How Long is this FD BB available?

[Misty89]

I am going to be checking into either POP or a AllStar resort on Thursday February 5th 2009-
what is the likelyhood of me being able to book FD BB for my September 2009 trip?
when do the booking dates
this current offer expire??


thank you

I checked on Mousesavers and it looks like the free dining bounceback ends on 10/24.

Yep, I agree with megwilliams - the current FD BB offer ends on October 24, so there's probably no chance you will get it next February, sorry. You will have to wait until next April to be able to book FD again if you don't take advantage of the BB offer out now until 10/24....

Some DISers posted last year that they traveled down to WDW to stay in a resort for just one night just to be able to book the FD BB a year in advance!

If there is a BB offered when you are there in Feb, it will probably (though not 100% sure this far out, of course) be a BB room discount as offered in the past.

I can see how this might be financially advantageous for some. Say you have a large family event or perhaps just a large family...you could save lots of $$ on a 7 night trip. A family of 6 (4 adults (2 kids over 10), 2 kids) saves roughly 180 bucks per day in food costs. Over a 7 day period that's 1260. If you live close to DW, say within 8 hours, the gas $$ and 1 night stay at a value would still be cheap in order to get the discount. If we lived closer I could totally see myself and hubby driving down, booking a value for 1 night and driving home.

If you plan a grand gathering during that time and book say 12 people...think of the possible savings Ya just gotta bring 4 bodies in the car with you to each book. 1 night in a value will run about 130 bucks, add in gas costs. 12 people eating on teh DDP could save 400 bucks or more in food per day! That's 2800 bucks for a week in free food

Anyone planning on doing this this year?
