Help with a question about planning before codes come out?

Now the new policy for adrs is 180 days...right? So I'd like to book right now at the Dolphin since my DH is a SGP member. (looking at late August). However, I hope there may be a deal at the end of Aug(similiar to last years free dining) which you can not get through S/D. With the 180 day to book adrs, I know they attach the adrs to your room ressie. How do I book 180 days out (which will be Feb 20) if I don't know where I am staying yet?
Last year the free dining promo came out in June...So my dilema is.

Do I book with the Dolphin? Possibly lose all adr's book with that ressie (& can people staying the dolphin get 180 days out or are they 90 days still?)

Do I book a disney property (probably deluxe) that we can't afford to pay rack for & hope for a deal & be able to get all our adrs done by Feb 20?

I was so good at making plans at 90 days out, but 180 (for me) is just too many days away to plan! Help

You don't have to be staying onsite to book at the 180 day mark, only the 180 +10 is for onsite guests. I would just book on a daily basis for your stay and not have them linked to a reservation, that way if you swop and change between room only and packages etc. then you're adr's won't be cancelled. At least i think that is what would happen.
