Which Menus are most up to date?

[Lisa75]

Sorry if this is a repeat. I have been looking at menus on All Ears, the ones right on the WDW site, and the ones on ETicket. Which ones would you say are the most correct?

Thanks

Lisa

Well-probably NONE of them are completely up to date. I would suppose the menus on Disney's own Web site would be the most accurate--

Probably right! Two of them have the GF Cafe burger still having the lobster and asparagus on it, but the ETicket one has more of a plain Angus burger listed. I guess I should have asked that specific question instead. Maybe I will post it also. Thanks!!

I think it's a toss-up.

AllEars does a pretty good job of keeping things current. And at least, they post the date of the latest update.

Disneyworld.com...well, you'd think they'd have the latest update, but given Disney IT's reputation, I don't know that I'd be confident that they are that on the ball. It's possible, but there's really no way to be sure unless they start posting the date the menu was updated right there.

eTicket...again, probably fairly up to date, but unless there's a dedicated person who's going to each of these restaurants on a regular basis and checking for changes, it's possible something could be "that new" that they haven't caught up to it yet.

Bottom line: There's probably no way to know about every single restaurant.

For me, I always check AllEars first because they date their entries. If it's something I consider out of date, I'll check disneyworld.com. When the eTicket people realize that Android phone users are a market to pitch to, I'll have an opinion on it.

I will be seriously bummed if that's gone. I've been wanting to try it. Guess I may have lost out.

an FYI- just because allears.net says it was recently updated does NOT mean the menu is current. It may have been "updated", but the info posted is not necessarily correct at all. These are all volunteer sites and depend on info submitted by others...which may or may not be correct info. There was one situation that allears continued to post for more than a year that a popular dish was still served at a restaurant...even after review after review listed the item as gone. The story was that allears was getting the menu directly from someone who worked in Disney Dining, so allears was taking it as true. Problem was, the Disney Dining person had the wrong info!

We have yet to find any menu that is totally correct, and we have been to most of the Disney restaurants in the last 3 years. Use the posted menus on the volunteer sites as suggestions of the types of food & prices you might find at that restaurant - but don't take any of them as "gospel"

The menus on Disney's own website are not necessarily up to date either...the chefs can & do switch up the menus on a regular basis - we have seen discrepancies ourselves. (Two examples come to mind --last year, Olivia's and The Rose & Crown both had different dinner menus than those that were posted on Disney website. There were minor differences at both places -- like one thing in each category was switched up.)

Disney - Pretty much Disney's website is the best as they update very frequently. They just updated a whole slew of menus in Feb. Someone up above mentioned that they don't see a date on Disney's menus, and they absolutely post a date, as all of their menus have dates. The problem with Disney is that they don't have kids' menus and they don't have all restaurants online.

All Ears - Way too many errors. I have emailed many times with updates, and they don't get fixed. It's not that difficult either as you can get many prices from Disney's website menus, as well as make ADRs for full payment meals like CRT, and get the correct price that way.

WDW Info - Better than All Ears, but still errors.

I use a combination of them, but prefer Disney's - always check the bottom of menus on Disney's website, as they stamp the date of publication on the bottom of each menu. Of course, menus can change often, such as is the case with buffets, as many of those foods are seasonal, but for the most part, Disney's menus are pretty good!

Me too, it sounds interesting. I actually was wondering for a picky eater, but I bet we can request plain if so.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful responses so far!

Absolutely, thanks!

GF Burger - I'm not sure what you all are looking at, but according to Disney's website, the menu was just updated as of Feb. and the burger is still listed. I find it highly unlikely that the chef would remove an item over the past few weeks, when menus were just updated. If you are looking at All Ears, their menu is from Aug. 09, so that's pretty outdated at this point.

I come from a restaurant family, and so menus are handled carefully. Food items are removed before (as much as can be helped) before menu updates or new menu printings are done.

I can't imagine that Disney would have changed the menu over the last few weeks.

Even those are marked "Menu items and prices are subject to change at any time without notice" so you can't know if you are looking at a completely accurate menu.

Disney.com still has Restaurantosaurus in AK as having McDonalds...but, it already has Pollo Campero (sp) on the website in DD (I don't think it's open yet, is it?)

In my experience and observation, Disney is doing a pretty admirable job of updating the menus on its official site. The company's IT department has a terrible reputation, but perhaps that is starting to change. I have noticed alterations on the Disney site well before a change was made on AllEars.

Here's a recent example: Disney's posted dinner menu for Kona Cafe includes a prix fixe three-course meal that looks wonderful. I have never seen that before. It certainly wasn't available in January, when I was at the Polynesian checking the menu. AllEars' menu does not reflect that substantial addition.
