I wouldn't count on a Day One disc release, but I would assure you that most likely there will either be a Game of the Year edition with all the DLC once they're done making them, or they might release an install disc like they did for Shivering Isles at some point. Maybe around the time the PS3/PC players get it?
Here's hoping you don't have to wait for GOTY or Ultimate Edition (as they did with FO:NV) to play Dawnguard, though.
That said, if they DO release a Day One install disc, I will probably go that route instead of DLC (even though I have Live) because Tribunal, Bloodmoon and Shivering all included cool physical maps of the new areas.
EDIT: To those saying Silver lets you buy DLC, he may mean he has no access to Live at all. As in, no way to get his Xbox hooked to the internet, or has a router that doesn't agree with his Xbox hardware. That can happen, too. Although, OP, they are right, if you can get online. After all, why would Microsoft prevent you from paying them for stuff just because you're not a Gold subscriber? That would be silly.
EDIT 2: Just thought, OP, if you have a friend that has a way to get your Xbox online, you can take it to them, sign up for a Live Silver account (it's free) and buy it, then transfer your Skyrim saves to the new profile so you don't lose progress. Don't buy it on someone else's box, though, and put it on USB. The licenses won't work offline on a different Xbox than the one it was downloaded on.
