Pros
Reasons to visit in September
- ✓Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance runs shorter lines than its usual crawl thanks to the September lull.
- ✓Toy Story Land's Alien Swirling Saucers and Slinky Dog Dash are workable without an early rope drop sprint.
- ✓Fantasmic! and Disney Movie Magic play to thinner Sunset Boulevard and Hollywood Boulevard crowds, making it easier to grab a decent viewing spot.
- ✓Lower crowds mean Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run cycle through Lightning Lane Multi Pass returns faster.
Cons
Things to watch out for
- ✕Toy Story Land has almost no natural shade, and September afternoons push into the low 90s while you wait for Slinky Dog Dash.
- ✕Afternoon thunderstorms are frequent enough to shut down outdoor queues for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and First Order Searches for the Resistance with little warning.
- ✕Disney After Hours nights push regular park hours to an earlier close, cutting your standby window short if you're not staying for the ticketed event.
- ✕Galaxy's Edge has limited covered queue space, so a midday storm leaves you stuck exposed near Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
Pro tip
Head straight to Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at rope drop since it's the headliner and even a low-crowd September day can build a line by 9:30am; ride it first, then backtrack to Toy Story Land for Slinky Dog Dash and Alien Swirling Saucers before 11am when the day's heat and any afternoon storms typically arrive. With crowds light this month, you can knock out Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway in the early afternoon lull, then reserve energy for Fantasmic! in the evening once temperatures start dropping after 7pm.
