Could someone please explain what this is?

While you are staying at a Disney resort, you can call 8844 from your resort phone to request a bounceback offer, which is some kind of discount on a future stay. To claim it, you have to call in anytime from the morning you checked in, up through the evening of the day you checked out. If it's still check-out day but you no longer have access to your room, you can call (407) 939-1923 from your cell phone. You have to be ready to choose your dates and make your deposit. Not all future dates will be eligible for the bounceback offer, fyi.

WHY did I not KNOW about this?!!! I love this board! I just need to figure out all the abbreviations you people use all the time, haha.

Do you happen to know the current bounceback offer?

Moving to the Discount Codes & Rates board.

No, but it should be either a room rate discount or a free dining offer.

It's still the room discount through year end, with October, November and most of December in blackout, last I'd heard.

In regards to the deposit, how much is normally required? Is it a set amount or a percentage?

Ive been here for years, still baffled by all the abbreviations!

Same as for any other reservation. $200 down for a package reservation, first night's stay for a room-only reservation.

Last time I stayed at WDW, I don't recall having the bounce back offer communicated to me. How do they usually do it: brochure in room, email, at checkout?

They don't really advertise it. Front desk CMs might know nothing about it, but there is always an offer available. Sometimes you can find a flyer for it within the permanent resort booklet that's in your resort room.

You have to call to get the details. 8844 from your resort phone, or (407) 939-1923 from your cell. The day after you check out is too late to call. The latest you can call is the evening of the day that you checked out.

I agree with @Shanti. Last trip we were on, there was no advertised information that I could find. I brought the phone number and extension with me and called it to ask what bounceback offers were available. We got free dining for this August- worth looking into the BB offers.

Just as an FYI - I don't think Disney uses the words "bounce back" any more for the offer. I believe I saw it called a "future stay offer" in the brochure/booklet.

Good point. I think you're right. That probably is a bit confusing to newbies because everyone on the boards calls them bouncebacks.

It's typically in that large pamphlet that they hand you at check in. Towards middle of it. But you just call the extension from ur room telephone.

Does anyone know when 2018 offers might come out? We are going to be there in early August and I would love the ability to book something for next year...

 

[OurLaughingPlace]

Now that it's July, bumping this thread to see if anyone has a BB offer in their rooms yet for 2018? We will be there mid-August and are hoping for a BB offer (free dining hopefully).

I'm curious - if you book a bounce back offer, can it only be for the people with you on your current trip? I'd like to take advantage of this on our next trip, but the trip we'd be booking next will have two extra people since my parents will be coming with us.
