Advantage to book now for Fall 2016?

[GoldenOwner]

I am planning a trip to WDW for Fall 2016. I'm hoping to get free dining, so I've tried to extrapolate what weeks might be included in that. I understand it may not be offered at all or that my extrapolations may be faulty! Is there an advantage to booking the package now or should I just wait until spring when (IF) free dining is offered? If I should book now should I add dining to the hotel/ticket package or just add that when I call once free dining is released? Thank you!

If your trip depends on having the discount, there's no advantage of booking a package now. If you will go whether you get a discount or not, and your dates are known, then you might as well book now, while your resort and room category is available.
