DHS is Packed Today — Hit the Low Crowds Instead

Advice for 2026-09-09 · Published Sep 9, 2026, 7:16 AM ET

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

A-hyuck, folks — here's the play for today. Hollywood Studios is the crowd magnet, sitting High at about 56 minutes average and Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind's the top pull at 88! If you're huntin' empty lines, waddle over to Magic Kingdom (Very Low, 16 min) or EPCOT (Low, 24) where you'll glide right up. And it's peak Halloween season, so the parks are decked out in spooky gear — new Bluey & Bingo headbands and a Halloween Loungefly collection are on the shelves now. Pack sunscreen, folks: 88 degrees, UV's high, and there's a 38% chance of afternoon showers, so the Skyliner's a no-go in lightning. Save the big rides for the late afternoon when the lines go soft, and grab a refillable resort mug if you're stayin' on-site.
