Welcome to planDisney, Christina, and thanks for this great question. I love a good discount, so let's see what's available for returning
Walt Disney World Resort guests.
Before the pandemic, the "bounce-back offer" was something resort guests could take advantage of by booking a future stay by the time they checked out of their current
Disney Resort Hotel. I once secured a bounce-back deal while driving home from my visit! These offers weren't always advertised but were available if guests inquired. This special offer disappeared during the pandemic, but I'm happy to say the bounce-back recently made a comeback!
Guest at Disney Resorts have reported seeing a notification on their in-room television about booking a discount for a future stay. On a recent visit, I had a flyer in my room with offer details. I also received an email about the bounce-back deal the day after I checked out, so guests are notified during and after a stay in several ways.
Unfortunately, there's not a link I can provide; it's almost like a top-secret deal for current guests. I like to imagine Mickey whispering to Donald that the guest in Room 1010 needs to be notified. Maybe I've watched too many spy movies! But be assured that if you have an upcoming stay, you should be eligible for a bounce-back discount for stays in 2024.
The information I received indicated that guests have to book their future stay within seven days of checking out, so that's a longer window than before. Discounts and eligible dates are subject to availability, but I got about 25% off a 2024 stay at
Disney's Pop Century Resort. Woot!
I also chatted with a frugal Cast Member who said you can call
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations even if you don't receive a notice about the bounce-back offer. Just be sure it's within the seven-day window and have your most recent confirmation number handy.
Although the bounce-back offer isn't listed, I suggest watching the
Special Offers page for more room and ticket deals. And the
Disney Parks Blog is another great place to get news as soon as it drops.
Christina, I hope the season finds you merry and jolly! Please
stop by planDisney anytime!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
