Booking Dining plan ... does it matter when?

[Corwin12]

I have a 10 night package in Decemebr under the million dreams special rate plan which expires on September 30th. Will I get a better deal if i add the dining plan on before September 30th versus waiting until next month?
Thanks

You have to add it at least two weeks before you arrive (last I heard) but since this is really a question about a discount code you will have more luck asking it on the resorts subboard "discounts and codes"

Another way to find out would be to call Disney and get a quote for adding it on now, then just do the math and see if the quote is lower than full price. Does that make sense?

The only time that the dining plan has been "free" is during check-ins from late August through September (2005 and 2006).

You had to book this in the spring (April timeframe).
