September is a great time to visit Disney World plus it also typically the start of free Disney Dining plan promotion. The temperatures are still a little warm but the crowds are low. The best part is you can enjoy the low crowds and still get to experience Halloween time at Disney World as well as Epcot's Food and Wine Festival. The following are some more things to expect at Disney World in September.
The Weather in Disney During September
September is the 4th hottest month, with the average temperature being 87 degrees and 4th wettest month with five inches of rainfall on average. As expected coming off of the summer months it begins as a rainy and hot month and ends much cooler and drier.
Just as in the summer months it's a good idea to dress in light colors and wear comfortable shoes. Since the temperatures are hovering right below the 90s we recommend bringing a small portable fan. Due to rain being commonplace in this month I bring a poncho for each person and a stroller cover.
Disney Events in September
Epcot's Food and Wine Festival

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party starts earlier than ever this year, with party dates going from the End of August to the first of November.

I have been visiting the parks annually since my parents first brought me at just a year old. Recently I was able to fulfill my life long dream of being a Florida local and moved from the wintery Northeast to the sunshine and fun of central Florida. Now I am hoping to share my Disney knowledge with you so you can have the best vacation possible!
