Hi there, Donna! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney - it's always a treat to welcome a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member. I wholeheartedly approve of thinking ahead to your next Disney adventure, and I'll be happy to share some information about Bounceback offers and how they apply for DVC stays. Let's hop to it!
A Bounceback - otherwise known as a "Future Stay Offer" - is a special offer that's often available after you check out of a
Disney Resort Hotel. If you book your next trip to
Walt Disney World within 7 days of your departure, you receive a discounted rate on a future cash stay. We discovered the Bounceback option years ago before we were DVC Members and got in the habit of using the offer to book our next trip "Home"!
I'm happy to report that DVC stays - whether booked with cash or
Vacation Points - are often eligible for Bounceback offers. However, the offer will only apply to a cash reservation and you will not be able to use points for that future stay. Bounceback offers may also come with some limitations on resort availability and blackout dates.
To see if you are eligible for a Bounceback offer, sign into your
My Disney Experience account on the Walt Disney World homepage. Under the "Places to Stay" section, select "View Special Offers", which will take you to a list of any applicable deals that you're eligible for. If the information isn't clear on the website, you can always
call the friendly folks at the Tickets and Hotel Reservations line. They'll be happy to walk you through any special offers and can make a booking for your Bounceback trip.
Donna, it's been a pleasure talking through some vacation tips with you! If we can help with any other details for your next Disney adventure, please come back and see us anytime.
Welcome Home!
