Earl of Sandwich will be returning to the Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort in February 2023.

Soon you can once again look forward to one of their hot sandwiches on artisan bread, with grab-and-go options at Earl of Sandwich or table service options at Earl of Sandwich Tavern, both of which will be temporarily located at the La Brea Bakery location.

La Brea Bakery is exiting the restaurant business after 20 years at Disneyland's Downtown Disney.

Disney says more details on the return of Earl of Sandwich will be announced in the coming weeks.

Really kicking into gear now.

Kale and Brussels sprout salad at GG’s had two half pieces of Brussels sprouts for $16, and $6 extra to add protein. It’s such a ripoff. Chicken sandwich was alright, but $8 alright, not worth $18. Sandwiches were too sweet and not spicy, chicken was juicy but over breaded. It’s almost convinced me that the influencer's got completely different samples and that’s why they were raving about it.

It seems criminal. It's a chicken sandwich. I go to Chick-Fil-A about once per month, and it's fabulous. But for $40?? No way. Looking online at current Orange County prices for Chick-Fil-A, here's the cost of the similar menu at the OC Chick-Fil-A that I used to go to over the freeway from my old place... One Chicken Sandwich with complimentary zesty buffalo sauce One Large size Waffle Fries with complimentary ranch sauce One Large Strawberry-Lemonade freshly made frosted drink Total including tax = $15.11 You can save a couple bucks by going for the medium size waffle fries and not adding strawberries to your frosted lemonade. But in general, it's 15 bucks for the same chicken sandwich meal that would cost you $40 at GG's at Downtown Disney.

This meal looks better and better all the time.

Oh he said Galactic Grill. I assumed he said Black Tap since we we were talking about DTD. Although I should have known since those burgers are more in the $20 range IIRC and I believe they come with fries.

Seoul Sister, $20- 3 pieces of pork belly.

But the burgers at Galactic Grill include fries, and they’re still $1.50 cheaper. If the chicken included fries, I think it would be much more comparable.

Just FYI, its $12 for a Frozen Lemonade, not a regular lemonade. I know that doesn't make it better, but its at least a bit more reasonable when you're considering its a frozen drink rather than a fountain drink. If that is still too much, go next door to Seoul Sister where they have $5 Yuja Lemonade.

Interesting. I guess I just assumed this food hall would have a ton of seating. I’m realizing now it’s part of what I was looking forward to — a low-stakes place in DTD to just sort of hang out.

The setup reminds me of a college dining hall. So yeah, I think it's geared at young 20-35-somethings meeting at the park.

Yeah I think the $12 lemonade is what throws things off. $13–16 for a good quality burger or chicken sandwich isn’t bad. Take out the lemonade, share two fries instead of 4 and it’s about what I’d expect for a quick service meal at DTD.

I just checked for fun, and a burger at Galactic Grill costs between $13-16. I think this price is about what I would expect given the cost of things throughout the resort and that it's a bit more elevated (it's close to LA pricing, depressingly enough). I'm also probably not going to get food here, but the pricing isn't that surprising.

Kind of makes me wonder who Disney is catering to here? Maybe the group of young adult friends where everyone is paying for themselves? Definitely not families. I’m not paying $100 -$150 for a quick service chicken sandwich meal. I’ll spend that on a sit down meal where I can be served and relax.
