Disney Sets One-Day 'September' Takeover for Cosmic Rewind on Sept. 21

Disney confirmed the one-day takeover in social posts, marking a now-annual nod to the song’s lyric.

Overview

  • Walt Disney World announced on September 9 that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will play Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September” for every ride cycle on Sunday, September 21.
  • The confirmation came through Disney’s official social channels, with fan and trade outlets quickly amplifying details to guests planning EPCOT visits.
  • Cosmic Rewind normally selects one of six ’70s/’80s tracks at random, so a guaranteed single-song soundtrack represents a rare operational departure.
  • The all-day “September” soundtrack first ran in 2023 and is being framed as a returning EPCOT tradition linked to the song’s opening line.
  • Coverage warns of higher demand for the coaster that day and recommends planning strategies such as purchasing Lightning Lane access, with reports indicating the overlay runs throughout the park day.
