Earl of Sandwich is coming to Disneyland

February 7, 2012, 12:07 PM · The Disneyland Resort announced today that Earl of Sandwich is coming to the west coast as the popular Walt Disney World eatery will open a location in Disneyland's Downtown Disney later this year.

Earl of Sandwich

From the press release:

"The new restaurant, which continues to have historical ties to the inventor of the sandwich, the Sandwich family, will be adjacent to AMC Theatres. Signature hot sandwiches will be available including The Original 1762, a sandwich of freshly roasted beef, sharp cheddar and creamy horseradish sauce all on freshly baked artisan bread. Soups, salads, wraps and desserts also are on the menu. Earl of Sandwich offers a vast array of hot and cold beverages including The Earl’s Grey Lemonade. Breakfast sandwiches and pastries will be available in the morning and a variety of catering options will be offered at this location.

The restaurant is scheduled to open in "early summer." So, Walt Disney World fans, what should we Californians expect? And if it's worth a go, what should we order first?

She also sometimes says this when the question is "Where do you want to eat tonight?" while we are at home.

The one at WDW really needs to expand, at least take over the store connected to it. It's not hard to see why Pollo Compero (Sp?) is failing. It's strange, specific, poor atmosphere and people don't feel the value is right.

I truly believe that you can judge a sandwich shop by its BLT. There is nothing hide behind in a BLT, now bells and whistles. So often the bacon tastes like reheated plastic at sandwich places, but not here, this is a fantastic sandwich. It is absolutely worth the trip.

My favourite sandwich there has to be the " Full Monty " because, as the name suggests, you get the works.
Good sandwiches and more at pretty reasonable prices.

When she picks a little-known counter service restaurant over the much better known Puck, it has to be pretty darned good. Everything that the others have been saying about it are true. The food is excellent, reasonably priced, and skillfully prepared.
