New FD Bounceback is out

[CandiceF]

Has that been confirmed? It's weird that it says 9/30 on the brochure, you'd think Disney would have the correct end date. Thanks!!!

Orlando by Joe's Facebook page said he would trust the brochure and thinks it is 9/30.

So the "entire trip" needs to fall within the listed dates. Right?

No, just your check in date. If the promotion ends September 9 (made up date) and you check in on September 9, you're good to go (up to a certain number of days, maybe 14?).

Excellent - thanks!

I saw it posted on doctordisney.com where they confimed (by calling) Disney themselves. I guess I'll find out on October 1st and see if they were right.

I was looking for the new BB RO offer (do not really care for FD) and I did find some info on resorts that I know some posts have asked about.
Excluded resorts:

• Fort Wilderness Campsites
• All-Star Movies
• 3-bedroom villas
• Port Orleans French Quarter
• Port Orleans Riverside (Dec. 8 – Dec. 20, 2017)
• Villas along the Disney monorail line
• Disney’s Art of Animation Resort – Little Mermaid rooms

Can anyone confirm if you HAVE to stay 6 nights/7 days like it says? I was looking to perhaps do 7 days.

You can book from 3 nights to 14 nights.

No, for the FD package, as long as your check in date falls into the valid date range, you can have FD for up to 14 nights. The RO discounts are different, offered for the specific dates only with dates outside the parameters at regular rates. With FD you get the promo for your entire stay, BUT if you overlap FD dates and check in a day or two before the valid dates, you get no FD at all for any of your dates. It's strictly by check in date, any package at most resorts and selected room categories for 3 to 14 nights.

I would be super duper excited if Free Dining were offered during summer. We'd go on July 5th for sure!

Remember earlier this summer they did a free quick service meal?! Numbers must have been good. Darn was hoping for last week in September or November.

They did that this year, but only for the (select) value resorts.

Is this for 2016? We had a BB for POR for December 8 - December 15 booked for this year (booked last year 2014). Maybe we had different resort availability because we are Canadian? We had to cancel and switch our dates to November because my new niece or nephew is due in December. Hoping for GP RO discount for November now.

The 2017 Free Dining bounceback for current WDW resort guests is out, and very odd dates...
Dates are ...
5/30-6/6/17
6/30-7/5/17
8/11-9/9/17
12/8-12/20/17

Offer appears to end 9/30/16

Could this mean the end of public free dining?

Thanks a bunch for sharing. I like to know what the bounceback offer is before I get there. I was told the new bounce back was coming out 8/16 (the day we check out, so I guess they switched things around)

How do these bounce back deals work? If Person A and Person B share a room in August, can Person A book a room for Dec. 15-20 and Person B book a second room for Dec. 15-20? Can they book rooms for Dec. 15-21?

This is the one just released for next year(2017) dates.

If we book the 2017 FD BB, then later Disney offers RO or package discounts to the public, could we apply that to our reservation?

Each adult on the current reservation can book one bounce back room, but they must remain the lead on the new reservation.

So let me get this straight. If I fly down on September 7, spend the night on-site, and return on the 8th (Total cost <$300) I can save over $1300 for a family of 4 if our vacation falls within the window for the FD BB offer?

Does the room where I stay determine the room where I can book? Or can I stay in the lowliest value and book at the fanciest allowed deluxe resort, for example?

You can change your FD reservation over to a RO reservation, but you can't stack discounts if that's what you mean.

Okay thank-you! So this is the exclusions for the FD BB for 2017?
