Earl of Sandwich pop-up opens in Downtown Disney

The take-out trailer is a temporary solution while a new restaurant is built in Downtown Disney's west end.

The Earl of Sandwich pop-up trailer that has been sitting idle for six months outside the former ESPN Zone has finally opened for business as the often-on-the-move sandwich shop awaits a new permanent home in Downtown Disney’s west end.

The temporary Earl of Sandwich pop-up location next to the Star Wars Trading Post has officially opened, according to the Downtown Disney Instagram account.

The Earl of Sandwich pop-up trailer serves a curated menu with a limited selection of sandwiches, wraps and salads. The full menu is expected to appear on the Disneyland website later this week.

Both the new pop-up food stand and current Earl of Sandwich restaurant near the esplanade between Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will continue to operate in Downtown Disney.

A closing date has not yet been announced for the east end Earl of Sandwich. The former La Brea Bakery location will eventually be demolished to make way for a new Porto’s Bakery.

The Earl of Sandwich pop-up is open daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Earl of Sandwich restaurant near the esplanade is open daily from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
