We just love exploring all the brunch options here at Disney World. If you are looking for a luxurious over the top brunch head to the California Grill. But if you need some good ole southern comfort food head straight to Homecomin’ Rise and Shine Southern Brunch at Chef Art Smith’s in Disney Springs. You can catch brunch here both on Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm. Plus if you dine in after 11 am you can also order off their lunch menu.

A Look Around Homecomin’
The seating arrangement and setup was the same as you would find at dinner. We ended up eating out on the back deck which had beautiful water views.
Homecomin’ Rise and Shine Southern Brunch Dishes
Here is a look at some of the items we tried out here.
Feast your eyes on fresh mini iced doughnuts piled with pecans, bacon and drizzled with house-made caramel or dusted with sugar and served with spiced cane syrup and seasonal fruit. It comes as a plate of three and you can pick between the two flavors. Unable to decide, we got two powdered sugar and one with pecans and bacon.
Of the two, the classic powdered sugar won our hearts. While we loved the pecans and maple syrup of the other, the bacon was an interesting mix we just weren’t quite sure of.
There is a lot of protein mixed in here with the egg, bacon, and fried chicken. With Homecomin’ you just can’t go wrong with any entree that includes the fried chicken. Their secret is a 24-hour buttermilk brine and it’s absolutely divine.
My husband went with the classic bacon and egg breakfast. This is called Grand-Daddy Plate. It’s a plate of three eggs any-style, pecan-smoked bacon, griddled country ham, cheddar cheese drop biscuit and choice of two sides.
For the side on this dish, it’s extra bacon and the Potato Gratin Mash. The potatoes were insanely creamy packed with butter and cheese. It was almost so runny it was close to a soup consistency.

I have been visiting the parks annually since my parents first brought me at just a year old. Recently I was able to fulfill my life long dream of being a Florida local and moved from the wintery Northeast to the sunshine and fun of central Florida. Now I am hoping to share my Disney knowledge with you so you can have the best vacation possible!
