There will also be some vending options called OC To Go that will be coming to the airport, serving a variety of items like made-to-order pizza, Krispy Kreme donuts, Wow Bao bao and dumplings, fresh salads, smoothies, and coffee.

As you can see in the concept artwork from HMSHost released above, Anaheim Ducks Breakaway Bar & Grill will also be revamped with a new look and menu. There will also be several popular brands like Dunkin’, Panera Bread, Starbucks, Auntie Anne’s, Bonchon, The Habit Burger Grill, and Earl of Sandwich opening as well.

Earl of Sandwich at Downtown Disney is a favorite restaurant amongst Disneyland visitors, so this is bound to be a popular addition! Let's just hope that the Earl of Sandwich restaurant delivers the same high level of quality that the location in Downtown Disney does.
