For Disney enthusiasts, the magic doesn’t have to end when you check out. Walt Disney World has extended its popular Resort Future Stay promotion—better known as the bounceback offer—through December 2025. This deal rewards guests with steep discounts on their next stay, giving you more reasons to plan your next adventure before your current trip is even over.

What Is the Bounceback Offer?

The bounceback offer is a special incentive that allows guests staying at a Walt Disney World resort to book their next visit at a significant discount. If you book a future stay within seven days of your current vacation, you can save:

  • Up to 35% on rooms at Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts
  • Up to 30% on rooms at Moderate Resorts
  • Up to 25% on rooms at Value Resorts

This offer is a win-win for Disney and its guests: Disney fills its rooms with repeat visitors, while fans save big on their next trip.

How It Works

Guests can find details about the offer on their in-room television during their stay. Additionally, Disney emails the bounceback details on the final day of your trip.

Previously, this deal could only be booked by calling Disney directly. But as of November 21, 2024, Disney made the process even more convenient by allowing guests to book online.

Extended Dates for 2025

Initially available for stays through October 2025, Disney has now extended the bounceback offer through the end of December 2025. This extension gives guests even more flexibility, including popular travel periods like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.

Here are the eligible travel dates for the bounceback offer:

  • November 25–27, 2024
  • December 1–24, 2024
  • January 2–8, 2025
  • Various dates throughout 2025, including spring, summer, and holiday seasons

With valid dates spanning nearly the entire year, this is one of the most flexible deals Disney has ever offered.

Why the Bounceback Offer Is a Game-Changer

For many Disney fans, planning the next vacation starts before the current one even ends. Whether it’s dreaming of a Christmas escape to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort or imagining a summer getaway at Caribbean Beach, the bounceback offer gives you the perfect excuse to return to the magic.

Additionally, booking another trip before leaving ensures you secure the best possible rates, as Disney’s resort prices typically increase over time.

With Universal’s Epic Universe opening in 2025, Disney is ramping up its promotional offers to stay competitive. This includes a wide array of discounts and deals designed to entice guests to return to Walt Disney World.

In 2024, Disney reintroduced several beloved discounts from its pre-pandemic “playbook,” including targeted offers and room promotions. This trend is likely to continue as Disney leans on special offers to maintain its appeal in a crowded Central Florida market.

  1. Book Early: Popular dates and rooms sell out quickly, especially during holidays and peak seasons.
  2. Compare Offers: Always crunch the numbers to ensure you’re getting the best deal for your travel plans.
  3. Be Flexible: Traveling during off-peak dates can unlock even greater savings.
  4. Stack Discounts: Some promotions, like free Park Hopper upgrades, can be combined with other deals.
