changed allergy information on menus to say that foods that had peanuts in them were safe for people with allergies, added profanity to menus, and at one point changed all fonts used on menus to Wingdings

These 3 things are on so different levels of damage.

I wonder if somebody just made up one of them... or another person added one afterwards.

Two of those are wacky japes, one of them is attempted something in the somethingth degree. Wasn't long ago someone did actually die in a Disney park due to nut allergies.

Or the employee was an allergy denialist. I know many people like that, and at least one almost killled a person, for the sole reason of some people claiming to ge gluten intolerant because of their health guru saw some people losing weight due to their primary carb source became expensive (it had a weird positive side effect of such item being more available, although early on some of such items secretly contained gluten).

A while back a woman died after eating at a Disney restaurant and being assured that the food she was ordering was allergen free. Disney responded very poorly to the husband's suit, but I wonder if the Disney employee believed things were allergen free because of one of these hacked menus.

This is exactly what Disney is trying to do by throwing an ex employee under the bus.

If people's lives depend on your systems, and your systems can be undermined by a single person and not caught for years, then you're playing with people's lives.

Secondly, even if this was the case, how could they possibly justify trying to get out of being accountable by saying she signed away her rights by using a free month of Disney+?

This is just Disney moving on to their next bullshit excuse to not pay after the first one didn't work.
