These particular affords are one of the best ways to guide reductions over a 12 months upfront and sometimes have the perfect, earliest & best financial savings. This publish shares eligible 2025 dates & particulars, tips on how to reap the benefits of these highly-coveted WDW offers, potential 2025 Free Eating implications, and extra.
Now formally known as “Future Keep Presents” by Walt Disney World, bounce-back reductions are solely obtainable to present vacationers staying at one among Walt Disney World’s resort inns. These have been as soon as obtainable solely throughout stays, however that has modified within the final couple of years. Now you possibly can name as much as per week after check-out out of your Walt Disney World resort.
Bounceback affords are sometimes the finest strategy to guide common reductions, however they are often complicated, elusive, and deceptively difficult–all including to their mystique and recognition. Bouncebacks returned final summer time with a room-only provide of 25% to 35% off, making them on par with the perfect focused offers of the 12 months…however with out requiring an AP, Disney Visa, Disney+ subscription, Florida residency, and so forth. We’ll cowl extra of the ins and outs later within the publish, however let’s begin with the information in regards to the return of bounceback affords at Walt Disney World…
Let’s begin with the 2024-2025 Future Keep Provide particulars, so you understand what to anticipate from the most recent spherical of bounceback offers, and whether or not they’ll work to your journey dates:

Right here’s a greater take a look at the bounceback provide for 2025 that has been launched to resort friends at Walt Disney World:
The 2025 Resort Future Keep Provide excludes 3-bedroom Grand Villas, Bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows, Cascade Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, and the brand new Disney Trip Membership Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort.
As famous above, journey dates now by means of Could 23, 2024 are additionally eligible for bouncebacks. We all know this as a result of we have been simply at Walt Disney World and checked out the bounceback fliers in each of the rooms we stayed in. None of these had the 2025 dates (but), however that they had been refreshed in the beginning of the EPCOT Flower & Backyard Competition to take away dates that had already handed.
Talking of which, we’ve achieved a couple of dozen stays because the future keep provide rolled out final summer time, and have been lucky to search out it in all of our resort lodge rooms and Disney Trip Membership villas. I do know this as a result of I’ve checked each single time to see whether or not a brand new bounceback has been launched. To this point, it’s simply been rolling updates of the room-only deal, which is basically what we’re seeing with the 2025 extension.
In case you’re looking for the flier for future keep affords, it’s possible going to be tucked away within the “Your Take-Alongside Information to the Magic” (pictured beneath) that’s normally left within the room beneath the tv, on a bedside desk or desk. All of ours have had the bounceback flier in the back of that information.
Right here’s every thing else that we’ve discovered about bounceback offers at Walt Disney World for 2024 and 2025:
- Emails are inconsistent. Some readers have reported them arriving instantly at checkout and others under no circumstances. We have now not obtained a single e mail about future keep affords following our stays. (Electronic mail being hit and miss is fairly typical for Walt Disney World communications; should you don’t obtain something, both test your spam folder or name.)
- Eligibility to guide bouncebacks is NOT dependent upon receiving the e-mail. Whenever you name to guide, the reservations heart Solid Member will have the ability to verify whether or not or not you’re eligible by wanting up your previous reservation. (The corollary to that is it additionally implies that receiving a forwarded bounceback e mail with no accompanying accomplished keep gained’t do something for you!)
- Fairly than hassling with this whereas on trip from the in-room telephone, name 407-934-7639 after departing. You will have 7 days from checkout to do this, so no have to hassle when you’re nonetheless on trip at Walt Disney World.
- Every grownup on the unique reservation can guide bounceback affords. You can even guide a number of future stays from one unique reservation, which means that one keep this 12 months may turn into a number of discounted stays subsequent 12 months.
- As with all reductions, availability is proscribed. The “rarer” the room class (e.g. suites), extra common the resort, or busier your dates, the much less possible you’re to have success. Deluxe Villas at all times have few choices as a result of the reservations heart doesn’t management a lot of the stock at DVC resorts. Nonetheless, the choices are nonetheless much better for this than the common deal.
- Resort of your present keep or the way it was booked has no bearing in your future keep provide. As mentioned beneath, you possibly can do a 1-night DVC level rental and guide a number of week-long bounceback affords at Pop Century for 2025.
That’s every thing we all know that feels value sharing, nevertheless it’s potential we’re overlooking particulars that you just would possibly discover vital, so be at liberty to ask any questions you may need within the feedback–we’ll reply to the perfect of our data and expertise.
All is that this works just about identically to bounceback affords pre-closure. The one materials modifications are the e-mail at checkout (that, once more, I’ve by no means obtained) and having the ability to name after departing Walt Disney World. These are two large tweaks which are materials enhancements to the Future Keep Presents.
As at all times, the most important barrier to reserving bounceback affords is data. After you have that–and you’ll after studying this–then bounceback affords are no doubt the simplest and most hassle-free strategy to guide common reductions.
Longtime Walt Disney World dealhounds is perhaps questioning in regards to the potential implications for Free Eating, which is the definitive Walt Disney World low cost. Free Eating overshadows all else, and it’s just about at all times front-of-mind each time reductions or Disney Eating Plan information is launched.
There was no Free Eating Bounceback final 12 months and now that this Future Keep Provide is being launched for journey dates by means of October 2025, you is perhaps nervous about the identical being true this 12 months. I hesitate to make any assured predictions provided that the Free Eating Bounceback hasn’t been provided since 2019, and clearly rather a lot can change over the course of 5 years.
With that caveat, what I can say is that the dates for this provide and the shortage of 2024 Free Eating Bounceback are irrelevant. It wasn’t provided for this 12 months as a result of the Disney Eating Plan was introduced again too late for that. Moreover, journey dates for bouncebacks usually overlap.
To that time, this 2025 Bounceback Deal is totally per 2019 and earlier. Nicely, for essentially the most half. Again within the pre-closure days, the next 12 months’s bounceback would’ve come out in the direction of the beginning of the 12 months, and instantly converted to the next 12 months’s journey dates at the moment. It wasn’t achieved on a rolling foundation with the present 12 months’s journey dates remaining obtainable.
Again in 2019, the early room-only bounceback deal encompassed journey dates for many of 2020. Similar story again in 2018. I can’t recall when, precisely, these bouncebacks have been launched in rooms, however I wish to say January. Regardless, the room-only offers usually have dates stretching to December of the next 12 months, and that by no means precluded Free Eating previously.
In each years, the Free Eating Bounceback was launched in rooms in late July or early August (proper across the first arrivals for that 12 months’s model of Free Eating) and stayed in rooms for a number of months thereafter. Generally this final by means of the top of October, generally by means of the top of the calendar 12 months. After the Free Eating Bounceback ended, a room-only provide would return.
Provided that Walt Disney World is in any other case pulling from the “2019 playbook” for reductions, I feel there’s an excellent probability {that a} Free Eating Bounceback to return to rooms later this summer time or early fall. Not solely is WDW very intently following the particular provide technique of 2019, however in addition they clearly desire a extra focused model of Free Eating by releasing solely to Disney+ subscribers and Disney Visa cardholders–and never most people.
Nicely, few affords are as narrowly-tailored as bouncebacks. They entice repeat visits, making them a good way to focus on friends who would possibly want a larger incentive to return the next 12 months (since they have been simply there). That is exactly why Walt Disney World affords higher offers for Florida residents and Annual Passholders–as a result of they should do extra to lure them to remain on-site. Related story with bouncebacks, which is why the financial savings are superior within the first place!
As for timing, if the 2025 Free Eating Bounceback occurs, I’d anticipate to see it present up in rooms no sooner than July 1, 2024. Extra possible, it’ll seem later within the month or as soon as the August low season rolls round. That supply being obtainable by means of a minimum of late October could be per previous precedent, and it may stick round in rooms in the course of the vacation season.
About the one purpose I may see the Free Eating Bounceback not returning for 2025 is that if Disney forgets about it. That may sound jokey, and it sorta is, however Future Keep Presents are a really area of interest factor that’s below the radar–even internally. Most Solid Members, even ones on the resorts, don’t have any clue what they’re. Even the reservations groups should not as well-versed in bouncebacks as most different offers.
Odd as it’d sound, there’s a situation the place the Free Eating Bounceback will not be provided, and it’s for no different purpose than a easy oversight. I don’t anticipate this to be the case, as Walt Disney World is already digging deep into the 2019 playbook for reductions with different obscure affords, nevertheless it’s a chance. In any other case, there’s each purpose to imagine the Free Eating Bounceback can be again for 2025. All different offers have been returning that will precede it.
So, who isn’t eligible to guide Future Keep Presents? It needs to be apparent, however anybody who doesn’t have a present keep. Additionally, anybody who’s at Walt Disney World, however is staying off-site or in third-party inns.
It is advisable be staying at a Disney-owned lodge with a view to reap the benefits of the Future Keep Presents. Swan & Dolphin should not Disney-owned, nor are Bonnet Creek or Disney Springs Resorts. In case your resort is managed by a real-world hotelier like Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, 4 Seasons, and so forth–it’s not Disney-owned.
It additionally doesn’t matter if you can be arriving quickly at Walt Disney World–you aren’t eligible to guide except you’re at present staying in a Disney-owned lodge at Walt Disney World, or are throughout the window following check-out. Past that, it doesn’t matter wherein WDW lodge you’re presently staying or which promotion you’ve booked your present keep below.
Amongst diehard Walt Disney World planners, it’s extremely popular to do a strategic quick keep in the course of the bounceback window to make your self eligible for the next 12 months’s bounceback provide. (It most ceaselessly was achieved for Free Eating, however we’ve heard of some folks doing it for different affords!) This isn’t as loopy of an thought as it’d sound!
You would possibly keep in mind the fictional Costanza household from New York, who’ve booked quite a lot of pretend holidays in previous weblog posts on this web site. The Costanza household now has 4 “Disney adults,” as their children have grown up (I do know you’re all on the sting of your seats with curiosity, so sure, they’ve added extra pet hamsters to their household–they now have 15!–however none of these can be becoming a member of them on this journey).
The Costanzas actually like the placement of the Magic Kingdom space inns, however they’re extremely frugal. As such, the Costanzas comply with the recommendation in our Suggestions for Renting Disney Trip Membership Factors publish, and guide a 1-night keep in a DVC Cabin at Fort Wilderness in mid-October 2024. After checking in, they arrive at their room to search out that there is no such thing as a flyer for the 2025 Resort Future Keep Provide of their room.
Cool as a cucumber and by no means one to get upset, Mr. Costanza picks up the in-room telephone and dials x8844. A Solid Member assists them in reserving for subsequent 12 months. Alternatively, since Mr. Costanza is on trip and doesn’t wish to take care of a name heart or being on maintain, he may merely contact his fee-free Licensed Disney Journey Planner, or journey agent.
In an ideal world, he’d give them a heads up about reserving this bounce-back earlier than his journey, which might make this a matter of a fast, one-line e mail throughout his journey. (We’ve achieved–and advocate–the latter method.)
Since they solely took a 1-night trip this 12 months, they go all out and guide a keep at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge for December 10 by means of 24, 2025. Though Mr. Costanza doesn’t have fun Christmas, and finds tinsel distracting, he finds the ambiance of Wilderness Lodge very gratifying in the course of the holidays. (The hope right here is that 2025 Free Eating is obtainable for these journey dates; if not, we’re assuming extra 2025 room-only bouncebacks can be launched at a later date.)
These considerably excessive instance ought to illustrate a number of vital factors:
- The way you booked your present keep doesn’t matter–it simply issues that you just’re staying in a Disney resort.
- It doesn’t matter in case your present resort or dates are excluded from the bounceback promo you wish to guide–you possibly can guide any eligible resort whereas staying at any Disney resort.
- Your present size of keep doesn’t matter.
- The flier not being in your room makes no distinction–dial x8844 and you may guide the bounce-back provide.
The primary three factors we’ve coated above in enough element (I hope) however the final level is worthy of elaboration. Mousekeeping is meant to leaves these fliers in each single room, however generally, that doesn’t occur. As you would possibly know from our previous posts, Mousekeeping is at present understaffed (and overworked) and generally oversights are made. It occurs.
We can not reiterate sufficient that dialing x8844 from the in-room telephone or 407-934-7639 out of your telephone is tips on how to guide the bounceback provide (should you booked your present stick with a journey agent, they’ll additionally deal with it for you, making this fully hassle-free for you).
Don’t name the entrance desk and don’t name the central reservations line. Whereas there’s a probability that Solid Members at both of these strains will have the ability to assist, there’s additionally an opportunity they gained’t. Walt Disney World is a extremely advanced group and it’s not cheap to anticipate each Solid Member to know each single factor in regards to the resort. That’s like anticipating somebody who performs Olaf in Frozen on Broadway to know each single factor about New York Metropolis.
In case you’ve learn the weblog publish so far, you already know extra about bounceback or future keep affords than ~98% of Solid Members. That’s not a knock on them! It’s inconceivable to know all of it. Any questions you possibly can have now are unlikely to be answerable by anybody however a Solid Member whose position particularly pertains to reserving bouncebacks.
The particular position of Solid Members at x8844 is reserving bounceback affords, so that they have specialised data of the promotions, and can be significantly better at serving to you. (Similar goes for journey brokers and having this specialised data.) Consider it like a physician. You would possibly completely adore your proctologist (mentioned nobody ever)…however it’s best to actually go to a neurosurgeon for an operation in your mind, reasonably than the butt physician.
In the end, reserving a bounceback provide is neither mind nor butt surgical procedure, even when our long-winded clarification would possibly make it appear simply as difficult. Hopefully, we’ve damaged these reductions down in a approach that is sensible and clarifies the who/how/when/and so forth. of Walt Disney World Future Keep Presents. We’re enormous followers of those offers, as they take numerous the stress out of reserving reductions–specifically, the ready and hoping there’s availability to your journey dates and resort. In case you get the prospect, we’d advocate reserving the Bounceback or Future Keep Provide as a security internet once you go to Walt Disney World.
