Is This Possible/bouncback

[gayles]

To save money since it will be 2 adults --- 1 =4 yr.old & 1 --2yr. old -- If I do Bounceback for Sept. 2009 -- I get the free- dining .. Am I correct in that I must pay Rack Price for Resort (2 room's) ??????
Do I have to buy tickets to get Bounceback--? or could I buy them from Undercover ?

Yes you pay rack rate unless you book Old Key West or Saratoga Springs and yes you must buy your tickets through disney to make it a package.

But you can get a one day base ticket only... That's good for those with APs, but not if you still have to get them on your own.

But it's not cost-effective to buy the one-day base passes from Disney as part of your qualifying package, then buy the rest of your tickets from an authorized reseller.

Example ONLY, prices not accurate: Say a one day adult base pass is $80.
You're going for seven days, so you purchase a six day base pass from UCT for $220.
Your total ticket cost per adult is $300.
OR - you buy a seven day adult ticket as part of your package. Disney charges you $225. Total cost per adult ticket is $225.

Sure, you have the one day base pass to apply to the purchase of a longer/more expensive pass on a future stay - but will you? Or will you keep booking packages and never use those tickets? Or will you even know where they are five years from now?

Also, ALL conditions/requirements for any BounceBack promotion will be availaible in your Disney room - if not on paper, then undoubtedly on television.

That's very true....after the 4th day of a MYW ticket each additional day costs only $2 or so.......with a 1 day ticket costing $75 (plus tax) and a 5 day costing $222, it's cheaper to buy more days than to buy two separate tickets.

HOWEVER....if you're going for the free dining package you must buy AT LEAST a 1 day ticket for each person in the room. As an Annual Passholder I only bought the 1 day tickets, and my plan is to hold on to them until our next trip in 2009. We'll use the 1 day and then upgrade to an AP with it.
