The BIG day has finally arrived! While Disney World hotels and theme parks haven’t welcomed back guests just yet, Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ in Disney Springs has reopened today.
We arrived at Disney Springs bright and early this morning for a little taste of southern hospitality (are we the only peeps who like to rope drop restaurants???).
And while we knew Chef Art Smith would be at Homecomin’ today for the grand opening of his new Shine Bar + Social outdoor patio bar, we weren’t expecting to see so much cute MERCH!
Just like The Polite Pig down the block, the restaurant is also serving up its special brand of Homecomin’ Face Masks! They’ve chosen a chicken for their emblem and they cost $10 each!
In fact, we noticed Chef Art Smith was rockin’ one of these bad boys himself while he was welcoming folks back to his restaurant!
Homecomin’ is also selling gaiter face coverings for $12 in blue Chicken or Gingham prints!
We also spotted plenty of adorable new Homecomin’ Baby Onesies, perfect for any little chicks that have hatched recently! These cuties are $12 each.
There’s also plenty of Homecomin’s Hot Sauce for folks to take home with them!
And we can’t leave without snagging a few of these Homecomin’ Can Koozies either!
Homecomin’ is now open every day of the week from 12PM to 9PM, so come on down to snag some of their new gear and maybe even a jar of their refreshing moonshine ’cause you deserve it!
