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.

You are competing with more than park guests

Most hard-to-book Disney restaurants are hard because park guests want them. Homecomin’ is harder for a broader reason: it sits at Disney Springs, which needs no ticket, so it draws locals, conference visitors and people staying off property alongside everyone on a park holiday.

That widens the competition considerably and flattens the usual patterns — it does not empty out midweek or in the quieter seasons the way an in-park restaurant does.

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.

Most Walt Disney World dining reservations open 60 days in advance. Popular slots go fast, so an alert is the best way to catch a later opening.

What is Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' known for?

Southern comfort food — especially the buttermilk-brined fried chicken, deviled eggs, shrimp and grits, and hummingbird cake — plus a large menu of moonshine cocktails.

Do you need a park ticket to eat at Homecomin'?

No. Homecomin' is at Disney Springs, which is free to enter, so you can dine here without a theme-park ticket. That open access is part of why it stays so busy.

Is Homecomin’ easier to book midweek or off-season?

Less than you would expect. Because Disney Springs is open to anyone without a park ticket, Homecomin’ draws local diners and off-property visitors as well as park guests, so it does not quieten down in the low seasons the way an in-park restaurant does. Weeknights are somewhat easier than weekends, but the difference is smaller than elsewhere.
