2016 bounce back?

[PeasandCarrots]

When will the 2016 bounce back offers start? I know I got mine this year in Nov of last year. This year I'm going in late Oct and hoping the 2016s will be out by then. It's so nice to have your discount locked in and not have to watch for offers and/or change reservations 2-3 months ahead of the trip.

We go in Sept and have been booking bounceback for the last couple of years for free dining. We stay at ASMo which is never included. I'm hoping they will offer it again this year.

My sister is going this September with my parents...they are planning/hoping to book bounce back for us as well to make it a family get-together next year! Hope it works....would be so nice to have discount/FD locked in ahead of time!

Just to clarify.. This means that as long as we arrive by Oct 1, our entire stay will be free dining, right? Any clue if Caribbean Beach was included?

Yes. You would get free dining for your entire stay with a 14 day max as long as your check in date was during the FD period. Caribbean Beach is usually included in all the discounts.

From past history, how long will this 2016 free dining bounceback be available (when will the new bounceback offer be bookable?

I heard that the 2016 Free Dining bounceback could be booked through Oct 31st.

I don't know when they will released the 2016 RO bounceback, but when we were there last Oct 22-27th, the 2015 RO BB had recently been released. Our upcoming Oct trip was booked with that 2015 BB. So I would guess that the 2016 RO BB would be released sometime in the middle of October.

Thank you. We are also traveling during the last week of October and I was hoping for a RO BB. We shall see.

Thanks Wood Nymph. I know the brochure says the offer is 6 nights. But, will a shorter stay qualify? I know it has in the past when we have booked FD but we have never used BB before. Also, does it specify how many park ticket days we would have to get? Would like to go to the MNSSHP one evening and may not get a ticket for that morning.

I heard that there is a 3 night minimum with this BB. I don't know what the minimum ticket purchase would be.

That's what it was last year. I booked with a 2 day minimum ticket last year and then 'tweaked' it later on. I see they are also requiring the park hopper or water park this time. That wasn't required last year on bb.

In order to book a room in your name, you would have to be on the current reservation or either have your parents book a room under each of their names. I booked a bb last year and had myself, my son and his boys on the reservation. My youngest dd booked the same dates when free dining came out so we are both planning to book a room each and I'll probably book one in my son's name also as now my other dd wants to go at that time next year but she is not on the reservation for this year.

Thanks. That is what I was thinking too. If they require 3 night minimum then probably require 2 day tickets. Planned on getting the PH anyway but guess I will book the minimum days required and then add to once plans are finalized closer to next October.

Anyone know.. ... 1. Can I book 2 rooms with different lengths of stay? (My DH and I will both be on our reservation next month.) For example, 1 room for 3 nights, 1 room for 5 nights?
2. Can we book with the BB more than once? For example, can we book rooms for different weeks even if there are? For example, 1 or 2 rooms last week of September and 1 or 2 rooms the first week of October? (as long as the dates still fall in arrival nights listed)

When we booked our RO BB last year the CM said that we could book as many BB vacations as we wanted. We only booked one BB trip, though.

Keep in mind that the free dining BB requires a ticket purchase. I would think that each of you can book different dates and lengths of stays.

So they require a park hopper ticket for the BB? we were planning on MYW tickets, not hoppers. This is good to know since I've never done BB before.

Quite right! The plan was for each adult to book in their name and we would link our MDE accounts for ADRs, tickets, etc. Still hoping this works...

 

[hicksnichols]

One last question: If we are staying this year renting points, are we eligible for the BB? I'm thinking yes since my name will be on the reservation; but I want to make sure so I'm not disappointed once we get there! Don't want anything to mess up the magic once I'm there. I can handle disappointment in Kentucky. Just not in WDW.

I don't see why not. I booked a bb room for a value while staying at a moderate. I had to ask for value info as it wasn't printed in my bb book thingie. I actually just modified a res I'd already had.
