Be aware that the rumor is that the 8th and 9th are CAST Party days and the park will close at 6pm.
They are indeed closing at 6 those days, however DCA is open until 9. In the past, this is what we've done:
Thursday - all day at MK (open until 8)
Friday - all day at DCA (open until 9, since it's a Friday)
Sat - MK until 3 or 4, when it gets crazy, and over to Goofy's Kitchen for dinner.
Sun - half day or so hitting what we missed before heading home.

This year, we changed things around without knowing about the cast parties. However, this is what we figured, after thinking about it:
Sat - Goofy's Kitchen
Sun - all day at MK (open til midnight, so until kid's collapse)
Mon - all day at DCA (open 'til 9 becaue of MK closing early)
Tues - back to MK (open until 6, when we normally leave MK at 3 or 4 on our 2nd day and we can still go to DCA)
Wed - half day hitting what we missed before heading home.

So, looking at it, we realized we are actually getting more hours that our normal trip in the parks.

I'm going to be there for 3 days or so in September. Sunday Sept. 7 - Wed. Sept. 10th.
Should I expect the same thing?
Not in terms of closing that early, but you will have the Fall hours (not midnight every night like in summer). But it's still very doable to do DLR in 3 days - 1 day in each park and then a final day either splitting (plan it out and hit DL early and then hit DCA when it opens, then perhaps back to DL) or just MK.
