Tom Hanks Presents Special Pandemic Diploma for 2020 Graduates

Tom Hanks Presents Special Pandemic Diploma for 2020 Graduates. First and foremost: Congratulations to ALL the 2020 Graduates! Wether you are graduating from College, High School, and even to the 8th Grade, Elementary, Kindergarten, or Preschool graduates, the entire team at Chip & Co. is very proud of your dedication to education. We know you may feel robbed on the symbolism of going through a tradition graduation, but YOU DID IT! And THAT is worthy of celebration, even if we have to do it at a safe distance.

It seems Disney Legend Tom Hanks (Toy Story), who himself beat COVID-19 this year, wants to help you celebrate this major accomplishment too. Hanks shared a tweet with a photo of a special Diploma he had created for 2020 Graduates that worked hard and managed to finish their education despite the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Tom shared, ” To all the Grads of 2020, you Chosen Ones! Print this up on sheepskin! Hanx”

Clearly he is not serious about the sheepskin part, but the intention is clear. 2020 Grads deserve to celebrate this major accomplishment and be commended on their efforts to pursue their degrees despite the craziness going on in the world.

To the Class of 2020, hang this Honorary Diploma up with pride and we would love, Love, LOVE, to see your photos and hear your stories about how you celebrated your well deserved graduation in the comments! Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Disney and congratulations Class of 2020! You DID it!

Review! YES. We’re Eating Pepperoni Pizza Bread and Mac & Cheese at Earl of Sandwich in Disney World!

We’re back at Disney Springs today to eat…again — we ATE at A LOT of restaurants yesterday, which you can see here!

Earl of Sandwich

We’re here ready to do lunch at Disney World’s Earl of Sandwich today. Let’s go check it out!

Earl of Sandwich continues to use disposable paper menus today (as we mentioned yesterday)!

Earl of Sandwich Menu

Originally, we had plans to order a side of Wings and Wedges which were on the menu, but we were told they didn’t have them in stock.

We ended up going with Hawaiian BBQ, Wings, Mac and Cheese, and Pepperoni Pizza Bread instead — with a side of Frose! Like we mentioned yesterday, each register has a newly-installed plexiglass shield.

In the dining room there are fewer tables and they have been spaced apart. Most of the tables inside were occupied.

There were still places for some guests to sit off to the side.

When we placed our order we were given a pager.

We went to get our order from the pick-up window which has also been enclosed with more plexiglass. Everything was wrapped to-go and we carried our lunch outside where the tables have also been moved around to give guests more space to dine.

Food

For $8.99 this Frose was pretty darn tasty. We would definitely order it again on a hot day at Disney Springs!

Next, we located our plastic cutlery — the handles were unwrapped while the ends were covered in plastic.

We dove right into the Mac and Cheese for $5.49, (which we already knew would be freaking awesome, only somehow it seemed tastier than ever before!) as it just our imagination or was there an extra layer of cheese melted on top? Either way, it totally hit the spot.

Next, we got to work on our Hawaiian BBQ Sandwich which cost us $7.99! Hello, old friend! How we missed your shiny metallic red, blue, and silver foil wrapper!

Oh my goodness, you guys. The flavors in this sandwich are such a good mix. Let’s just say Earl of Sandwich knew what they were doing when they created this anything-but-little tropical delight!

Hawaiian BBQ Sandwich

Even if you’re normally completely against pineapple on anything warm, you might actually want more pineapple on this bad boy! The ham was really tasty while the chicken in the sandwich isn’t very flavorful on its own, but when you bite into all the ingredients at once, it’s a mind-blowing experience.

Last up, the Pepperoni Pizza Bread for $6.99. For us, this looked a whole lot better than it ended up being. We think the pizza at Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza or Pizza Ponte are better options if you’re in the mood. The pizza itself was good, but the crust was a little thick for our liking and it had a little too much sauce. We can be a little nit-picky when it comes to our pizza, though, so don’t be afraid to try it out!

Overall

Wow! We can’t believe how long it’s been since we enjoyed some Earl of Sandwich! We’re VERY full and energized after such a tasty meal! The food was fresh, filling, and delicious. Dining  here is a little different due to all of the changes, but our service and food were great!
