We did look into a sleeper when we booked but the pice for 5 us as we went was $630., add in a sleeper and the price was $1,830. We did not feel that it was worth the $1,200.

Well we tried the train, Boston to Orlando and back as our first try and as we got off in Boston last night my 8 year old seemed to sum it up, Amtrak, we are going to miss you, NOT! We took a full 195 to NY, got the 91 to Orlando and on the way home took the 92 to Wash and the 194 to Boston, i...

Taking #91 to Orlando, heard that some trains have power outlets at the seat, does this one? If they do what type of plug 120 vlot or 12 volt? Thanks

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the info, we are looking forward to the trip and hope that it all works out.

We will be getting on just outside of Boston, we have been told that there is no checked luggage until we change trains in NY which means we will be carrying a weeks worth of stuff onto the train. The station has 2 tracks, 1 inbound and 1 outbound.

Since I have my tickets already, when we get to the station do we just go to the platform or do we have to check in at the counter, we are at a countered station.

This was set up by Amtrak when I booked. I plugged in Boston to Orlando and this is what they gave me. We get on the 6:30 AM train out of Boston Sat morning #195 I think and get to NY at 10:45 to jump on #91 at 11:30Am, 24 hours or SO later we will be in Orlando, that is what we have been...

We are 4 days from our first train trip, Boston to Orlando. Our fingers are crossed that the timing works for us, we change trains in NY and the schedule shows that we have 45 minuts so I hope we are on time. Once on in NY the on time is not quite as important. The 5 of us are looking forward...

Again, thanks for the info and the other sites to look at. We will be leaving the Boston area on a Sat morning about 6:45 and changing trains in NY arriving in Orlando at 11:45 the next morning. The kids are 15, 12 and 8. We have traveled in the past, the kids have been to Disney once and...

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for this info. I was going to start off with "this is probably a stupid question but", but I would then hear there are no stupid questions. Again, thanks for the answers.

Ok here we go, what is the difference between NY Penn Station and Newark Penn Station. I have seen them both listed and not sure if they are different or not. The reason I ask is that we change trains at NY Penn and with my luck we will miss the right stop. Thanks

Hi, we are new to train travel other than a few trips into Boston on the commuter rail. Our family of 5 will be getting on an AM train just outside of oston and heading to Orlando. We are on 1 train to NY Penn and on the way home we switch trains in Washington. We went with 5 reserved coach...
