New FD Bounceback is out

[smitch425]

I have a question regarding this offer. I currently have a stay planned this August (2016) at a Fort Wilderness campsite, but I am interested in booking a stay next summer (August 2017) at Pop Century during the free dining dates. I know campsites can't be booked for the free dining, but if I'm staying in the campsite in 2016, would I be eligible to book free dining at Pop Century for 2017? Any help and guidance is appreciated! Thanks!

Call the non extension number on the flyer.

Does Disney limit you to one bounce back offer? What if I wanted to book two reservations during the window under my name, would they let me?

I have booked more than one trip with the same bounce back. If you are looking to book 2 reservations for the same dates, you would need 2 adults to make 2 separate reservations. If you mean you want to book a single room for 2 different dates, yes, you can do that.

And two deposits need to be made I'm assuming for each room?

Yes, because you have 2 separate reservations, you need to make 2 deposits.

Like CandiceF mentioned, the BB for RO has not been released yet, from what I have read, it is usually released in October. The FD BB for POR is only not available from Dec 8 - 20 in 2017 and from what I read it's available all other dates. Maybe someone else can verify.

I can verify that PO is included for the dates listed except for December because I booked the BB for June.

I just phoned to clarify some information. The offer doesn't expire until October 31. Also, unless I heard wrong, the BB is from May 3 and not May 30th. It also includes most of the value resorts.
I'm guessing they have just changed the offer up a bit.

Hmmmm.... the brochure states that the offer expires on 9/30/16. I guess they could have changed the offer dates but wouldn't they need to change the actual brochure as well? I wonder if there is an updated brochure.

The brochure was posted on the 1st so my thought is that it is from earlier, not actually picked up that day, and they changed out to the new brochures on the 1st of August. Now that's just a thought, I only phoned because it was mentioned on another post that the offer ended Oct 31st and I wanted to verify that. Anyone can call through to get better details.

Thanks! I am arriving at Disney on October 2nd. I would prefer a room only discount as we typically stay deluxe. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

SO HAPPY!! Can't wait to get down there and get this booked for next year!!

And no values offered. That is bad news for me. We are going in November and I was hoping for a BB, but next year my family will have 6 officially on the books. Way too expensive for us to do 2 rooms at a mod or deluxe or a 1-2 bedroom villa; we need 2 value rooms or a family suite.

You can stay in a moderate since your youngest is under 3 yrs old. and still fit. PS Disney doesn't ask to see the childs birth certificate

Oh I know that technically we could still fit in POR or CBR with all of us, but I don't want to. We have done POR with 5 of us and it was getting tight. Can't imagine adding a pack and play, more luggage, and only having 1 bathroom, especially since my older kids spend an eternity in there now.

If your only looking for 2 rooms at a value you are not out of luck yet. Not sure if the offer will still be FD in November or if it will change however right now, until October 31 anyways, the FD offer does include most of the values. Not the Music or AofA Little mermaid rooms but, from what I was told by the cast member on the phone, the rest are available. I called because we want to book a value and I wanted to verify. So don't count yourself out just yet.

FYI I did the math and it's cheaper for us (3 adults + 2 kids) to stay at a moderate with FD than to stay at a value and upgrade to the standard dining plan. You have to know how many meals you will book to calculate it correctly.

For us its the exact opposite. 2 adults is cheaper at a value upgrading our dinning plan than to book a moderate. Its a good thing Pop is our favorite resort.

My family has a big trip coming up with 7 adults and 5 kids during the bounce back dates. Some of the same people are also going this September during this bounce back offer. *( Myself, husband, my mom, my day, and my daughter)* We were looking at getting 3 rooms for the big trip.
Room 1: My mom*, My dad*, My adult brother
Room 2: Myself*, Husband*, Daughter, nephew(9)
Room3: My sister, her husband, niece(7), niece(7), nephew(5)

Based on reading through this thread I get the understanding that each adult on our trip in September can book a BB but they have to remain the reservation leader or whatever. Do you see any issue if my dad booked, I booked, and my mother booked. Then when the big actual trip came my mom and my sister just exchanged magic bands for the whole trip.

Booked BB as:
Room 1: My dad, My adult brother, My sister
Room 2: same as above
Room 3: My mother, my sisters husband, niece, niece, and nephew

We aren't adding extra people and everyone who booked will still be going. I really can't see Disney even finding out. And if worse came to worse I guess we could just be forced into a kinda wonky sleeping arrangement.

Any thoughts?

I did this a few years ago. My DH & I on original trip & each booked a bounceback reservation. Me & Dd in my room. DH & sil in DH's room. At check in, the CM was very nice & said "let's put everyone where they belong" as she swapped DD & DH. No change in anything else. That was several years ago & I don't know if CMs all do that.

DH & I will be at wdw in Sept. We will take a trip next year with DS & DIL. I plan to book 2 bounceback reservations again for that trip. I think
Lots of people do this so you should be fine.

Thank you so much for the response. I'm glad to hear they were so accommodating.

FYI, some of the info we've read online does not match our experience. My party is organizing a family reunion next summer and EVERY time we've called its been consistently "three rooms." We finally just pulled the trigger - a guest from our current room (not the lead) was able to book three rooms. She is lead on one of them. Other family members (not present on this trip) are the leads in the others. They didn't bat an eye when we did this.

Also, we booked at a value (Pop.)

(So, Coconuts - I would definitely try to get the two rooms your family needs!)

We have a reservation on Saturday and I'll be calling back to book another set of rooms for different dates. Will report back about our experience.

Well that would be great! Maybe Disney is done making repeat customers play games to book their trips. Please let us know how it goes, it will help me in a few weeks. Thanks!

I seriously need to get out a paper/pen and hash this all out.......where do you find out the price of upgrading dining packages depending on which resort you stay at? Thanks!
