Fall free dining???

[Belster]

My family and I are thinking about going back to the world between August and Early October. I know that often times Disney will offer the free dining. My question is, if I book my room and park hoppers now can I add on the free dining offer when and if it is offered or can you only take advantage if you booked and have a dining plan on your reservation?

I hope this makes sense. I just want to make sure I get the deal if offered.

Thank you in advance for any replies.

It makes perfect sense. You do not need to add the dining now.
IF Disney offers free dining, you can change your package to include it at that time as long as the promotion is available for your resort and dates.

If you did not book through a travel agency, you might want to consider transferring your reservation to Magical Journeys. They watch for the specials to be launched, and then apply them to your reservation even before you know that the specials exist!
