Newb- Bounceback Question

[luckybug618]

So we are going in 3 weeks for our honeymoon and got the Premium DDP. We wanted the backstage tours, and like the choices for more "adult" dinners. Not sure if it was worth the expense but for 7 days and a honeymoon, i think we're using it to the max with ADRs for all 3 meals. I've been to disney at least 75 times so spending time in the parks isn't as important, but food mmmmm.

SO What is the bounceback offer with free dining I have been reading about on these boards? How do I get it?

I understand the free dining is offered to gen. pub in april, but it seems the bounceback with free ddp is different. Thanks for the help!

I think bounce back was only offered during the August/September free dining program. For those who were there during free dining during those months, they were given the option of booking for August/September 2009. If they booked (with deposit) for August/September 2009 while they were there in August/September 2008, they got free dining.

So if you're on the premium I need to ask - are you taking advantage and going to Victoria & Albert's?

The bounceback for free dining next year was offered until October 24. It is no longer offered.

There are apparently some current bounceback offers, but they are for room only, not free dining.

Future Stay (called BounceBack here) promotions are offered to Guests while they are staying onsite, for, well, a future stay.

In 2007 and 2008, the Free Dining Future Stay Promotion was offered to Guests staying in a Disney resort between (about) August 20 and October 24, for next year's Free Dining during approximately the same period - although you'd actually need to check in by the end of September. In 2006 (first time), it was offered instead to Guests staying onsite in November and December.

It's extremely unlikely that this offer will be made while you are there. In fact, since Disney is offering the 4/3 Promotion for the first half of next year, it's not likely they'll offer ANY other promotion at this time. But you never know.
