Are you counting corn dogs as hot dogs?While having the different options is really good, there is also something just inherently ridiculous about there only being one quick service venue that serves hot dogs and one venue that serves typical burgers* at the Magic Kingdom. These are easy, simple offers that don’t require a lot to do well (even if that seems to be a challenge with the burgers and pizza).
Imagine having a family with 3 kids and one wants a hot dog, a pizza and a burger and suddenly realizing that involves going to three different locations in MK.
EDIT: Just looked up the menu at Cosmic Ray's and while they have hot dogs and burgers, they do not have pizza.
It’s not that the menus should be the same everywhere, but that a park dealing with the number of people as the Magic Kingdom should 1) have more dining capacity today than 30 years ago and 2) not limit popular mainstays to only a single venue that has trouble keeping up with demand.In all fairness, a number of years ago, just about every place in the parks had the exact same menu options for kids. The Land pavilion was like heaven with fish on the menu. In my limited experience, the lack of variety was both frustrating and unhealthy for kids. I’d imagine many kids and their older folks are much happier with the way it is now. God forbid little Tommy can’t eat pizza for lunch and dinner 6 days in a row.

Hot dogs can be found at:
Casey's Corner, Cosmic Ray's, The Friar's Nook, Liberty Square Market, The Lunching Pad, and Tortuga Tavern
Also Corn Dogs at Sleepy Hollow and Westward Ho
This assumes all those locations are open and the customer is aware of their existence and menus.
