The thing is, I will be working full-time over summer(might be able to do some light review), so my main study blocks will be these two months before school lets out and September/October before the November 7th test date (this way I can retake in January 2015 if I need to). I will be taking a full course-load in addition to MCAT Prep during these 4 months. So I’m unsure how to proceed- should I buy the books and start prepping now, even though I may forget a lot of material over summer or should I go over my previous courses and textbooks now, making sure I have a good grasp of the material and then intense prep September/October?

I wouldn't recommend splitting up your studying like that. If you start studying and then stop for three months, you're not going to remember the information you learned before summer as well as you'll need to when you start up again. I'd recommend doing whatever you can to have your prep be continuous if at all possible. Maybe work full time during the first month of summer and then drop down to part time for the last two months, doing your prep from July-October.

Not to be a bummer, but breaking it up like that isn't going to work for 99% of people...
Yeah I know- I was thinking I might be able to light study (1-2 hours a day) for the first 5 months and then intensive review the first month and practice tests the last month. What do you think?
