A very special holiday is coming soon that we love to celebrate in Disney World!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Nope, it’s not Halloween (though those celebrations are underway in Disney World), and it’s not Christmas (though that season is coming up soon). It’s something far more specific…September 21st! And if you’re visiting EPCOT that day, you’ll be able to hear the song “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire ALL day at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a popular roller coaster in EPCOT that opened in 2022. Since it’s themed to the Guardians of the Galaxy films, you know that it has to have an awesome soundtrack…and it does! Typically, when riding the coaster, you’ll get a randomized song from a list of six different choices.

One of the songs on that list is “September,” and it’s often thought of as the “best” of the group, so fans tend to get pretty excited when they get that one in particular. The song tells the story of the 21st night of September, so to honor that date in a fun way, Disney will be playing “September” all day long for the ride. That’s right, it’ll be the ONLY song you can get that day.

So if you’re not a fan of this song, you’ll need to visit on literally any other day of the year. If you do, the other songs that rotate through, in addition to “September,” are as follows:
- “Disco Inferno” by The Trammps
- “Conga” by Gloria Estefan
- “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears
- “I Ran” by A Flock of Seagulls
- “One Way or Another” by Blondie

Disney World did this same September 21st offering last year, so we’ll be interested to see if it becomes an annual thing. The only other time they’ve altered the song list was during the holiday season in 2022, when there was a seasonal Christmas song remix that played for every ride.

My favorite ride and my favorite song is Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Everytime I hear that song played, I close my eyes and I’m on Guardians flying through space!
