book that. We use the room discounts every year though!

 

[jjsdad]

Just a heads up that I called today to explain I was on property when the new offer was released but the flyer was never changed. They let me book it!!!

What number did you call? We were there in June which was probably way too early for that offer. The Bounceback offer at the time didn't go until next summer. If this one was there, I definitely would have booked.

 

[jjsdad]

I called the number for guest relations which I think is the main 407 number for reservations. The woman on the phone said I wasn't the first to call about this. She did have to talk to her manager and they did verify my old reservation to ensure I was on property when the new offer came out (I think it was aug 25).

I just tried for the free dining 2012 bounceback, which I did not get in my room at Pop Century week of Aug 22. I had a room rate flier in my room.

Called the 407-541-5511 number on the scan of flier. The CM said she was not allowed to give it to me, but put me on hold to check with someone about making an exception. She came back and told me unfortunately she could not make that exception.

Very disappointing as I've read a few of these cases above where people could still book the bounceback. You'd think they would be glad to take the money I want to give to them.

To reserve it you needed to be staying at Pop Century and couldn't do it once you got home. I think the exceptions have been guests who called on to reserve the Bounceback offer on their check-out day, but they were still calling from the WDW Resort they were staying at.

Just above jjsdad reports they were at wdw week of aug 22-29, same as me, and called earlier this week on 9/19 and was allowed to book the bounceback. That latest report from jjsdad prompted me to try this evening.
