Help..bounce back, AP and dining plan, which is best for us ? We leave in three days

[lilasmom]

Ok, everyone was do helpful this Spring when I was making our current ressie. We leave in three days for a 8 night split stay trip. I also want to go back in Oct for 5 nights. I was planning on upgrading our 9 day tickets to an AP, but now am questioning if I should just book the bounce back offer. We will stay at a DVC in Oct, because there will be 5 of us. Hopefully, the BLT or BC.

Can I do both? Upgrade to the AP and use the bounce back offer, yet purchase the dining plan with our ressie ? During our second stay this trip , we had to get one day tickets (which I will hold onto till next year), would that still be required ?

AP rates for Oct won't come out til July, and who knows what they will be, the bounce back would be a guaranteed thing.

We also hope to go again next April, which would help utilize the AP purchase

What would you do ?

Thanks ! I love you guys ..

Yes, you can upgrade to APs and book a Bounce Back offer. From what I understand, you can also add the dining plan- they just change your room-only reservation to a AP package (no other ticket purchases necessary).

Considering the number of days that you plan to go in the next year, APs sound perfect for you!

ETA: if you purchase APs, you could also purchase Tables in Wonderland if you plan to do a lot of table service meals.

If you want the DDP with a bounceback rate, you will have to purchase at minimum a 1 day base ticket for each person in your party as part of a MYW package. Being an AP holder does not exempt you from this. Believe me, I tried when booking our bounceback trip last December. The only way to not have to purchase tickets to get the DDP with your AP is to book a passholder + dine package. The bounceback offer does not qualify.
