Concept Art and Opening Season Announced for Chef Art Smith’s NEW Restaurant in Orlando

One of the most common ways people travel to Disney World is via MCO, or the Orlando International Airport.

The busy airport is currently undergoing an expansion to include a new Terminal C. With that new terminal comes new shops and, more importantly, more restaurants. We’re sharing new details — including an opening timeline — about one of the restaurants that will soon call MCO home!

We were so excited when Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ reopened in Disney Springs last year!

Featuring southern fare with a Florida flair, the popular restaurant is the brainchild of celebrity Chef Art Smith, a Florida native. So it only makes sense that he’d open a new restaurant somewhere frequented by many Floridians!

Smith’s latest idea is called The Sunshine Diner and is part of the chef’s “dream to revitalize the great American diner.” This new restaurant is opening soon in the Orlando International Airport.

It looks like this spot will have booths, tables, a bar area, and even a “grab and go” station for quick snacks.
