Tomorrow's the Day — Heat's the Rival, Plan the Shade

Advice for 2026-09-07 · Published Sep 6, 2026, 9:01 PM ET

Archived briefing. Hours, prices, availability, and recommendations may have changed. Check today’s dashboard.

A-hyuck, folks — tomorrow's the sweet spot, so let ol' Goofy lay it out. Crowds are eased off the weekend peak (Magic Kingdom's crowd score's already slid to a Low 3), so grab your park hopper early and start where the lines are shortest. It's still a scorcher — high near 96°F with UV off the charts — so route your day around air-conditioned queues: Spaceship Earth at EPCOT and the Haunted Mansion at MK are your midday rescue. Animal Kingdom opens at 8 AM, an hour before the rest, so rope-drop it if you want quiet skies. Park close times: MK and DHS at 10, EPCOT at 9. Drink water like it's free, keep a refillable bottle handy, and don't chase a headline ride in the 2 PM sun — a smart friend keeps you out of the heat, not just off the coasters.
