How we handle menus and prices
We do not mirror full live menus. Disney changes hundreds of menu items across its US resorts in a single month, and any site claiming a complete live menu database is either doing enormous manual work or is quietly out of date.
What we maintain instead is the part that stays true: what each restaurant is, how it is served, who it suits, whether the reservation is worth chasing, and a curated set of signature items with prices we have actually checked and dated. Every price on this site carries the month it was verified. If that month is old, treat the number as a guide and not a promise.
