food IS a theme park
We’ve got a long list of restaurants that we love in Disney World!
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
One of the ones that makes the list in Disney Springs is Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’. The spot serves up southern comfort food, with everything from fried chicken to mac and cheese — they even have a moonshine bar! And if you’ve been to the restaurant before and love Chef Art Smith’s recipes, then you’ll be happy to know that he’s opening a new restaurant soon.
Traveling to and from Orlando has been a bit more complicated recently!

Whether they’re headed to visit family in another part of the country or taking advantage of the days off of work to go on vacation, we’re expecting to see some very busy roads and airports (and theme parks, for that matter!). But exactly HOW many travelers will there be this holiday season? Let’s dig a little deeper!
During your Disney World trip, one of the most important things you need to be aware of and prepare for is the weather.

Because THIS particular change is going to impact a LOT of travelers VERY soon. (And there’s still a LOT of people that might not know about it yet!)
