Let me preface by saying that I understand traveling in F with young child is divisive and my questions are all First World problems. However, I will be traveling in ANA F for the first time soon and lucky to have my 5 1/2 year old daughter with me. Looking forward to having this trip together.

She is very well-behaved and fairly savvy traveler, but still would like kids snacks and toys, of course. Do I need to contact/inform the airline prior to advise them of her age to have some of those items available? Do I need to order a child's meal for her and if I do, will that preclude her from trying the onboard F menu?

Thanks in advance for any insight and suggestions.
