I am going to Disney in September and DLP Guide didn't state the end date of this closure but DLP Website has stated the entire month and the entire time of my visit!

Does these mean I am unable to visit the princesses? I would love to have seen them but I know many characters don't walk around the parks anymore.  :(

Also Indiana Jones & Crush's Coaster are also both scheduled to be closed during my trip, are these rides something that I am really missing out on?

Many thanks!

Is the pavilion closing for good or just a refurb?

So glad you can still meet the princesses, I would be so heart broken if I couldn't, it is one of my dreams to become one and I want to see it all in action! :)

It's not that difficult:
You show up at the Old Mill which is located next to the Princess Pavillion.
You queue for a ticket.
You get your ticket.
You show up at the time that is on your ticket.

They start distributing tickets at 10.30 but people start queueing for it at 8am.
Usually by 10.45/11.00 all tickets are gone for the day.
So you definitely have to show up early and start queueing during Extra Magical Hours.
The system works the same as Fastpass, except now it's mandatory.

Is this definitely?
Isn't there a show at this stage during Halloween Season (starting at the 1st of October)?

It's not any different from the normal queue.
It's just split into two parts: the ticket queue and the normal (now shorter) queue.
