08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
September is the quietest month and the cheapest, with Halloween events at both resorts on selected nights, the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot and short lines everywhere. It is also the peak of hurricane season and still hot, around 32 °C, and stormy, with rain on about nine days. Book refundable where you can, and watch the forecast from a week before departure.
Labor Day weekend at the start is the one busy stretch. Water parks begin to close for seasonal maintenance in rotation. The Halloween party nights close the Magic Kingdom to day guests at six on event evenings; check the calendar. Daylight drops to twelve hours by the equinox. For the drier second half and the Halloween peak, see October.
