September 21 at EPCOT: Cosmic Rewind Gets Its Groove On

Do you remember the 21st night of September? At EPCOT, the answer comes with a Starjumper, a heroic dash through space and an Earth, Wind & Fire earworm that refuses to leave quietly.

On September 21, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind turns its famously unpredictable onboard playlist into a one-day cosmic dance party. Add a visit with Star-Lord, a limited-time drink and a few fall offers, and this unofficial EPCOT holiday has plenty of groove.

September Takes Over the Starjumper

For one day only, every ride on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will blast Earth, Wind & Fire’s iconic “September” during the chase across the known universe. No soundtrack roulette. No wishing on a star. Just ba-dee-ya from takeoff to touchdown.

A Quick Stop With the Milano’s Pilot

Star-Lord will also be ready for greetings at EPCOT, giving Guardians fans a chance to meet the legendary outlaw behind the Milano’s controls. Since saving the galaxy keeps a busy schedule, check the My Disney Experience app for appearance times.

A Supernova in a Cup

Connections Café and Eatery joins the September 21 festivities with the Supernova Sip, available that day only. The drink mixes spicy hot honey syrup, lemon juice and edible glitter, then gets crowned with orange cotton candy—because subtlety has never been Xandar’s strongest suit.

A spirited version is also available with Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

Treasures From Xandar—and a Few Savings

For a take-home memento, head to Treasures of Xandar just outside the Cosmic Rewind exit. This Xandarian trading post carries otherworldly finds for purchase, along with relics celebrating Xandar’s hometown heroes: the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Guests planning a Walt Disney World Resort visit can also check out these fall offers:

  • 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket: Starting at $109 per day, plus tax, or $436 total, plus tax, this ticket is valid for one admission to each of the four Walt Disney World theme parks, with one park per day. It is available for visits most days now through October 3, 2026, and must be used within seven days of first use.
  • Save up to 30% on rooms in late summer and early fall: This offer applies at select Disney Resorts Collection hotels for stays of five nights or longer, with most arrivals now through October 3, 2026. Other savings are available for shorter stays.

Whether the mission involves a galactic coaster sprint, a glittery beverage or a new Xandarian relic, September 21 is ready to make EPCOT’s soundtrack just a little louder.
