Bounceback Information and FAQ Thread - 25-35% off BOUNCEBACKS ARE BACK for 2024/2025! Updated 11/22/2024

In that case I may just leave it. I’d rather not risk losing the reservation all together as the csr wasn’t able to get the dates I wanted initially but eventually managed to get them. Losing $200 would be a drag but we fully intend to go. I just prefer less restrictive cancellation policies.

Totally understand that. But you are able to change a reservation within that cancellation period. If for some reason you can’t go, you should be able to change the reservation to a further out date, then cancel that one & get your deposit back.

I didn’t think of that! I figured there would be a restriction on modifying a reservation within that 2-29 day window. Thank you

Has anyone had success getting the bounce back offer modified now that more dates have been announced?

We booked a bounce back offer back in July for October 27-Nov 3 2025, but could only get the bounce back offer for the October dates since the November ones weren’t offered. Can we call and get the discount applied to the later dates of the trip now, or did that have to all be done within 7 days? Kinda a bummer if so since we didn’t have that option back in July!

You can modify to any available dates.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could book a Disneyland Trip as a BB while on a WDW trip, or vise versa... just had that thought pop into my overstressed Holiday mind...

Awesome! Do you know if I call the bounce back line or just the generic reservations line?

Edit: just read the FAQs on page 1 and I’ll call the bounce back line!

I know it's already been shared here, but just dropping in my report that I was able to book my early December bounceback online using the special offers link, AND am able to modify it online as well.

Keeping my options open to hopefully push into 2026 when announced, guessing I'll be waiting quite a while for that option though.

 

[WLSILVERCREEKSPRINGS]

Booked a bounce back offer online a week after we returned home. Then went in the next day and added a day as well as changed the dates with no issues. Was able to get a room at BC with a 33% discount to rack rates (including taxes).

I am coming to Disney in both May and September 2025 on Bounce back offers and when I come back I would love to do so again. Even though the dates for the bounce back only go so far in 2025, will I be able to book for 2026 dates? How does that work? TIA!

You'll be able to book using the BB offer for any dates that have been announced for the offer at the time you are eligible to book it. If the dates you want are not released yet when you are eligible, you can book a reservation for a date that is available in the hopes that you can modify it to the further out dates later when/if the dates are extended.

You have to lock in a Bounceback during your visit or within seven days of checkout. Once you lock in the offer you can modify the details (dates, room type, resort) any time up until check in.

This may not be true in all situations. If there is no availability for a BB offer, they won't change or honor the BB for different dates/resorts/room types, even if the original reservation was booked with a BB offer. You can modify but the BB discount has to be available for your new dates/resort/room type. You can continue to call and check (or modify on line, depending on when booked), but it's not guaranteed.

Obviously the room has to be available

Has the bb offer ended? We'll be back in a couple weeks and would like to take advantage of it for a stay later this year, but suspeting it ended 12/31/2024 but not 100% sure.
Thanks!

It ends 7 days after you check out and you will get an email notification. For instance I got notified that the offer ends in 1 day for me.

When you check in you will be eligible. You can book a room with BB right after checking in to your room (online check in is not enough).

 

[focusondisney]

@Dizzytime I was at YC & CR Christmas week. I did not get an email about the offer. But, there is still a card in the room with the offer. And there’s a short video about the offer on the guide station on the TV. When I signed into the WDW special offers page, the offer showed up for the full 7 days I was eligible. On day 8, it was gone. It’s the same room offer listed on in the first post of this thread.

 

[TISHLOVESDISNEY]

Just posting to not give up if the room you want isn't available at first.
I wanted WL CL for our split stay in July, but it wasn't available. (Booked BB about a month ago) tonight it was available. Got all 3 rooms switched over.

Did you have to call or could you modify online?

Modified online.
ETA I have been checking everyday hoping it'd show up.

I’m so jealous . Mine still says I need to call to call to change or cancel.

 

[didilovesdisney]

Well @TISHLOVESDISNEY I too never gave up. It took 5 phone calls but I finally got the BB dates in May and the standard room at Pop Century I wanted and saved 167 dollars also. Yay. But @jennab I too was like you and couldn't do anything online and had to call each time. But my point is don't give up. Keep trying even if it means calling for some of us. It's always nice getting the BB reservation you really want.
