So I think too much about the future and i stress 😱 and blah blah blah...
I'll be done with pre-reqs next spring, and then i will be entering my final year (fall 2013-spring'14). My question is in the title, but when should i plan to take the MCAT? Try to fit it into the spring sometime, or should i do it early in the summer? My plan is to apply next fall ('13). Thanks for any helpful responses!

Any time before next September would be the best answer. Take the free AAMC practice test in like April/May (or earlier) and see what your baseline was and if you need to study a lot find two months to study and take it in August/September. If you get a good score, take it in June.

Make sure you have completed your pre-med req and give yourself time to study.
