Hiya Melissa! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your questions!
With so many new additions to EPCOT, it has become the go-to park for many Guests visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Harmonious, and now
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind have all debuted since the start of the
50th Anniversary Celebration. They have each been amazing additions in their own right, and must-dos on every single trip. I highly recommend either riding or watching each of these experiences on your upcoming visit in September.
When Annual Passes were reintroduced last year, the EPCOT After 4 Pass sadly did not make a return. Walt Disney World introduced a
new tiered system, with each of them being available to Florida residents. Currently, the sale of new Annual Passes has been paused, with the exception of the
Disney Pixie Dust Pass. This pass comes with certain blockout dates, including most weekends, but still has plenty of additional days to visit the parks. This will be your best alternative to the EPCOT After 4 Pass, while also giving you access to the other three theme parks. There have not been any announcements made regarding when the rest of the Annual Passes will go back on sale, but I would continue checking the Disney Parks Blog for any news and updates.
With your visit upcoming in September, Walt Disney World has announced the return of
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! This event takes place on select dates from August 12th through Halloween night. I suggest checking the dates to see if you can fit this event into your schedule. I was lucky enough to attend the event the last time it was held, and I can't express how much fun this party is. The Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular was my favorite celebration of the night! I suggest staking out a spot in front of Cinderella Castle to get the best view. Mickey's "Boo-to-You" Halloween Parade is another must-see and worth the price of admission alone!
Melissa, I hope you have the most magical time during your upcoming stay!
See ya real soon!
Greg
