Not necessarily. You will not lose the value you paid for your tickets.

Oh good! Do you know where in the website you saw this? This may be a factor for us.

Couldn't tell you that. I just remember the talk about it on these boards when the new expiration of tickets came out.

Excluded are All Stars Music, Little Mermaid rooms, Campgrounds, and Port Orleans French Quarters. Also, you cannot book past 12/24 as of today because it's more than 499 days.

I'm seriously considering dropping down from a mod to a value, specially Pop. Rest of the family just came back from a stay there in one of the new refurbished rooms and they say it's much better now.

When we started going with FD years ago, we looked at a mod because of the price difference between a value getting QSP vs DDP, no fridge, no coffeemaker and double beds. Difference today is just one of the beds is double and kids have no issues with that. Only problem is the bus, but we drive for once and I may simply Uber back and forth instead.

Both beds are queen. One is a pull down bed so you miss the table when it is down and really makes room tight. But it is awesome that it has coffee in room!!!

Do the dates for the back offers typically correspond to offers realeased later for general booking? I am booked for next May but unfortunately a week earlier than these dates.

They may be similar but are not identical.

I thought it was mid-October they start. I'm too lazy to check the older threads though. I'll be there in a couple of months and looking to book for next year.

The free dining bounce back has been given to guest staying on site straight through till October 31 the first week in November is when it changes to the room discount bounce back.

That's odd, it's usually all star movies that's excluded, not music.

Does anyone know if the exclusion of fort wildnerness campgrounds applies to the cabins?

No the cabins are included it's just you would only get quick service dining so you would need to upgrade.

I was wondering the same thing. I was looking to book end of April beginning of May. I would love free dining offer. Does anyone know when the put out discounts for that time of year? Since the BB for around May is being offered, could that mean the general public may be offered that too in the future?

The bounce back offers are a little bit more liberal on their free dining for certain dates. The general public offer, when it does come out, is only going to be offered for September November and December trips. Usually trips in the months of January and February usually get a general public room discount or the stay play dine offer. Usually, April, May and June get limited room discount since that's usually a high-volume time especially April with it being spring break.

Can you still book beyond those dates and still get FD as long as one or more of those days is included?

Thanks!

Your arrival day has to fall on one of those free dining dates in order to have it for your entire trip. The only other option you could do if your arrival date is a few days before it starts is to do a split stay. Do a room only reservation for the first couple of days then transferred to a package with free dining for the remainder

Thank you for the insight. I've only ever traveled during the fall so this will be the first time going in the spring. SO I appreciate your feedback on what I might expect as far as discounts. Knowing that the free dining most likely wont be offered to the general public during the spring months, make same want to keep the dates I had in mind and not have to switch lol

Does anyone have a poster of the current bounce back? Chip and Co. advertised Dec 7-22 for free dining when this post and the Whisperer Orlando have Dec 2-22. Thanks

Nobody really knows until the Free Dining offer drops (IF it drops) what dates will be included. August dates have been included for the past 2 years. Also, the offer differs depending on what country you live in. I live in Canada and I know our FD dates and dates the offers can be booked are different from the US offer.

I do agree with above poster that FD has not been offered in the Spring, possibly ever. They sometimes offer 1 free Quick Service meal but I'm not aware of Free Dining as we know it being offered in the spring.

Can you book two rooms with the bounce back offer?

 

[scrappinginontario]

Can you book two rooms with the bounce back offer?

you can book more than one reservation but each room of the new Reservations must have an adult from the current reservation on it.

Please let me know if you'd like more clarification.

Are you asking if 1 person can book 2 bounceback offers for different dates? Yes, as long as an adult on the current reservation is also on each of the new reservations.

Actually, only one room has to have one of the current adults on the reservation. You can have another friend or family member on the other reservation even if they are not on your current trip. I booked two rooms in 2013 and 2015 and had no issues with this. I also called yesterday and talked to a CM that books the bb offers to clarify and basically stated the same thing I did but a less experienced cm may confuse the policy so she said to have them verify with guest services and you won't have any problems. I plan on booking two rooms for next September with one of my friends on the other reservation, she is not traveling with me on my trip next month.

Could that friend on the other reservation have it set up under her own MDE? Or does it have to be booked under your own?
