Welcome to planDisney, Ed! It sounds like your recent visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth has left you interested in booking another trip - this always happens to me, too! As soon as I get home, I find myself daydreaming about returning to the magic and usually find myself booking another trip to help soothe the "Disney blues".
Bounceback offers are special offers for Disney Resort hotel guests that usually offer a room discount on a future stay if booked within seven days of checking out from your most recent vacation. My panelist pal
Lauren recently shared that on her latest visit to
Disney's Contemporary Resort, she found a pamphlet with the bounceback offer in her hotel room; other guests have reported the details to be available on in-room television or in an email sent directly to the guest. For future stays when you might want to take advantage of a bounceback offer, be sure to look around your resort room or call the front desk or the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations phone line to inquire about details during or immediately after your stay! It sounds like your last stay was a little longer than seven days ago, so unfortunately, the offer window has expired, but I'm happy to offer you a few suggestions for how to make your dreams of another visit hopefully come true!
My first recommendation would be to take a look at the other current
Special Offers available online to see if any of them might be a comparable offer for your family's next vacation. Currently, there are both
room and
ticket offers that might help you get back to the magic sooner rather than later! Another option would be to follow along on the
Disney Parks Blog for new, updated offers as they are released. This is the best official source to get updates on parks, resorts, special offers, and more! In fact, just today they released details about the upcoming Spooky Season festivities coming soon as we celebrate
Halfway to Halloween!
I hope this helps, Ed, and I hope you get to bouncing back to the Walt Disney World Resort whenever you're ready! Like my favorite bouncing Tigger reminds us, no other vacation is more "fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!"
TTFN (Ta-Ta For Now!),
Alison
