New FD Bounceback is out

[mum22girlz]

I am so disappointed :-( We will be checking in on 10/1 and I was planning to book a bounce back for next June. While my dates are covered, I will miss this offer by one stinking day.

Great! Another year where we get free dining the next year. Awesome!

Interesting dates, for sure. I do recall the FD BB last year (for 2016) included the first week of June but that time wasn't included in the regular FD offer. It'll be interesting to see what happens next year.

Doers anyone know how you can book the bounce back if staying at the Campgrounds, in an RV?
I thought you had to call from your room but is their an exception for when you are staying at FW?

Call the non extension number listed

I would imagine you'd just call the number on the brochure. I'm sure they can see where you are staying.

Surprised to see the earlier start dates in August but not completely shocked about October and November being excluded. Based on last year's RO BB and this FD one, I won't be shocked to see October and November of next year excluded again from another RO offer.

Is there a minimum number of days you have to get your tickets for with the BB? I see it says 6 night/7 day stay but doesn't mention length of park tickets required (if there is a requirement on them).

Thanks for posting this might have to book a BB when we are there in August and I'm loving the early August start date.

 

[Tink575]

It includes July 4th weekend? Does that seem surprising or is that always the case? And the August start date seems really early!

It's never been offered over Fourth of July weekend as far as I know, but I heard that attendance was surprisingly light for that time of year this year. Maybe that's why it's being offered next year.

August bb for this year begins Aug. 26th, so yeah, the 11th is a significant earlier change.

We were there for the dates in May and July this year and the parks were far less busy than we would have anticipated, P/T locals.

Not surprised about the September dates. They are now starting the Food and Wine Fest in the middle of September. We have been going at the end of September for about 7 years.
This year we have to go a week earlier, arriving on the 14th and sounds like if we want free dining for 2017 we'll have to go another week earlier.

On Danny's FB page he states that the bounce back actual extends through October, not September.

I so hope this is true!

Do they normally offer a room only also as another option during this time or just free dining? Was looking for a room discount for the earlier half of next year :/

It usually give 6 night/7 day as an example, but it's usually a two day minimum ticket required.

Thanks! I thought I'd read that before

They have released the room only discount bounce back offers in October, usually around the middle of the month, in the past few years.

Values probably are offered. The description on the bb offer has not listed values for a few years, but they have been included when you phone and ask.

Can anyone confirm this? I prefer Pop (we don't need anything fancy - we're barely in the room anyway!) and would possibly pay an upcharge for the standard dining plan.

 

[cciejourney]

They have offered free dining bounce backs before, and still released public free dining as well. This won't be the end of it.

Yes, but never beyond a day or two in Oct. The dates for the public offer have been shrinking, as well as the number of rooms under the offer. If they can meet their quota with a bounceback and UOCs there may be nothing left to feel the need to offer free dining to the public. A room discount could take care of anything that remains. This bounceback is unlike anything we've seen before. Typically, the end of August and most or all of September (with a day or 2 of Oct on occasion) was only included. Last year they threw in May 31-June 7, which was odd. This new offer is just strange all the way around. Lol
