Overview
- The new two-story Earl of Sandwich began soft operations on Friday, June 26, and is serving guests from a west-side location in Downtown Disney.
- The flagship adds The Carvery, a pastrami carving station, and The Pub, a dedicated area for draft beer, wine and frozen cocktails, alongside an expanded bakery and full sandwich menu.
- Temporary and pop-up Earl of Sandwich sites in the district have closed following the move, including the satellite near the Star Wars Trading Post.
- A formal grand opening is scheduled for July 15, 2026, with Luke Montagu, the 12th Earl of Sandwich, slated to attend, while Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby on the building’s second floor remains unfinished with no opening date announced.
- The opening closes a years-long sequence of relocations tied to Downtown Disney’s refresh and follows a June 2025 temporary-site closure that was reported to involve roughly 167 layoffs, a notable local labor impact.
