We were excited about the rumor last month that Earl of Sandwich was coming to Disneyland…and now it’s official!!
Disneyland announced today that our favorite Orlando sandwich shop will open a new location in Downtown Disney in early Summer 2012.
“We pride ourselves in giving our guests a unique experience at Downtown Disney through different retail and food offerings,” said Tony Bruno, vice president of Resort Hotels and Downtown Disney. “This will be the only Earl of Sandwich in California and it is sure to be a favorite among our guests as it has been at Walt Disney World for nearly eight years.”
The new restaurant will be adjacent to the Downtown Disney AMC Theatres — replacing the Compass Books location. All of your favorite sammiches will be available, including The Original 1762, along with soups, salads, wraps, and desserts The Earl’s Grey Lemonade and breakfast options will also be served.
The opening of the Disneyland location means that guests in three Disney Resorts around the world now have access to Earl of Sandwich! “We are looking forward to the grand opening of our newest location at the Disneyland Resort,” stated Robert Earl, chairman of Earl of Sandwich. “The success we’ve experienced at Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris and our other 15 locations has proven that the quality of our food and our dining experience will bring guests back time and time again.”

An expanded La Brea and an Earl on either end of Downtown Disney? (resisting obvious groaner) Somewhat different markets, but La Brea can’t be too enthused about this.
