Hi, Shelley! Welcome back to
planDisney; I'm so excited to see you are planning for another visit! You sound a lot like me - always dreaming of your next
Walt Disney World Resort booking, even before you've finished the current one! Who can blame us, right? With so much to see and do, each trip is a different experience and the parks consistently deliver magic and memories!
It's been a while since I've personally booked a bounce-back offer; I remember one time calling from the front seat of the car as my husband drove us home and arranging our bounce-back details over the phone - it certainly made the sting of leaving the Most Magical Place on Earth a little more bearable knowing we would be coming back soon!
After chatting with some friends who have recently visited the Walt Disney World Resort and a friendly Cast Member, it does seem that there is a current bounce-back for
Disney Resort hotel guests for bookings through the end of 2024 at this time. As always, special offers and promotions are subject to change at any time, and since you will be visiting closer to the end of this year, I'm almost positive if we were able to look into Madame Leota's crystal ball, we might find some later dates in a bounce-back towards the end of this year. Of course, I'm just a foolish mortal myself, so your best strategy is going to be to wait and see what materializes in the coming months! I always recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for announcements about special offers as well, and if you have any family or friends visiting the parks soon, you can always inquire if they saw offers for a bounce-back deal so that they could share the details with you!
Another option is to reach out to a Cast Member at the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations phone number closer to your trip, or upon your arrival, to inquire about bounce-back dates. Remember that the current policy for booking these offers is to do so within seven days of your check-out date. Sounds like it could be an excellent early Christmas gift!
And speaking of Christmas, I'd love to chat about the magic of the holiday season at Walt Disney World! Visiting in December brings a special kind of magic with the twinkling lights, sights, sounds, and even smells of Christmas! If you get a chance to attend
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom Park, you'll even see snow fall on Main Street, U.S.A. And the Candlelight Processional at EPCOT is an absolutely beautiful way to hear the story of Christmas. I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for the return of my favorite holiday drink - the Winterberry Margarita at Disney's Hollywood Studios!
Shelley, I hope this information is helpful, and I hope you will get the bounce-back offer for 2025 so you can keep returning to the magic again and again. I know for me, there's no place I'd rather be!
See you real soon,
Alison
