How to Get a Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' Reservation
- Book the day your window opens. Disney World dining reservations open 60 days ahead. Guests staying at a Disney resort hotel can book 60 days before check-in for their whole stay (up to 10 days).
- Keep checking as your date gets close. Disney charges a no-show fee when a reservation is cancelled less than a day ahead, so plenty of tables open up in the final few days.
- Be flexible on time and party size. Early lunch and late dinner slots open more often, and smaller parties fit into more tables.

About Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ is a down-home Southern kitchen and shine bar tucked into The Landing neighborhood of Disney Springs. Created by James Beard Award-winning chef Art Smith — who famously served as Oprah Winfrey’s personal chef — the restaurant celebrates Florida agriculture and the recipes of Chef Art’s family table.
The space is warm, welcoming, and unpretentious. Think reclaimed wood, mason jars, and the kind of comfortable atmosphere where you want to linger over one more biscuit. The restaurant includes a covered patio that is perfect for Florida evenings, and the adjacent Southern Shine bar offers creative moonshine craft cocktails for guests 21 and older.
Homecomin’ is that rare Disney Springs restaurant that feels genuinely local. The food is sourced from Florida farms whenever possible, the recipes have real soul, and the portions are generous. It has earned a devoted following among both locals and vacationers who return visit after visit for the fried chicken.
