So I was reading on another forum that 'Ohana is no longer serving chicken. Well as of today, according to the Disney website, it is true. Only shrimp, pork, and steak. Anyone know why?

Dang. It must have crossed the road.
(Seriously, though -- it seems to be in keeping with Disney's general trend of "simplifying," a/k/a offering fewer options but for higher prices, at all the Table Service restaurants. By way of example, in the months since we booked our ADR at Cinderella's Royal Table, I've noticed that the dinner menu has changed to eliminate the "all you care to enjoy" component while keeping the ardly portions the same, cut down the number of entree options to eliminate the priciest proteins (e.g. lamb, which was replaced by a dish featuring rice as the main component), while the cost for the meal has been increased.) Where I come from, that's as blatant a bait-and-switch ripoff as you can get.

I saw this last night on another forum as well. I find it interesting that it's chicken being cut. I would assume it's the cheapest of the main meats offered.

Fozzie Bear: Hey, you're not a penguin. You're a chicken. I told you chickens to stay on the other side of the road.
[to no one in particular]
Fozzie Bear: Okay, everyone, why did this chicken cross the road?
Camilla: Ba-gawk, buck, ba-gawk, bawk, bawk, bawk.
Fozzie Bear: Oh, that's funny. Hey, everyone, why did the chicken cross the road?

Major bummer. Well, we won't be going there this fall like I planned. DD pretty much only eats chicken so that's a big "no go" for us.

Ugh, so annoyed as we have reservations with friends for next week and I cannot physically eat pork or steak without potential issues (EE). I guess shrimp it is!

Does anyone even think to consider perhaps it's only temporary? Maybe some of the chicken they received was tainted, bad, etc...

I hope so but in that case would imagine it would have to be property-wide and doesn't seem to be... unsure of how the WDW restaurants work from a purchasing standpoint, but would make sense to source from same places and aggregate orders for ingredients. (I could be WAY off base though.) Kona still has chicken too which suggests...

and I thought I was disappointed when they replaced the turkey with the chicken! LOL The chicken and shrimp were always my fav part (next to the pot stickers and noodles) of the meal

Chicken was really the only meat I liked out of their offerings....of course I get so full on the wings, noodles and potstickers and salad.....

Thats a bummer, we have an ADR there this fall. I love all the food, but my wife doesn't like beef and is so so on pork, so she will be more upset to see the chicken go. Hopefully its temporary!

The chicken was my favorite meat! Ugh, not good! I suppose I can fill up on everything else but why cut things and keep raising the prices? It's getting ridiculous.

Assuming it is a permanent change (fingers crossed that it is only temporary), perhaps they are hoping that the general public will find losing the chicken the least upsetting option since it is the only meat served twice during the meal. Now, if they also eliminate the yummy chicken wings too, then I say it's time to riot.

Well this is the worst news of the week so far.
I wish it was the worse for me...and it's only Tuesday
