Earl of Sandwich: A Simple Meal Fit For Royalty

Posted on by Andrew Rossi
One of our favorite counter service restaurants at Disney World is actually found at Downtown Disney. The irony of this restaurant is that it is not actually Disney-owned, but part of a chain that has locations all across the United States. Nevertheless, when it comes to counter service dining, there are not too many locations at Disney World that can match Earl of Sandwich.

Jim’s Attic: Farewell to Cap’n Jack’s

Posted on by AllEars
Cap'n Jack's Restaurant was an informal, New England-ish, nautically themed restaurant at the Downtown Disney Marketplace on the east side. The restaurant had been a staple on the waterfront since The Lake Buena Vista Shopping Village opened in 1975. In fact, both opened on the very same day and for years afterward Cap'n Jack's was considered the place to visit on WDW property in the evenings. Originally, it was called Cap'n Jack's Oyster Bar and was a location where adults could grab cocktails and appetizers in the early days of Walt Disney World. Obviously, it specialized in seafood and was one of the very few locations on or near WDW property that was open until the wee hours.

Disney World’s Limited Time Magic allows guests to donate Duffy bears to Toys For Tots

Posted on by AllEars
When the winter holiday season arrives, many parents look for concrete ways to demonstrate to their children the importance of giving to those who are less fortunate. For some, that mission is accomplished through their places of worship. For others, it is through community groups and charities. One donation method, though, that is easy for … Continue reading "Disney World’s Limited Time Magic allows guests to donate Duffy bears to Toys For Tots"
