Photos: Former Downtown Disney Earl of Sandwich Location Completely Demolished for Upcoming Porto's Bakery & Cafe

We have reached a new milestone towards the highly anticipated Disneyland Porto’s location, as the former Earl of Sandwich building has been completely demolished. 

What’s Happening:

• On a recent trip to the Disneyland Resort, Laughing Place had a chance to check on the current construction progress of the upcoming Porto’s location coming to Downtown Disney. 
• Located in between the Esplanade and the World of Disney store, Porto’s will be a first-of-its-kind concept for the popular SoCal Cuban restaurant. 
• Featuring sit-down table service and a full bar, as well as the signature Cheese Rolls, Potato Balls, and other favorites, foodies and Disney fans will be able to experience Porto’s like never before. 
• Construction on the project has reached a new milestone, as the building that formerly housed Earl of Sandwich (and La Brea Bakery before that) is now completely demolished. 

• Hidden behind construction walls, it shouldn’t be long before we see the new building rise. 
• It will also use space that formerly housed unused ticket booths, meaning this presumed to be a popular spot will be massive.

• While we don’t have an opening timeframe for the restaurant, it is great to see significant progress made with the restaurant being formally announced back in 2022. 
• Earl of Sandwich will open in a new permanent location on the West Side of Downtown Disney near Disneyland Hotel, and, in the meantime, guests can enjoy a popup location just next to Star Wars Trading Post. 
• For those looking to head out to the Happiest Place on Earth, Laughing Place recommends Mouse Fan Travel.
