Homecomin' Tables Reopen at 15x Normal Rate

Live now: Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' availability
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ at Disney Springs is shedding booked reservations at an unusual rate, according to SupaPark’s live tracking of Disney’s dining reservation calendar. In the six hours ending Wednesday, October 14 at 5:14 AM ET, 23 different future reservation slots at the restaurant flipped from fully booked back to available.
As of Wednesday, October 14, that is 15.3 times the restaurant’s trailing-14-day average of 1.5 reopened slots in the same six-hour window.
The count covers distinct date and party-size combinations up to 60 days out, measured as real booked-to-available transitions rather than estimates. Each one represents a table a guest had locked in and then released.
SupaPark’s sensors observed the transitions directly. This is not a Disney announcement and not press coverage.

What’s not confirmed
Why the slots reopened is not established. SupaPark’s data records that bookings were released, not the cause, and Disney has not said anything about Homecomin’s availability, hours, or operating status. There is no indication from this data of a closure, a menu change, or a capacity change.
What it means for your trip
Homecomin’ is one of the harder Disney Springs tables to land, so a cluster this size is the opening you normally wait weeks for. If your dates fall inside the 60-day booking window, search the restaurant in My Disney Experience now rather than at the usual 6:00 AM Eastern rush — these are slots that already passed through someone else’s cart.
Flex your party size when you search. The transitions are counted per date and per party size, so a four-person table may be gone while a two or a five is sitting open on the same night.
If nothing fits, set a dining Drop Watch on Homecomin’ for your date and let SupaPark catch the next release — a burst like this usually leaves aftershocks over the following day or two, and cancellations land at hours no one is refreshing.
Booking still happens in My Disney Experience, directly with Disney. SupaPark only spots the opening.
