How late to change from DP to Deluxe Dining?

[disneyluvrsX5]

Sorry, don't know all of the acronyms. We have a trip scheduled end of April. How late can we switch from the regular Dining Plan to the Deluxe? We are waffling about it. In one way, I would like to have all of our meals paid for up front. In another way, I think we will be eating the whole trip!

How late can I switch to the Deluxe? Is it by the 45 days out of do I have longer?

Thanks!

I believe it's 72 hours in advance but you'll have a change fee if its within a week or so.

Yeah, it's 3 days prior, as noted. There is a "last-minute" change fee, I believe it's $15, which is different from the normal package change fee of $50 (typically waived when upgrading to a more expensive package). Never heard of anyone getting the "last minute" fee waived.
