A brand new bounceback offer started today in Walt Disney World Resort hotels and it’s a really interesting one. The offer is for Free Dining and it will be for select travel dates in 2017 so see if this is for you in the details below.
The bounceback offer will be on the paperwork that is left in your room and if it isn’t, you can call extension 8844 from your Disney Resort hotel room. The offer must be booked before checking out from your current trip.
Here are the full details for the current bounceback offer:

So does this mean all of fall is excluded?(sept-dec 7th)
For this bounceback offer….that is correct.
So basically all of fall is excluded? Not many dates that aren’t excluded if reading your excluded dates right!
Thanks for sharing! Is the bounce back available for passholders?
It is available for anyone who wishes to book it and who is staying at a WDW Resort during the booking dates. Minimum requirements must be met though and that could include tickets.
Is it the normal 3 night minimum or must be for the 6 night minimum as stated?
Thank you
Check with Disney as I’m getting differing information even from them. I will tell you that the flyer is not entirely accurate and I’ve gotten that confirmation directly from Disney.
What good is this offer ?
Most dates are excluded , does not make sense !
I come every fall to Disney and stay at their resorts .
Disney is getting harder for the average family to afford
Looking into staying off Disney properity for next year.
Prices are getting very high !
I have reservation in sept can i book bb now or do i have to wait
You must book it during your stay.
Darn it !! I have reservations for mid December. That’s not fair !!! I’m going to be booking a trip for October next year and that would have been handy !!!!
If you check in on June 6th 2017 and stayed for a week-would you still be eligible for this offer?
Your check-in date would need to fall in the eligible dates.
I’m confused. How does this work?
You have to be staying in a Disney Resort
You call and make reservation for your next visit with the discount.
MINIMUM payment is $200 deposit
must buy 2 day ticket choice one park one day with water park & more or 2 day parkhopper ticket for all in the room (everyone even passholders must buy the tickets to get the deal ) NO FREE FOOD UNLESS YOU BUY TICKETS
If you have a prefer room / resort you can go ahead and book the room before going to Disney, and then some time after you check in, you can ask to apply the discount to your already booked room.
Can more than one room be booked with offer if travelling with a large family?
Last year when we went, I was told could book up to 3 rooms
I guess Pop is excluded?
Why bother? Most of the dates that people would plan to go are excluded! I like how they lost May 30-Dec 20 and then proceed to exclude most of it. Disney’s “offers” are really pretty useless anymore!
While it is true that WDW excluded more of the fall this year, it is still a great offer and lots of dates are offered. There are 60 check-in dates included, including the 4th of July and weeks close to Christmas. We will be going 12/9 – 12/16 and can’t wait!
Does this offer exclude the first two weeks of April 2017?
It is not good for April at all per the dates listed.
Are you eligible for the bounce back if you are a DVC member, saying on points?
Anyone is eligible for a bounceback offer as it is for a FUTURE vacation stay. You simply have to fulfill all the requirements of the discount which would mean NOT booking with DVC points.
Can you book two rooms with a bouceback offer or just one?
Rooms can be booked ONE per person on a bounceback offer. So, if there are multiple adults in the room while there…each can book a room on the offer.
it says you need to have a 2day park hopper. if you add that in which why use it when you stay at one park all day long it adds up to be the same price as if you just added the dinning plan or am i not reading this correctly
must buy 2 day ticket choice one park one day with water park & more
or
2 day parkhopper ticket for all in the room
Do we have to check In or check out by sept 10 2017?
Your check-in date would need to fall in the dates.
Hi, we are leaving tomorrow for Disney and the reservation is in my mom’s name because she was mailed a pin code. Can I book the Bounce Back offer in my name? Thanks for the info!
Any adults in the room can book the bounceback…your current trip has nothing to do with any future trips except that you must be present to book the bounceback.
If I wanted to book this bounce back could I go to WDW stay the night to get this bounce back deal and come home?
All you would need to do is a have a resort stay and book the bounceback while there. Doesn’t matter if it is just a one-night stay.
I just called and spoke to a Cast Member at the Ph # above
I was t old it only needs to be a minimum 3 night stay with a 2 day park hopper ticket
2 questions. If you make a room only reservation and do online check-in could you theoretically book this without being there? Also the flyer says that the offer includes 1 sit down and 1 quick service but doesnt mention the value resorts only getting the quick service meal plan. So what would a reservation at like All star Music receive?
The value resorts get the free quick service plan. You can upgrade to any of the other dining plans by paying the difference. So All Star Music would get the free quick service plan.
I am with you as far as your bounce back offer question. Do you have to be onsite to book the bounce back offer or could you hypothetically book a room for 1 night and then during that time, call the 1800 number from wherever you live to book the bounce back? I see this as a loop hole in the promotion. And if it’s true, this may be the cheaper way to get free dining. Sure you’re out $100 or so for a 1 night “ghost” stay at a value resort, but then you are guaranteed free dining because you booked the bounce back.
I’m not one to cheat the system, but…
*just left Disney last week and booked the bounce back offer before I checked out.
This is what I received from my TA:
“To get the Free Dining Bounce Back Offer, you have to have been booked with Free Dining on the trip you are on when you re-book. To qualify for Free Dining you have to stay a minimum of 2 – 3 nights.
So a guest who is at Disney now, with no discount on their vacation package, would not be able to qualify for Free Dining Bounce Back.”
I’m not sure how accurate that is, because nowhere on the flier does it say you have to already be booked with free dining.
TA is wrong about that one.
Yeah, that information about needing to be booked with free dining to GET the free dining bounceback offer is entirely inaccurate.
In my case I have 4 nights booked at Shades of Green. If I add a day prior to that and stay at a Disney hotel would I qualify for free dining on the next trip? I have bought the park hopper passes already from SOG.
You would need to fulfill all requirements of the package in order to get the discount…which means purchasing more tickets.
Have they eliminated a room only discount for a bounce back offer in 201?. As an example, I stayed on Disney property in December 2015 and received a bounce back reduced rate for a stay in April 2016
I meant 2017 not 201?
Oh dang it…we are going to be staying from June 15 – 23rd. Exactly inside the period that is excluded 🙁
Bad luck I guess
Disney usually offers free dining every fall. If they offer free dining for 2017 will it have the same dates as this bounce back offer?
Some dates may be, some dates may not be…if it is even offered to the general public. This bounceback offer is really not a great indicator for what may come out later because so much could change including dates, details, and resorts.
If you book a date, are you allowed to change it?
