Which one is correct?

[letthewookiewin]

I like to print out menus from the restaurants that we are going to eat at on our trip. My DH and I look over the ones we are going to eat at the next day while we sit on the balcony of our resort as our DS's fall asleep. Normally, I use allears.net to get the menus. After I made our ADR's I went to get the menus, and for some reason I couldn't pull up Deb's site on my laptop. I noticed that this site had menus, so I started to pull them off. I noticed though that some of the menus were different. Which one is right? I just want to make sure that I print off the most correct one right before we leave on our trip.

Because menus change so frequently, neither is 100% correct. For example, I looked at the menus both here and on Allears before my May trip. Several items I had planned to order were no longer being served. At Le Cellier, they had a new cold spicy watermelon soup, that is not listed on either Allears or the menus here on the DIS. The menus are just to give you an idea of what a particular restaurant serves. Moderators on both the DIS and on Allears do their best to keep menus current, but unless someone sends them a new updated menu, they have no way of doing so. I find some on Allears are more current (they have the date they were updated) and find some here on the DIS are more current (unfortunately the ones here on the DIS don't usually have the dates they were updated). My long winded point is, don't depend on any published menu to be absolutely current.

I would assume that both sites endeavor to keep their menus up to date.. I know on the Dis, the Content team works very hard at this..

Since Disney can change their menus whenever they feel like with no notification to us, I would say that we do our darn best to keep them updated. Recently I had a chef message me and tell me that he had changed his menu and then sent it to me and I sent it along to our content team....

As you post on the Dis, I would hope that you would have faith in our efforts to keep the Dis as up-to-date as we can.

Have a great time in WDW.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one doing this. I thought it was the obsessive overplanner in me.

If you have a PDA or smartphone there is a site you can subscribe to for like $8 one time charge and you can download attraction times, park hours, menus etc. to your PDA. I've used it for several years now. They even have it for your iPod now.

All you have to do is download a reader called isilo or plucker (free) and your set. Steve updates weekly when there are changes.

As Mackey Mouse says, our site does it's level best to keep current with menus. BUt even as I am typing this , probably some menu item at some Disney restaurant was changed.
So the menus will probably never be totally and completely up to date.

No menu should ever really be considered "the right one". The only "right ones" are the one posted outside the restaurant on that day and the one you get handed when you are seated.

I have been "burned" by relying on an internet menu but my mistake was that I went somewhere that only had one thing that interested me. Since then, I only choose restaurants that have at least two things I would enjoy. And even then, I check the outside menu before we are seated just to be on the safe side.

I would be nice if the dis menus also had a date, just to help in planning.

Everyone I know keeps telling me that I have OCD. I am planning a December 2008 trip, an October 2009 Grand Gathering, and a mommy and daddy only trip in July 2010 that DH says we're not taking (but I say we are).

I wonder if this would work with my Samsung Blackjack. It is Windows based.

This sounded fantastic, so I checked it out. While I think it's probably perfect for hours, parade times, etc., it is pulling the menus from allears.net. Those are right on the money lots of the time, but not always as some have said. Disney can make changes at any time with no notice to anyone.

Every incarnation of the Flying Fish menu that I've seen has included a vegetarian entree. However, this past January, there was no such entree included on the menu, and what they offered was pretty, well, just ok. Kind of disappointing.

View the menus as a guide and not as a guaranteed thing - just to be safe.

I was pleased to see Mackey Mouse's post above, saying how hard the Dis works to keep the menus up to date. One thing that would help would be to indicate the date on which the menu was obtained. But kudos to the Dis for working so hard on these menus. I know they're a great resource to all.
