Bounce Back Specials?

[trekkie2]

Sorry, cant get the seach to work this morning. I am looking for informaion on booking bounce back specials and how they work. I am making a trip in 13 days and have decided that I want to go back sometime late this year and take my granddaughter with me. I have heard these mentioned and wondered if anyone can tell me how you get them, time frames for booking them etc. thanks

When we stayed at POR in Nov. 06, we were offered the bounce back free dining for the following Aug./Sept. There was an area set up at POR to get information & book it if you wanted to at that time.

when we were there last September they were doing it and when we got into our room there was a little card standing up that told us they were doing it for the following year.. Not sure if they are doing it right now or not.. Hoping though, as we go back in a little over 2 weeks and hoping to do it..

The info is there in your room that tells you when the bounceback is for, etc.. You have to book by the end of your stay

I booked a bounce back trip when we were there in December. The dates were on the computer (CR has in room computers) under my messages. If you don't have a computer just ask at the front desk or use the phone in your room to call reservations (I don't recall the onsite phone number). As posted in December, the 2008 bounceback dates were:

1/6 to 2/2/08
2/24 to 3/1/08
3/30 to 4/12/08
8/10 to 9/27/08

These dates apply to deluxe reservations. (Villa dates are roughly the same but the offer for them is 40% off.) The Moderates may also be included (but they were not listed on the computer.)

The instructions say you must book before you checkout (I'd be interested to know if there is some flexibility in this requirement).

I originally booked an April bounce back but when I returned home, I changed the dates (to January) and still received the 30% discount. I've heard there are other bounceback discounts such as the dining plan but I didn't see those listed at the time.

Also, it took about 20 minutes to get through to the reservations personnel from the hotel room phone when I called so be prepared to leave plenty of time when you call.

I stayed one night in September 2007 (was in Orlando visiting friends and heard about the bounceback free dining being offered for stays in 2008, so I booked the one night stay to get the deal).

Our room had a letter and flyer offering the deal, plus it was also offered on the Resort TV station. I also read that some guests saw mention of it on the resort restaurant receipts.

I had to call a certain extension before checking out in order to book it. A $200 deposit was required as well. Of course, I booked it immediately!

Definitely keep checking the DIS prior to you leaving to see if anyone mentions recent offers. Then be on the lookout in your room or on the Resort TV should an offer be available. Best of luck that you get a bounceback deal!

The free dining is for the regular plan. We were offered an upgrade to the deluxe for $32 per night/per adult.
