Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' reservation alerts
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' is a Southern comfort-food favorite at Disney Springs, famous for its buttermilk-brined fried chicken and moonshine cocktails. It's one of the toughest tables to land at Walt Disney World, and you don't even need a park ticket.

What's on the table at Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'
Homecomin' is chef Art Smith's love letter to Florida farmhouse cooking, tucked into The Landing at Disney Springs. The signature buttermilk-brined fried chicken, deviled eggs, and hummingbird cake share a menu with a deep list of moonshine cocktails.
Because it sits in Disney Springs, you don't need a theme-park ticket to eat here, which is part of why it stays booked solid year-round.
Why Homecomin' books up so fast
It is one of the most popular restaurants at Disney Springs, open to anyone visiting the resort, so demand runs high every night of the week. Prime dinner times and weekends are the first to disappear when reservations release 60 days out.
How to catch a cancellation
Tables reopen throughout the day as plans change and hold windows expire. A Park Drop alert watches Homecomin' around the clock and pings you the second one matching your date, party size, and time opens up.
Disney World dining reservations move fast across the resort, and Homecomin' is no exception. Set an alert above and we'll watch it for you day and night.
