New Bounceback Offer this month?

[Paradise18]

We booked bounceback last year for 2 rooms. You can book a separate room under the adults that are in your room. We booked a room in my name and had my DIL name on my reservation, then booked a separate room under DH name with DS name on the reservation. After a few months we then changed the people so that me & DH were on my ressie and DIL & DS were on the other reservation. We were also able to change their arrival date to 2 days later and still keep the original package, also added DS2 to their room with no problem. You will have to leave a $200 deposit for each room. If you cancel within 45 days of check in you will get your deposit back in full.

Did you have any issues at check in? I posted the same question on the Resort board and a poster told me that name changes for the lead on a reservation would not be allowed and would result in a cancellation of one of the reservations.

Any discounts for October 2012

The CURRENT free dining promo/discount includes October 2012 dates.

I haven't checked in yet going in Sept. Both reservations are linked to my name but all of the paperwork I have received have the correct names for each room. I have already paid for both reservations and there was never an issue with the changes.

Just called from my room and was told there are no BB offers currently available. Hmmmm....

I booked the BB yesterday ( free dining) and was told it was only offered from August 18 to Sept 26 2013

I've not seen anything with bounceback dates for October 2013 either.....someone please share those dates if you see them

 

[luvdisney00]

I was there earlier this week and I did get a flier in the room (beach club) and the dates were only to 9/29/12. Did not see anything for October. As others have said I was not asked for the code but rather for my current reservation number.

Who did you call? My DH didn't believe me that we had to call from our room rather than ask the front desk so he asked the front desk who couldn't figure anything out for us and even called us in our room a half hour later to confirm that they checked everywhere and couldn't find any info. I then called extension 8844 from our room and the person immediately knew what I was talking about and I booked my free dining bounceback for August 2013.

Dial 8844 from your room to ask about bouncebacks. Even if there's no flyer in your room.

Crossing all my fingers and toes that FDing will still be a bounceback offer in October when we arrive. Gosh I'm getting so antsy waiting.....congrats to all of you that are getting it for September 2013 though!

Just booked our 2013 bounce back from Riverside. (10 night stay, August 19th through the 29th).

The free dining bounce back works great for us with 2 kids, as dining is really a part of our vacation experience.

One note here. I literally had to argue with the front desk at Riverside that there should be a bounce back offer available in the room. I had called the 407 disney number and was told about it. I wasn't ready to book, wife and kids were in another part of a park so I went back to the hotel and asked for a flyer. The desk told me there was none. I told them there was. They argued with me, very non Disney like, and they finally called the housekeeping manager who told them "oh yeah, we may have forgotten to put it in the rooms".

Long story short. Ask, ask and ask again if you don't see a bounce back available when you are there!

We just got back from POFQ and there was a flyer in the room I can't remember the dates but we booked free dining 08-24-2013 through 08-31-2013 @ POFQ.

So are the bounce backs typically for the same time frame you are there just for the following year?

 

[marymal99]

I think so we have usually gone end of Aug and starting in 2006 have gotten the bounceback every single year

 

[shpdem]

How often do the bouncebacks change we will be there in Feb and curious if the bounceback might be for Christmas time by then or still August.

 

[jennyerin]

Every year we have asked at the front desk (and the front desk of every resort we eat at) and none of them have ever known what I was talking about! Occasionally we get a flyer in the room but usually I have gotten the info from people posting on the DIS (thank you all!) So if you don't get info from housekeeping, check here!

They usually cover a couple of months, so we're going in October and sometimes the bounceback will back up with a few dates in September.

Usually the bouncebacks are for dates similar to the ones you're traveling at the time. So not sure a bounceback would cover December if you're traveling in December. Could happen though....we've not traveled in February so I'm not sure what the usual deal is for that travel period.

We have always been prepared with a print off of a flyer from the DIS so we wouldn't forget.....love that DISers are so knowledgeable and so kind to share them on here. Thankfully though we've always gotten one in our room before we've checked out....even so, we always rely on the DIS

In Feb 2013, there SHOULD be a BB offer that would cover early/mid December 2013, however, it probably will be a % off deal, not free dining. I believe the 2012 dates started in November 2011.

 

[TDC Nala]

there is someone posting on another board who says the current offer in the rooms is free deluxe dining at the Polynesian. Has anybody seen that? WDW has never offered the deluxe dining plan free, to anyone staying anywhere.

Would love this! A dream vacation to finally stay at the Poly and try DXDP
