Solo Dining: 5 Beginner Tips for Eating Alone at Disney World that Always Work!

What to Wear to Disneyland in September? Your Perfect Outfit Ideas and Packing List for 2025!

Are you trying to figure out what to wear to Disneyland in September?

Don’t worry, I got you!

September is a funny time at Disneyland. With fall creeping in, Halloween takes over the parks but the summer heat is still blazing.

This shoulder season can make September a tricky month to know what to wear.

When visiting Disneyland in September, dressing comfortably and being prepared for changing weather is key.

Days are hot but evenings are cool and rain is a common occurrence throughout the month.

In addition to packing for all types of weather, September is also an important month to consider your Disney Bounding wisely.

If you’re lucky enough to have tickets to Oogie Boogie Bash, this is the one time of year that you can dress in Character to attend the Disney Parks.

This is one of the most fun experiences you can have at Disneyland and you will certainly have great memories and photographs of the experience.
