"Future Stay" Discount Returns for Guests Vacationing 8/31/07 - 9/28/07

[Disneytravels]

I called the other night to ask about this before we leave so we could get all our ducks in a row, I was told that you can only book 1 room for each adult booked into the room this year. As such with it just being my wife and I, we can have 2 rooms next year as long as one of us is one each room, but we were told we couldn't get a third room. Someone previously posted that you can book up to 3 rooms with the Bounceback promotion. Can anyone verify this one way or the other with first hand knowledge?

Cheers,

Brian

Sorry.. When I called they didn't make it clear it was for every adult and we have three....

We booked this when we were there last week. They offered the deluxe dining plan and she said it might be beneficial since we are going the last few days of Sept. into October so the Food and Wine Festival will be going on at that time. She said the extra snacks and meals might come in handy for that. I'm not convinced though... part of me would rather take that money and upgrade the resort. Anyone know how much WL or AKL is for that time of year?

I have never use MJ before. From all of the glowing recommendations here, I thought I would for our next trip. Then, I find out about the free dining promotion that is offered while we are at WDW in a week. I can hardly stand that RR is down for rehab. I need my fix. So, we have decided to take advantage of the offer and go back again next year and ride RR twice as many times. Since we have to book the trip while there, is there any reason to also contact MJ? Thanks for any insights.

We've never used MJ either (MIL is a travel agent in CA), but we booked directly with Disney to start with on the first day free dining became available to the public so we could make sure and get the hotel we wanted. We then transferred the reservation to her and she took it over.

I will warn you that it MIGHT cause you problems to do that (we've had trouble getting our DME tags, MYW package stuff, etc.), but from everything I've read about MJ they are much more familiar working with Disney travel so you may not have the same problems.

[drhama]

Thank you for your input. I have contacted MJ and found out what we need to do. I will contact them again we get back.

This is why I LOVE Intercot!! I can not imagine going into this deal flying blind! I'm a PLANNER!!

Couple quick questions...

We arrive POFQ on the 22nd (The last day of this years free dining) for 10 days. With the Bounce Back deal are we able to book the last day (9/27/08) and extend into October, like we did this year?

Is this deal open to all resorts? All rooms? All Star Suites? Wilderness Cabins? Deluxe?

Just gettin' my ducks in a row! 8 Days, 3 hours, 45 minutes, 2 seconds... But who's counting!

Thanks in advance for your knowledge!

[Lucyrella]

Okay, I truly feel left out that this wasn't offered to us during our stay of 8/26 to 9/2. From what I am reading it was for those on property from 8/28 to 9/28, so why were we not notified??? Good question, so I have called Disney and they directed me to call the resort manager directly. So I did, and they are all in a meeting... so they are suppose to call me back. I will let you all know what they tell me.

Per the information currently available, yes.

Typically a Guest's vacation needs to start prior to the end of the period to incur the promotion for the full length of stay, although there may be a cap on on that length of stay.

Is this deal open to all resorts? All rooms? All Star Suites? Wilderness Cabins? Deluxe?

All resorts, although there is likely limited availability.

Units like Suites and Cabins do not typically participate in such discounts, this deal is likely no exception.

Please keep us posted, Lucyrella. We, too, were in WDW from 8-29-9/4, and were never made aware of this promotion. I am very disappointed as we have gone to WDW in Aug or Sept the past 4 years. I'm anxious to hear what you find out!

[Crow]

but what kind of room rates are we talking?

[BelleLovesTheBeast]

Lucyrella I never been offered this either. I have been very disappointed in most (not all) of people I've dealt with in regards to my reservation and ADRs. I have called 15 - 20 times since April and have only 2 great reps. I am looking forward to hearing what they tell you and seeing if they offer this to me when I go later this week.

[Nicki'sMom]

I am upset because I was just there and I didn't see anything about this offer and nobody offered it to me. All I saw was Disney Vacation Club desks everywhere. Too bad.

[Rileylightyear]

I too was on vacation at the all star sports from 9/1/07-9/8/07 and was never offered this special. I called CS and they told me it was to late because I had left. I then ask to speak to a manager and got the same response. We also had some friends there at the same time that never seen anything in their room also. I explained to the manager if we had know this we would have booked our trip for next year. Very disappointed in Disney on this one.

Here is the letter that is put in your room for the future stay bounce back offer. They do confirm that you are currently on property before you book the trip. Sorry the picture of the other letter didn't come out well so I didn't include it.

[jhoshowski]

We didn't get the letter, but I did see a little blurb on one of the resort TV channels about calling extension 8844 for a special vacation offer. It helped that I was actually looking for it - if not, I may have missed it altogether.

[Crow]

Ill be at Pop tomorrow morning for my stay so will see what they offer. interested in the prices to compare if i can do better w AP n DDE....(probably)

[ariel03]

Here is the second part of the letter. I found it in my luggage.
I blacked out the phone number to keep it fair to those staying on property.

Thanks for posting it.

I'm taking it with us when we fly out in the morning just in case we don't get a flyer in our room. We had not originally planned to go back again so soon, but are thinking about it now with the free dining offer. Not as attractive as this year's plan, but still beats buying meals on your own for a family of four.

Hopefully, the crowds, service, food quality and weather are all good.

[DisneyLuvnNooks]

We will be going to Disney on the 22nd and will probably be taking advantage of this offer. However, we're not sure how many nights we'll want to stay in 2008 (either 7 or 9). So does anyone know if we'll be able to change the length of our stay once we've booked our package? And would we be better off to book 9 nights and possibly have to shorten it to 7, or book 7 nights and lengthen it to 9?

I think it is better to book for more nights than you need so you are booked and can cancel a couple of nights, if you book for less nights and then decide to add more , the room might not be available.

[kathiep]

For anyone planning on doing this, just something to think about.

We just left yesterday, so we did our future stay on Friday.

When I made the basic reservation, I was surprised when I wasn't offered to upgrade from the free dining plan and pay the difference to get the deluxe dining.

The CM on the phone had no idea what I was talking about. But I had read here where others were given this option. Well, after checking with several supervisors, at my request, she was completely suprised that this could be done.

If you are even considering selecting the deluxe dining plan, be sure the CM knows that you are still eligible for the free dining and would only have to pay for the upgrade to the deluxe.
