How lomg between bouncebacks?

[KarmaCat]

We are planning to arrive at WDW not long after the current FD bounceback offer ends mid-Nov. Does anyone know how long it usually takes before a new BB promotion is available to resort guests? Days? Weeks? I'm just wondering what my chances are of catching a new RO offer before we leave on the 29th.

There is almost always some kind of bounceback available. In all of our trips over the years there was only one time there wasn't a bounceback. The CMs had been told they were going to stop offering them but from what I understand they came out with new ones around a month later. Other than that, I believe they've pretty much always had them at least for the past 5+ years.

We did have one trip where they changed bouncebacks part way through our trip. We arrived several days before the August free dining began so when we first arrived the bounceback was a room only discount through the end of the year and once free dining began the bounceback switched to free dining for the next year. I called the bounceback line (extension 8844) the first day of free dining and I was actually able to book either bounceback at that time. I don't know if this is typical to have an overlap or not but I don't think that there's actually a delay between offers. Always try extension 8844 from your room if you don't find an offer anywhere in your room or in your check-in packet.
