If 2 or 3 adults in a room in Aug 2018 how many rooms can they book for the bounceback in 2019?
As many as you’d like.

Just a word of caution to those who are considering purchasing offers if you are Annual Passholders. The tickets included in current Disney offers have a 'must be activated by' date. I believe the current activation date is December 31, 2019. So, if you have and AP and choose to book this offer and hold the passes to apply towards your AP reactivation, it would appear that you would need to purchase your new APs prior to Dec 31, 2019. This might work for many but if others were not planning on using the saved tickets until after Dec 31, 2019 or, renew your AP after Dec 31, 2019, the value of these tickets might be null when you go to use them.
I am not sure how all of this works but wanted to mention it. I was considering purchasing an AP during our trip last Jan and the CM I spoke with gave me this word of caution. Wanted to pass it along.
For August and September the dates are pretty similar to last year's bounceback. The public free dining offer usually has more september dates. Those June and July dates are pretty insane, though! I wonder if that's in anticipation of Galaxy's Edge opening in the fall - maybe they anticipate low crowds next summer too.
Does anyone have details on whether there is a BB Room Discount for 2019 at all? Was really hoping for something in April

I was there about 10 days ago and the crowds were better than my January trip! Except for the heat, it was actually really nice.Oh, ok. I book the room discounts & most of September was included with that one. There are posts saying crowds are pretty manageable the last few weeks, so I guess that explains July being included.

Any BB for April of next year were probably out much earlier this year. They tend to correlate somewhat with when you are there. I wouldn't expect to see a BB for April at this point, but there will probably be a general public discount of some kind.
We were there 1/28 to 2/04 and yeah, it wasn't pleasant. Crowds the 7/20-7/24 were at least half of what they were in January. How insane is that?We are there Jan 29 - Feb 1. Was definitely more crowded than we expected.

I wouldn't be surprise with all of the other value resorts being upgraded to Queen beds that we don't soon see the Little Mermaid rooms included in FD promotions or, upgraded to Queen beds and continue to be excluded. Time will tell. Not sure why they exclude some of the resorts they do.
May I ask if your DD is a Disney child (9 and under) or a Disney adult?
My DD will be 10 when we return next year so I'm going to need to sit down and crunch some numbers.
We're heading to WDW in 3 weeks for a quick surprise trip and I may book this BB. We are going in December for an 8 night stay and I had planned on upgrading our passes to Annual Passes at that time. If I do that then I would not qualify for the FD BB in 2019 as I would not need the passes and I'm not sure I'd want to pay for the passes and hold on to them for future use.
I’ll be there in 13 days!! Hoping to book this for next DecemberFor my family of three Disney adults and one Disney kid, it's definitely more of a savings than any other offer. I'm going to be there in 23 days and plan on booking this for a trip on Labor Day 2019. Will save us about $700

You’d have to run all the numbers. Disney math gives me a headache!
We’re a family of four with two Disney adult children (14 & 11). The FD BB is a no brainer for us. On average each year we save at least $2,500 on the DDP.
I like having our trip all included and all paid for. We’ve discussed APs for many years and it just never added up for us. Especially now that their almost $1,000 each!
For two people, the AP room discounts along with TIW card, might workout to a better deal for you.
Same! I think that must have been an anomoly but I'm interested to see how crowds pan out next Jan/Feb.We were there Jan 27 - Feb 4 this year and I was surprised how heavy the crowds were, especially towards the end of our stay. We were lined up outside for Michey's PhilharMagic as the entire cue inside was filled!! I've never experienced crowds like that!
Thanks! I'll run the numbers some morning. LOL - my math brain works much better in the morning!
The good thing is I can always book a FD BB when we're there and then wait to see what the next BB offer is for our December trip. Won't hurt to have the FD in my back pocket until I find out more about what's offered for next year.
Totally. You can always cancel a BB and get a refund - doesn't hurt to book it!Thanks! I'll run the numbers some morning. LOL - my math brain works much better in the morning!
