Hi Darcy,
Thanks so much for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel for help with planning your trip! I'm a firm believer that planning is half the fun, so I'm glad to see that you're already thinking about your September vacation! My family loves visiting in September as the temperatures are still warm and the crowds are usually lighter.
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and the
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival are other great reasons to visit in September!
You'll find that
Park Hours are released about six months in advance, and are currently available for the next 180 days. You should be able to find the hours for September 11th no later than March 15th, with a new day being added every day. Since Park Hours are subject to change, be sure to check back periodically to see if anything has changed.
You'll also be able to begin making
advanced dining reservations 180 days in advance, and if you're staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you'll be able to make dining reservations for the entire length of your stay, up to 10 days. Have fun choosing delicious and fun places to dine! Some of my family's favorites are 'Ohana, Whispering Canyon Cafe, Liberty Tree Tavern, and Beaches & Cream Soda Shop. We also love any of the
Character dining options!
Have so much fun planning your trip, Darcy, and let us know if you have any other questions! Enjoy every moment of your vacation to the most magical place on earth!
