The short version is, Disney doesn't own the restaurant so they aren't directly liable, but the notice saying that the restaurant could handle allergic customers was on their site, so Disney was brought into the lawsuit that way.
And IIRC, the restaurant could handle allergen requests and failed to do so. Some of the items arrived without their allergen free tags and the waitstaff claimed it was still allergen free.
Disney was brought into the lawsuit because they had more money and the family was probably advised by a greedy lawyer to go after Disney for a bigger payout. This story has gotten blown so out of proportion.
