UPDATED July 6, 2026
Planning to visit Walt Disney World in September? Lower crowd levels, fall festivities (like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party*), and the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival are typically what you’ll experience… and there’s plenty more to consider (including the potential for some interesting weather patterns)!
*PLEASE BE AWARE: There are several dates in September when Magic Kingdom closes early to accommodate this extra-ticket seasonal event.
CHEERS to the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!
Want to know how many theme park hours you’ll have in September to experience all the fun? If so, there’s something you’ll want to know: park hours for all four Walt Disney World theme parks — Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom — are released a few months in advance. Additionally, once posted, theme park hours are subject to change, and often are not finalized until around 2-3 weeks ahead of time.
And THAT’S why we’re here to help YOU track ’em! We continually update our park hours pages with the latest information for your planning purposes.
Below, please find the hours for the Walt Disney World theme parks and water parks for September 2026:
