Creator's Key Takeaways

She is a small girl. It is not going to offer a lot, but what it does offer has character, has charm, and it is a really goodized ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try to avoid coming in the Windjammer during rush hours or peak hours.
If you're coming for breakfast, try to come before 8 o'clock and then after 9:30.
Make sure you clear your table when eating outside to avoid seagulls attacking your food.
Parents should put controls in place with guest services on how much kids can spend in the arcade.
