What are typical September park hours?

[babyatlas]

I know the calendar for Sept isn't available yet but wanted to have a general idea. We would be going to the parks on a Sun/Mon/Tues - likely Sept 14-16 or Sept 21-23. Are there any other big events going on that time of the year that we should be aware of?
Also...how far in advance is the calendar available....45 days or something like that?
As always, many thanks.

I would think mid week would be 10-8, if not 7 and weekends would be much later like 9-11 at least.

The hours come out 6 weeks in advance.

I generally agree with sherilaine that weekdays are likely to have short hours with limited evening entertainment. Weekends are likely to have later hours with most of the entertainment running for the dates you mentioned.

WDWinfo has a list of the hours from the past years. Here are hours from last September:

In terms of the "official" calendar, Disneyland posts the operating hours about 6-weeks (45-days) in advance. Entertainment and EMH/MM tend to be posted about 4-weeks in advance (so a few weeks after the hours are posted).

At this point, the best guess estimates are that HalloweenTime will start on September 12 (or so). I would expect higher than normal Sunday crowds on 9/14 as the AP holders come in to see the Halloween decor, activities, and ride overlays. I would suspect 9/21 will also see fairly large Sunday crowds for the same reasons.

9-14 may be busy because that is during dapper days but you can get a great room rate!
