Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ in Disney Springs is a restaurant that elevates and celebrates Southern and Floridian cuisine with “farm-to-fork” food and delicious eats!
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Yesterday, we found out about some brand new menu items at this fan-favorite restaurant including gator bites and whiskey flights. Today, we’re trying some of these new dishes. Let’s dive in!
We’re still celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Disney World and there are so many new treats!
Spaceship Earth is lit up for the 50th!
If you’re not sure what to get, or you just have time for a few 50th Anniversary treats, here are our five MUST-EAT 50th Anniversary treats!
Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Disney’s Very Merriest After Hours, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and more — there are SO many exciting things to check out in Disney World during December.
Happy Holidays from Disney World!
There are also a lot of things to set up for your trip including Park Passes, hotel reservations, ticket purchases, and flights to Disney World (if you’ll be flying there). How much does it cost to fly to Disney World in December? We’re taking a look right here.
Alice in Wonderland is a classic Disney film full of some of our favorite (and maybe a little mad) characters! Who could resist that big ol’ Cheshire grin? Or Alice’s imaginative mind?
Hello, Alice!
If you’re a D23 member, listen up! Remember that EXPENSIVE Alice in Wonderland plush set? Well, a few of the characters are on shopDisney individually now — let’s take a look!
The Disney Genie service just launched in Disney World, and now you can pay for access to Lightning Lanes (previously known as FastPass+ lanes) for qualifying rides and attractions.
A Disney Genie Pamphlet
The Genie+ service is $15 per person, per day for over 40 different attractions, but with Individual Attraction Selection (or pay-per-ride) you pay for each ride individually, and the pay-per-ride premium attractions are 8 of the most popular rides in Disney World. So how do you decide which rides to choose? Which rides are worth the extra cost? Well, we asked you, dear readers, to vote for which Individual Attraction Selection rides you would actually pay for!
Can you believe that Avengers Campus opened THIS year?!
Pym Test Kitchen
Back in June, we attended the opening day of the new land in Disney California Adventure where we tried some supersized (and super small!) food at Pym Test Kitchen. Now, for a limited-time, you can get a FREE souvenir with your Pym Test Kitchen meal!
Disney days can be crazy, with rushing to your favorite ride in the morning, trying to find the shortest lines, and navigating the crowds through the parks.
Let’s take a Disney zen moment
But we’re going to stop for just a minute and take a moment of Disney zen — because you deserve it. You’ve already made it through the week! Well done. Now take just a second for yourself to listen to the calming sounds of Disney World.
It’s Halloween weekend, but you know what’s going on at Disney World, right? The holidays are starting to sneak in because the holiday season officially begins on Monday!
It’s the Holiday Season!
We’ve already seen decorations going up at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We’ve also had a sneak peek of some of the new holiday merchandise coming soon. And, well, you know us — we are ALL about the upcoming holiday snacks! But, as they say, first…COFFEE.
Happy Halloween weekend! The spookiest bakery in Disney World, Gideon’s Bakehouse, is back for the last weekend in October with a NEW limited-time treat. For anyone who’s been meaning to try the Frankenstein cookies or the Gingersnap Cold Brew, this is your last chance!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
The final fall-inspired treat of the month is a cult classic among Gideon’s fans, but if you’re new to the Gideon’s Bakehouse fan club (welcome, by the way) you’re going to want to see this!

“ALOHA,” my friends!
Actually, scratch that… I’d like to say “Aloha” to our family of DFB readers.
