free dining bounceback for 2009

[BigB911]

Am I understanding this correctly? $74 per night AND includes base ticket (1 park per day)???

I hope I get a flyer on 09/24!

I have a question about the flyer for the bounceback... The flyer states the example for a family of four staying at the AKL for 2276.00, what if you only have 2 in your family do you get the same deal only cheaper or how does that work?
and it would just be an additional price for the park hopper.

Yes, but that's per person based on 4.

Yes, it would be cheaper. It's not proportional, though. It wouldn't be half that price, but it would be cheaper.

The All-Star Sports Resort was offering this last September when we were there. The flyer was in our room and it saved you around $400 total if you booked before you checked out for the following year. This offer did offer the dining package with it. I was wondering if they were going to offer this again!! It is good to know so when I am there next week I will go ahead and put down my deposit for next September!!

When we arrived at CS on Sunday the 24th, we had a flyer in our room offering the regular dining plan free for packages booked during our stay, good for stays from 8/23/09 through 10/1/09.

The flyer listed prices only for moderate and deluxe, but the CM I booked with told me the offer also applied to values, and that the flyers were being distributed at the values also.

I spoke to 2 different CMs who both assured me that this was for the regular dining plan and not for the forthcoming fast food dining plan.

I can't find any mention of this offer in any existing threads on this site, even though the flyers have been out there for 9 days already.

Will these flyers be gone by mid-October?

Even if they run out of flyers, the deal should be available if your check-out date is by October 24. The flyer indicates that is the last date to book the free dinign bounceback.

That's cool!

Is there any loss of deposit if you subsequently have to cancel?

OK I am going solo on the 20th of September and hoping that the flier is in my room. Now I will take advantage however can I book different then what I am staying? In other words I would like to book next for my son and parents at a deluxe hotel but I am staying by myself at a value. Is it possible to book it?

Yes, if you qualify for the bounceback you can book for next year at any value, mod or deluxe, regardless of where you are staying on your upcoming trip.

What makes you 'qualify'?
Just staying on site during the booking dates?

What about a family of five? Do they still offer it for the 5th person in the room at a Mod?

Yes, but you will be limited to the Alligator Alley section of PO-Riverside. They will not book a 5th person (unless it's an infant) in a single room at the other mods.

Plus - the 2009 DDP dates (8/23/09 - 10/1/09) extend longer than the 2008 dates (8/24/08-9/20/08):

The bounceback period generally does not coincide with the period covered by the offer that's announced the next April. The period covered by the April offer may be determined in part by response to the bounceback. For example, if we all book late September dates for the bounceback, the April offer may go only to Sept. 20 or so. The market for bookings may look different next spring from the way it looks now.

Question:

My mother and I are taking a trip at the end of september and are looking at doing the bounce back.

We are sharing a room this go round so we could stay at the Poly, but if we wanted to book the bounce back could we get two rooms if I put one under my name and she put one under hers?

The new reservation has to be in the same name as the reservation you have now... I'm pretty sure! You could still book two rooms but I think the reservation has to be in the same name as the one you hold now. I guess that's how they kept this exclusive to the ones who are currently booked at their resorts!?!

So what would the Discount be for staying at the Poly then if the AKL is 2274 based on 4 ppl.... would it be the same or a little more expensive.

That sounds logical. I guess we'll have to work out the details when we get there.

From what I understand it is still a Free Dining bounce back but since the regular season rates (vs. value rates) start on the 2ed of Oct. the nightly fee will be increased to the regular rack rate per night instead of the value rack rate per night.

This would be excellent if so! The Dining Plan fits our family very well and if it is Free Even Better! :sohappy:

 

[brianheather]

So how much would it be to stay at the Poly (during value season) with the free dining?

It would be the price of staying at the Poly without the dining plan, since it's free. Depends on the number of days, occupants, ticket length, options, etc. You can book it through the website to get an idea of the cost.

So they don't give you a room discount as well they are just offering the ability to get the free dining again.

Actually the discount is the same wherever you stay, because it's equal to the value of the DDP. The discount is listed as $654 on the flyer, which assumes 5 days of free dining for a 4-person family: 2 adults, 1 kid age 10 or over and another under 10.

The package for Poly is more expensive than for AKL, because the rooms cost more. But the discount is the same for Poly, AK, PO, Pop, etc.
