I noticed a mid-year Dining Plan price spike was released last week as well for 2013 packages going forward. It's reached the price point where it would be too much work to squeeze any value out of it.

That's the day we head home from WDW. Will have to check into a trip in 2014 for our 10 year wedding anniversary before we leave for the airport.

Great news! Surprised it's so late, though, since this is beyond the start of the 180-day dining window for January 2014. Regardless, I'm sure we'll be fine booking our dining and resort resie on 7/10

Except for the past 2 years, historically they've been released in early August.

That's not true. It was July last year.
I didn't set the 180-day booking window, Disney did. It would be most reasonable (to me) to then release packages 180 days out from January 1st, so your guests can get the most of your marketed 180+10 ADR policy for resort guests.
Not to mention, August would be pretty late to allow people to start booking for January. One would think Disney would like people to book more than 5 months out if possible.
At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Just surprising to me.

That's why I said "except for the last 2 years".
It is surprising to me with the 180 day window, but I've been following this since I became a travel agent over 10 years ago, and honestly, even though it doesn't make sense from the 180 day window, they have historical precedent.
See http://www.mousesavers.com/historical-information-on-walt-disney-world-resort-discounts/#rack for 2010 - 2013.
Prior years were almost always August (and September for Disneyland!)
For WDW, you can book the next year before these rates are released, just not online and your pricing may be adjusted once the real rates are released. You can't do that for Disneyland.
Here's the data from MouseSavers:
