Disney Village

Earl of Sandwich is a chain of sandwich shops founded in 2004 by John Montagu, the (11th Earl of Sandwich), his son Orlando (both are direct descendants of the 4th Earl of Sandwich, inventor of the namesake food item), and Robert Earl (founder of Planet Hollywood). The company operates two other Disney locations besides this one: one in Disney Springs and one in Downtown Disney. Visitor Information: Earl of Sandwich  

This Bavarian style restaurant in Disneyland Paris’ Disney Village is inspired by King Ludwig II and his extravagant castle, the beautiful Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany which also happens to be the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland. The restaurant’s exterior façade resembles the real castle and a painting near the bar pays tribute. That’s like: true Disney inception! This location is mentioned in our blog post: The Best View in Bavaria: Seeing a Disney Castle In Real Life Official Information: DisneylandParis.com

Planet Hollywood is a chain of themed restaurants founded in 1991 whose decor showcases film props and pop culture memorabilia along with clips from classic movies shown on screens while you dine. The company was founded by Robert Earl (who also founded Earl of Sandwich) and operates two Disney locations: one in Disney Springs and one here in Disney Village. This location opened in 1996 and has remained relatively the same in terms of ambiance and displays. A number of props from both Disney and non-Disney films from the early nineties can be seen throughout the dining area. The Disney ones that stuck out are bats and balls from Angels in the Outfield (1994), hockey equipment from D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994), and a slot car from Pulp Fiction (1994) – yep, technically a Disney movie! You can also find one of Sankara’s stones from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) on display, which is pretty cool! On your way out (through the gift shop, of course) don’t miss the vintage Disneyland banner hanging proudly on the wall. Visitor Information: Planet Hollywood
