    I have a bounce back reservation for December but I actually want to change it to January 2027. Have the dates opened up for the bounce back in 2027

    Hiya Travis,

    Welcome to planDisney! Nothing helps you cope with the sadness of one Walt Disney World Resort ending than having a reservation for another!

    Speaking of reservations, I’m glad that you took advantage of the Bounce Back offer during your last vacation, Travis. It really is a great way to save on your stay! As you know, the Bounce Back offers for 2027 haven’t been announced yet, so you can't make reservations for January 2027 using that special offer at this time. I spoke to a Cast Member, and she told me that typically Walt Disney World Resort releases Bounce Back offers for the upcoming year in late Summer. Once released, you should be able to change your reservation date to January 2027 (subject to availability and eligibility guidelines). She suggested that you check back with a Cast Member in Tickets and Hotel Reservations around August-September to see if the special offer has been released yet and if you can apply it to a change of date in January 2027.

    I hope this was helpful, Travis! January is one of my favorite times to visit Walt Disney World Resort because the weather hasn’t gotten too warm yet, so I hope you get to visit then. Depending on how long you will be visiting, you may also be there for the start of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. The dates haven't been announced yet, but this festival is becoming one of my favorites. I always love the artistic take on yummy bites and the incredible art showcased for purchase. Keep an eye on Disney Parks Blog for the announcements about the festival and all of the other happenings at Walt Disney World Resort. Please come back and see us if you need anything else.

    Happy Planning,

    Ashley F.
