Disney Dining Plan
You can use the Disney Dining Plan to enjoy a meal at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’. The restaurant accepts the Disney Dining Plan, but note that you cannot use the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan here.
It’ll cost one table-service meal credit per person to dine at Homecomin’ for brunch, lunch, or dinner.
Advance Dining Reservations
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ does offer advance dining reservations (ADRs) like all other Disney World (and Disney Springs) table-service restaurants. Since table-service spots notoriously book up fast, you’ll want to try to secure a reservation before your visit instead of trying to nab a last-minute walk-up table.
However, Disney Springs restaurants like Homecomin’ often don’t see as sky-high demand as restaurants inside Disney World’s theme parks. So, you may find it easier to get an ADR to dine here closer to your arrival day or the day you’re hoping to dine.
Is Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ Kid-Friendly?
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ definitely has a family-friendly vibe, and the Southern comfort food on the menu is welcoming for all ages and taste buds.Â
Step inside Homecomin’, and you’ll notice that while it is a table-service restaurant, it’s got quite a casual vibe. That’s perfect for kids of all ages, especially if you aren’t sure just how amenable your little ones (or even older kids) will be after a long day in the parks come meal time. No one will bat an eye if your table isn’t on its quietest and best fine dining behavior.
Most importantly, when it comes to options for every age and every type of picky eater, Homecomin’ does offer something for everyone. With dishes like classic French toast and eggs any style for brunch and chicken tenders, cheeseburgers, and macaroni and cheese for lunch or dinner, it’s a very kid-friendly spot that offers staples you know will get eaten.
