Peak of hurricane season, lowest crowds of the year. The planner rates every month on three things that can be measured: Orlando's 30-year weather normals, Disney's own date-based prices (Disney charges more when it expects more people), and the posted price of Lightning Lane. September comes out good.

Weather

Average high 90°F, average low 73°F, 13 days a month with measurable rain (NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals, Orlando International). Expect a daily afternoon storm; plan indoor rides for 2 to 4 pm. Pack for heat: the parks are hotter than the airport reading.

Crowds and holidays

Late summer and September lull (08/16 to 09/30) is a quiet period.
