Today in Disney Parks & Resorts History - Earl of Sandwich

February 28, 2004 - Walt Disney World


Earl of Sandwich opens at Walt Disney World's Downtown Disney Marketplace.  The shop is named in honor of the man who is credited with inventing the sandwich in 1762 - British Naval officer John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich.  Montagu's living descendant, the 11th Earl of Sandwich (also John Montagu) and his son collaborated with the people behind the Planet Hollywood chain to develop the quick-service sandwich shop, which features a wide selection of made-to-order delights such as this Hawaiian sandwich, made with ham and fresh pineapple.
