They can always join AMC and House of Blues at the Anaheim Gardenwalk.

RideMakerz also just opened a week ago at Gardenwalk.

That nightclub at the northern entrance to Gardenwalk is quite problematic.

I thought this was a joke but you are right. Wow. What a stupid name for a store and I'm amazed it was in Downtown Disney so long and is still around now.
How is that surf store still up too?

The one that sold "surf" clothing to very pale Seattleites and Canadians? Good question.
I just checked. According to the website, it's still there. Canadians rejoice!
Now that Earl of Sandwich and everything else has officially closed, construction walls have gone up.

True. But considering that for the last four years it's only been a sandwich place and a Starbucks, you could make improvements by just doing some sidewalk chalk drawings and adding a Coke machine.
Downtown Disney's entire western flank had its business model collapse in recent years; Big Box Theme Restaurants and movie theaters are very 1998, but quite sad in 2022. It needed to be bulldozed and completely rebuilt as something new.
Let's just hope a Multi-Cultural Mid Century Modern Stunning Lifestyle Space works here.

I'm right there with you. I never understood the frenzied mania for that restaurant or their food.
It was a reasonably good sandwich, don't get me wrong. But it was just a sandwich. With cafeteria grade tomato soup, plus bags of chips, and a serve yourself Coke machine. It was not life-altering fare, although some folks treated it as such.
I will forever be baffled by the adulation for Earl of Sandwich (an admittedly very clever name!). It's a sandwich place.

Looks like the perfect spot for Mid Century Modern Security Screening and an Immersive, Multi-Cultural Stunning Lifestyle Space.
Also known as... theme park security checks next to a strip mall with a lawn.
Anyone want to back off their claim that the white space agey shade structure shown in this official rendering is not the new security screening area to enter Downtown Disney and the theme park security envelope?
Last chance, kids...

LOL. You need to add "immersive" in there someplace.
