Adding Dining plan later.. Fees?

[bizziemom]

Searched and searched, blogs, forums, websites, but can't seen to find a straight answer. If I add the dining plan to our package at check in (or after the 30 day payoff mark), will Disney charge a reservation fee? And if so, what are the fees? Does anyone have experience with this?
Ideally I'd like to wait till the last minute to add dining, it gives us more time to save.

You must add the Dining Plan 3 days before your arrival date.

No fees for changes that result in an increase in your total.
They do have change fees when the changes results in a lower total, however, they have always waived this fee for us.

You can't add it at check-in. Must be added to a package no later than 3 days before arrival.

If you make a change to a reservation that results in a higher total, they usually waive the general change fee. However, there may also be an additional fee if you make any changes to a package within 14 days of arrival.

• You can change or cancel your reservation without penalty up until 31 days in advance. Cancellations made 30 days to 2 days prior to arrival have a cancellation fee of $200 per package, but if reservations are cancelled 1 day prior to arrival or later, the full package price is non-refundable. You’ll also lose any nonrefundable elements, such as travel insurance and airfare — see below. No-shows will not receive any refund.
• After you’ve made final payment, any changes, such as applying a discount code, changing number of days and/or changing to a different resort, are subject to a $50 change fee and a $15 processing fee. Technically this is due whether the final cost is lower or higher, but if you’re changing to a higher-priced package, they will generally waive the change fees.
