'Ohana question/allergy request

[kasey1988]

We have never dined at Ohana before, but am looking into it for our upcoming trip.. We are thinking dinner rather then breakfast (you can get breakfast anywhere I feel). But the menu I was looking at says the bread is a coconut bread, my issue is I'm allergic to coconut (just to eat it), do they have another option that they could bring to the table? The rest of the food looks very delicious in the pictures I've seen, is this a good choice?

Ok- no coconut allergies in our party, but DD6 has peanut and tree nut allergies. We were not given the bread b/c it has a cross contamination risks for her allergies. There were sadly no substitue breads given either. Maybe others have had different experiences, but that was ours with 'Ohana, bread, and food allergies.

My fiancee has peanut/tree nut allergies and this was the same experience for us.

Can't say about your allergies, but my wife had numerous options with a gluten intolerance. This included dessert!!! We have done breakfast and dinner several times and the chef has always found alternates for her. It's unusual for them to not come up with alternates. They are really good with this!

The bread pudding for dessert has coconut too I believe.

Honestly, you get SO MUCH food so fast brought to you, you won't hardly have time for bread, so I wouldn't worry. You'll have plates and plates of noodles and salad and potstickers before you can even grab for the bread.

Ohana is one of our favorite restaurants on Disney property!! Regarding your allergies, note that on your ADRs. Like @coachwnh said, they are really good with allergies and finding alternatives. We went with a friend a few years ago who was allergic to shellfish so the chef came out, and said she'd be fine with the pork, beef and chicken options. Im sure they will do their best to accomodate you. You are going to love it!!!!!!!

That reminds me...I don't think coconut comes up as one of the allergy options when booking ADRs. The FDA considers a coconut a tree nut, but most allergists I've talked to don't lump it in with the tree nuts and I know for certain that DD6 was not prohibited at WDW from eating things with coconut. In fact, most people who have coconut allergies are often fine with the common tree nuts. OK- I'll stop playing dr You might be best contacting Special Diets before your trip as they often have to intervene if the allergy doesn't fall under one of the more common allergies.

Although you may not be able to enjoy the bread, there is not a chance in WDW you will leave Ohana any less than completely stuffed. There are so many incredible things brought out to you rapid fire that you won't even miss the bread, I promise! Have a wonderful dinner and vacation!

There is so much good delicious grilled meats and other food you won't even want to waste your appetite on bread anyway. Ohana dinner is my favorite WDW restaurant so far.
