Deep-menu pass gaps

376 Disney-listed location/service entries are cataloged; 289 have some published item pricing/meal-price summaries, 87 remain unpriced. 29 events and 64 secondary-only candidates are recorded separately; none is silently promoted to a currently operating extra restaurant.

Holiday Kitchens still shows 2025 highlights, not complete 2026 menus. Finish party/holiday/Arts/Flower & Garden menus by year and sale window.
M08 (P0)Dietary safety cannot be inferred from snapshotsDisney policy says no guarantee against allergens/cross-contact. October 6 classification change means coconut/shea and other reclassified ingredients may appear in allergy-friendly options. Confirm with trained staff every time.
