Why '२१ सितम्बर' is Trending: Disney World's Guardians of the Galaxy Celebration

If you have noticed a surge in searches for २१ सितम्बर (September 21) across India, it is not due to a local holiday, but rather a global pop-culture moment happening at Walt Disney World's EPCOT. On September 21, 2026, the popular attraction Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is hosting a one-day celebration centered around a legendary disco anthem.

The 'September' Soundtrack Swap

The trend stems from the opening lyrics of Earth, Wind & Fire's iconic song "September," which asks, "Do you remember the 21st night of September?" To lean into this cultural connection, Disney has announced that on September 21, 2026, the ride will abandon its usual randomized music playlist. Instead, "September" will play on every single ride cycle for the entire day [1].

Under normal operations, the ride shuffles between six different songs, meaning guests typically don't know which track they will hear until the journey begins. For this one-day event, that randomness is removed to create a synchronized celebration for fans [2].

Exclusive Treat: The Supernova Sip

Beyond the music, Disney is introducing a limited-edition beverage to mark the occasion. Available exclusively on September 21 at the Connections Café and Eatery, the Supernova Sip is designed to be as vibrant as the ride itself. The drink features:

• Spicy hot honey syrup
• Lemon juice
• Edible glitter
• A topping of orange cotton candy

For adults, a "spirited version" of the Supernova Sip is also available, infused with Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon [3].
