I may be wrong but I thought I remember reading somewhere on here, that people have booked a room only resv (that has a discount) and then added park tickets and dining.

Can you really do this? How doesn't it not turn it in to a regular price package? If the upcoming rumor is correct then I may consider this if my dates don't include the free dining.
 
Some room only discounts offer package upsells. Room is discounted, tix and dining aren't.

When you have a room only reservation, adding tickets and dining makes it a package. The deposit for room only is 1 night's stay, balance due at check in; the deposit on a package is $200 with the balance due 45 days before your check in date. If you book room only and then decide you want a package, your reservation will be canceled and rebooked, your room only deposit refunded and then you will be charged the package deposit. Hopefully, if you cancel a room only to switch to a package with FD, you'll be able to get a ressie at the resort that you originally booked at, there are only a certain % of rooms for that discount at each resort.

Back in April I received a 30% off room PIN, I called and booked room only at POFQ. Then, I received a 35% room discount PIN and called to apply the better discount and to add tickets, my room only deposit was refunded and I was then charged $200. When FD was offered for November, I called again, lost the room discount but added FD to my package of room and tickets.
 

if we book with a room discount, and add tickets and dining .. we only have to get a 1-day pass, right? Not the 2 days that was required of the most recent free dining plan?
 
how long to you have to change a room only to a package?

can I book a room today and add 1-day tickets & the QSDP later on?

Yep, you can do that. Don't wait too long though, because you want to make sure that your resort isn't fully booked. I know that you can add a dining plan as late as 72 hours before check-in.
