Downtown Disney Earl of Sandwich History

The former Earl of Sandwich location closed and was demolished in 2022. The restaurant moved into the former La Brea Bakery building in 2023. Disney announced in 2022 that La Brea would be replaced by Porto’s Bakery, but the project was delayed, leaving room for Earl of Sandwich to temporarily take over.

New Permanent Earl Of Sandwich Location

The new permanent Earl of Sandwich location on the west side will open this winter.

Construction is underway on the new Earl of Sandwich location, and the La Brea Bakery building will finally be demolished to make space for Porto’s.

The new two-story Earl of Sandwich will include a quick-service walk-up counter on the first floor and Carnaby Tavern cocktail bar on the second.

The fate of the Earl of Sandwich pop-up pod near the Star Wars Trading Post is still unclear.
