Never ordered child meals but if it’s not available online you probably would need to call in.

They have extras but those are also the crew meals. As I mentioned before, they don’t just run out and that’s it. Even after taking your order, they may still come back to ask you to switch to the other option because they didn’t load enough of what you have selected.
