Talk of another Bounceback Promo...

[HayGan]

I would definitely book it again That would make 3 years in a row for us for free dining as well.

 

[jbmom]

Yes, we were there Sept 23-30. Went to the 9.29 MNSSHP and the last Villains Mix and Mingle. Here's a picture of the kids that night at the Meet. I was dressed as Wendy Darling and DH as John Darling in the nightgown and tophat.

I knew it! I saw your siggy and said "hey, we had triplets in front of us for that villian mix and mingle. Your kids were pretty wide awake yet, ours were asleep in the double stroller!

Too funny! PM me a picture so I can see you. They were WIRED that night, and we flew home the next day. We met one of their best friends at the party who now lives in FL. It was a great night. Can't wait to go back this Sept, but now I have to think of a new set of costumes.

 

[Momto8]

We are going in September on the FD and we would book also if they offered it again for 2008.

 

[annieb727]

We'd definitely book again if they did that! Not sure if it's true or not, but I think we'll make sure we have an extra $200 for a deposit when we're there *just in case*. Otherwise we'll probably be waiting a few years to come back.

Man, I hope the rumor mill is as dead-on about this as it was about the available dates and booking dates for this year's free DDP offer. We were there last year for 10 night thanks to free dining, 14 nights this year because of free dining, and will book another 14 nights for next year in a heartbeat. Bring on the 3H's (heat, humidity and hurricanes)--as long as we've got free dining!

Would it be offered to those of us going in Aug and Sept???? for next fall.
Or at some other time of the year for going back the next fall???????????????????/

 

[Simbee3]

I would love this my husband would not. But, if it is true I will just go head and book while there so I won't have to go through the waiting for a deal next year.

Everyone would like to know this. I think the BBP will be back, when it will be offered would be anyone's guess. I'm not booking my flight yet based on one CMs views. But I'm sure that we will read it here first on the disboards. Last year I missed the booking time by one week as we returned home the end of October. My timing was not good last year, and I'm not sure it's any better this year. My 07 trips are April/May 2 weeks, mid-August 10 days (missed the 40% off and missed the free dining because dates are 15-24), then we are there the last two weeks of October. If history repeats itself, we will miss the bounce back again. I crunched the numbers and by the time we pay to fly down, pay for a room for one or two nights and eat (we have APs), the savings of purchasing the BBP would not exist for us because a 2 night trip would cost $500 minimum just to book the BBP and save money. I think they should just contact frequent travelers via mail to offer this promotion as they do on cruises and not have it tied to a certain time.

if they did this. We have been the past 2 Augusts (free dining both times) and we are going this August (21-28) and missing the free dining (but we are paying for it anyway). I did have a discount to use but if I had not, DH would not have gone back. I am also going again in September (6-11) with my parents and we will have free dining then. I hope they offer a bounceback during either of those trips - I would be ALL OVER IT! My DD turns 15 in June so I need (no, MUST) make trips in 2008 & 2009 before she hits the 18 year old mark. At least that is what I tell DH......"Honey, we may as well go the next few years in a row because once she hits 18 it will just cost even more money"! Little does he know..I"ll still be going back anyway! I would have to be in VERY bad shape to not go back to my happy spot! Hope they offer it!!!

 

[Nickmom522]

This is probably a silly question, but, if you book it, you can cancel it like any other reservaton right? If they offered it when I am down there this August, I would love to book it and then have a year to convinve my husband to go back the next year.

I love it !!Go ahead and book it.....It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission !

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

I am so hoping this is what happens as I purposely planned our FD trip this year to allow for about two weeks or so next year, before this set of AP's run out, just in case.

A gal's gotta dream!!

UGH. Not fair. I can't go during the free dining times this year...and so it will be a double whammy if they do a bounce back for those customers...and I have to miss that as well. Our trip is mid-Aug this year (would have been on the 2005 and 2006 free dining dates).

 

[luvchip]

Does anyone know how many room you were able to book on the bounceback program last year. My husband are going in Aug for our Anniversary and then my whole family (brothers/kids ) is going back again next August so I'm thinking it would be wonderful if this was offered when we are there at the end of Aug. But haven't really seen if you are able to book more than one room. Curious???

 

[thelionqueen]

We booked the 1st free dining in 2005 (10 nts), 2nd in 2006 (10 nts) and our 3rd year in a row for 14 nights

NOW I have to plan on taking an EXTRA $200 for bounceback vacation deposit, THANKS A LOT

Seriously, THANKS you all for this info..JUST IN CASE I now have to budget an extra $200, so needless to say, YES, I'd book it in a heartbeat!! Please let the rumor be true!!

It was one room per adult on the reservation.

 

[iluvepcot]

We would book also. Aug 2005, I tried to get DH to go more than 4 days. 4 days was our standard trip. Not enough for me. He was balking about 5 days being too many and it would be too hot. I tried to tell him, it says dining is free!!!. He still relectantly agreed to fd trip but said this is our absolute last WD trip...

Well, Aug 05, he saved every reciept and totaled up our savings as almost $900. We stayed one night at Poly without Free dining for a total of 5 ni. He was so thrilled. See dancing dad in my signiture. Aug 06 he not only agreed to 10 days but it was his idea. When I asked him about his concerns over heat and Thunder storms etc. He stated that everything is airconditioned any way...

So now we are going down for our 3rd FD trip. You guessed it, 10 days again. This time we are bringing the entire extended family. arty:

What if you were booking a room for 5 people? Do you know if they would allow you to book two room then?

 

[n2mm]

They didn't last year. If you wanted more than one room (even if you needed to the kiddies) you couldn't book it unless there were 2 adults. However, some folks reported that they were able to book several rooms, but the majority of folks said they were limited to one room per adult.
I thought it was a little strange doing it this way, especially since not all families are alike, but it was a pilot program, so the rules were new. All we can do is wait and see, but I'm thinking it will be offered during Nov/Dec like last year.
