Talk of another Bounceback Promo...

[Victoria'sMom]

I was on TGM this am and there is talk of another bounceback promotion. Here is the quote...

"Again it was just one cast member saying this and from what he was alluding to was that Disney was going to offer the Bounce Back during the Free Dinning time period for booking for the next year around Aug- Sept 2008."

Has anyone heard this yet? How about some input from the experts?

They could certainly do that - but full priced rates and packages won't be announced likely for a couple of months. I'd not speculate on what discounts might be offered for a year and a half from now, it's really early.

I'm not sure "how successful" bounceback was for WDW this past year. I'm sure it got some interest, but I thought the idea was handled very poorly and the overal "execution" of the plan was disorganized. I like the idea of it though!

If there is talks of "bounceback free dinning" than I expect to see it released this September, potentially while free dinning is going on this year.

It's an interesting thought!

Well if they do, I'll be on it like Blue Bonnet !!!

I'd heard it was more successful than expected. But who knows? (Disney!)

I don't see why not. They offered a similar kind of thing back in 2003. It doesn't have to generate tons of responses for it to be worthwhile...if they can start filling rooms a year in advance, it's a good thing...if they can begin projecting numbers of bookings a year in advance...then it's to their advantage. One more person booked with Disney means one less person who might book somewhere else, or not at all.

The bounceback promo let people staying at a WDW resort during a certain period (can't remember when) book their next trip (again, during a certain period, around late august to september I believe?) at a discounted rate. Ya, I'm like no help lol!

 

[WAHMto5]

That would be great, we would for sure take advantage of it!

What is TGM?

TGM= Tour Guide Mike

Did this mean they would be offering it during free dining 2007 to lure people back for free dining 2008?

THANKS NOW I GET IT.

 

[Neelloc]

I'd love it if they'd do this while we are there! It would planning planning our family trip for 2008 a breeze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

It would certainly take away all the drama and anxiety all of us non-UK/Bounce Backers went through this year!

Of course, could Disney really handle giving us a whole year to call back multiple times and change dates, resorts, etc?

We stayed at POR this past November and the "bounceback promo" was going on. I believe you had to book your next trip for this fall. I don't think the promo specifically said "free dining", but we figured out that the discount was about the same as what the DDP would have cost us.

 

[everest]

Yeah; I hope this is true.

I listened to Mary (from a Disney savings site) on a pod cast last week say that Disney has said that the Free DDP is by far one of their most successful promotion they have, as far as getting guests to book and make commitments. She also said that Disney has offered guests other larger more money saving promotions, but none have been as popular as the Free DDP promotion.

This will be our 2nd year in a row for Free Dining. And I would definitely book it for 2008 if they offer it as a bounce-back during our trip!

It's also our second year and would book again for 08 if it was offered!

Off topic, triplefigs were you there the last week of Sept. last year? I think we were behind you guys at MNSSHP during the Villians Mix and Mingle. I don't know why I remember things like that but I do.

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.

That would be great. We would take advantage of it.
