Is bounceback worth it?

[paguy215]

We are loving our time at the boardwalk and are already talking about coming back in October. Coincidentally we got a brochure about 35% off what I believe is only the room. Do you think that's worth it or is it better to wait to see what comes out in the next month in terms of discounts and dining plan offers? Or, could you book a room with that rate and add a dining plan offer later or another offer later? I likes the winter offer we got for this trip and am wondering if something similar will be out in October?

if you book with that rate and a better one comes out you can always book with the new rate if there is availability. I will say though that from what I've seen the room only bounceback offer is going to be better then a room only general public discount. The ap discount, military discount and I would assume florida resident rates are often better if you qualify.

Thanks. Good to know about being able to book at a better rate. Would the deposit for room only still be 200?

Room only reservations only require one night's deposit, but just because the offer is a room discount doesn't mean that is all you can book. You can use your room offer bounceback for just a room or a package. If you do a package, it will be a $200 deposit. Do you know what dates you are thinking about for Oct?

this is right. even though its a room only offer you can add dining and tickets. if you do the deposit is $200 with the balance due 45 days out. If you just book the room then the deposit is one nights deposit with the balance due at check in.

also...if you need to you can change the trip dates and/or resort later on. i'm sure it varies but we've had good luck with availability when changing around on a bounceback.
