Kids menu question

[Jamie]

I'm taking my two kids ages 11 and 8 on the capital limited. We are going to have a sleeper each way. The question is when it's time to go to the dining car do my kids have to eat off the kids menu if they are under 12 or do they have to order off the kids menu? I know dinner is included with your sleeper. And don't want have to pay for upgrade your meal. Thank you!

Nope, they'll be able to have whatever they want.

Wow! Well then my eight-year-old will definitely order the full steak dinner!

And it goes the other way, also. I've ordered lunch off the kids' menu.

And remember, soft drink, milk, salad at lunch/dinner and dessert at lunch/dinner are all included. Often if we can't manage the dessert, we ask that it be packaged up for having later in our room. It doesn't work for ice cream, though.

And, BTW, it is the Capitol Limited, not Capital Limited.

No need to worry about Ice Cream, it is no longer offered on the Dining Car menus.

And the CZ, but I think those are old, not yet updated menus.

I never had any problems bringing the ice cream back to my room. A little ice and it will keep for an hour or so.

As was said the Ice Cream is No Mas!

Tonight on the Texas Eagle the desert choices were Cheesecake in a Cup, Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Syrup in a Cup, and Sugar Free Banana Pudding!

None are especially good IMO! But the Angus Steak was Delicious, one of the Best I've had on Amtrak!

I remember it being Haagen Dazs. It was reported here that it changed to Blue Bunny. I guess some might conceder it lucky that the Blue Bunny didn't last for long.

I actually don't mind Blue Bunny. That's all my grandmother buys as far as ice cream so it just reminds me of child hood. Personally I would rather have gelato on board but that might be deemed too good.

Was on the Coast Starlight (#14 Oct 5-6 and #11 Oct 16-17) ... the Greek Yogurt Cheesecake was "ok"; my wife liked the "Warm Date Pudding cake".
