We investigate the question of disk formation during the protostar phase. We build on the results of Keene & Masson (1990) whose analysis of L1551 IRS5 showed the millimeter continuum emission comes from both an unresolved circumstellar component, i.e. disk, and a more extended envelope/dense core. We model the dust continuum emission from the dense cloud core using the cloud--collapse models of Terebey, Shu & Cassen (1984) and show that dust emission from the dense core is important when measured with large single--dish telescopes at 1.3 mm, but nearly negligible with interferometers at 2.7 mm. Combining new 2.7 mm Owens Valley Interferometer data of IRAS--Dense cores with data from the literature we conclude that massive disks are also seen towards a number of other sources including L1448 IRS3 (IRAS 03225+3034), whose disk mass is estimated to be 0.5 M\sun\ (assuming T_D = 40 K, beta = 1.5, and optically thin emission). However 1.3 mm data from the IRAM 30-m telescope for a larger sample shows that massive disks are relatively rare, occurring around perhaps ~ 5% of young embedded stars. This implies that either massive disks occur briefly during the protostar phase or that relatively few young stars form massive disks. The median 1.3 mm flux density of IRAS--Dense cores in our sample is nearly the same as T Tauri stars in the sample of Beckwith et al. (1990). We conclude that the typical disk mass is not significantly higher during the protostar phase than during the later T Tauri phase.
