Earl of Sandwich opens its new home at Disneyland
Earl of Sandwich has opened at its new location in Downtown Disney.
This is the fourth home, and fifth opening, at the Disneyland Resort for the popular sandwich shop. Most recently, Earl of Sandwich has been serving out of a temporary, mobile facility on the west side of Downtown Disney. Before that, the sandwich shop operated out of the former La Brea Bakery space.
You can now find "the Earl" serving its expansive menu of sandwiches, wraps, soups and salads in a new building located next to Downtown Disney's southwest entrance. The restaurant is in a soft opening period now. Within Earl of Sandwich, visitors also will find The Pub, serving draft beers, wines, frozen cocktails, and seasonal beverages.
The second floor of the building will home to Gordon Ramsay at the Carnaby, which will open later.
Earl of Sandwich's original home at Downtown Disney was attached the now-demolished movie theater building that once stood in front of the Earl's new home. The quick-service restaurant opened in 2012 then closed in 2018 to make way for a hotel project that Disneyland abandoned. It reopened in 2019 at that location before closing in 2023 and moving to the old La Brea Bakery site. That building was torn down to make way for the upcoming Porto's location at Downtown Disney.
Earl of Sandwich also has locations at the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris resorts in addition to at Disneyland.
The official grand opening for Disneyland's new Earl of Sandwich will be July 15. And yes, Luke Montagu, the 12th Earl of Sandwich, is planning to be there for the event.

Never tried this place although we have walked past it many times..
What is their best sandwich?
And Fattyack - The cookies at Gideon's Bakehouse.... sooooo damn good......
My go to is always the roast beef with cheese and creamy horseradish. My wife swears by their turkey with cranberry sauce (although that might be a seasonal item). I’ve heard Gideons is amazing and I’ve seen the lines. Thanks for the suggestion. Next time I’m there I’ll sample some of the libations at Raglan Road and hop in line :)
Gideons - really good - we have had cake and cookies- cake is average but the 1/2 pond cookies.... So damn good... The Line moves fast.
We got there at 10:30 AM for an 11 am opening.... Once they opened the line moved fast.. And there was about 50 in front of us. They also have an app where can can order and pick it up...
We will definitely try it next visit.
Plus the back story is great if you go read it online....
PS - I almost bought tickets to a private event at Epic.....
Earl of Sandwich is fantastic! My wife too swears by the Turkey and Cranberry, which was originally a seasonal item but went to a main item due to it's popularity (at least at the Disneyland location). The one I would usually get is the Full Montagu, but I've never had a bad sandwich there.

Earl of Sandwich is one of my most dependable counter service eateries of choice at Disney Springs. I just wish it wasn’t buried at the far end of the complex. Although that does give me an excuse to hit Ghiradelli’s.
