how early to get to DC?

I have read that they say you should get there around 8 but i just talked to HRH about shuttle and it leaves at 8:55. He said you just get a later swim. Does it really matter when your swim is?

Its been said an early swim is better but really if everyone tries for early swim its not going to happen

Thanks Highlander-What time had you planned on arriving at DC? we may get a cab just so it'll be quicker.

DD and I are doing Trainer for a Day and I was told we had to be there by 8 a.m. and to have water shoes.

We spent Christmas Day 2003 at DC. Arrived at approx 8.30am and stayed until gone 5pm. Had a brilliant day - one we will never forget. We swam with our dolphin, Lester, at about 11.30am although it was nearer to noon before we got in the water. This was good timing as we then spent the afternoon having lunch and talking about the experience and enjoying watching the swims of other people.

Enjoy your day, it's great!

My DD and I were about the first to arrive the day we went. I forget what time we got there, but it was pretty early! You can't get too far into the park before you have to wait anyway, but it's all so pleasant there that even the wait was fun.

I was glad DD had the first dolphin swim so that we didn't have to keep track of the time all day.

BTW, we ended up not using our water shoes. They got to be more of a pain in the neck than they were worth.

We arrived at 9:00 and got a dolphin swim time at 12:05.

We were not able to get there until 11:30 because we had ressies at CInderella's castle that morning. We ended up with a 4pm swintime which was fine. I actually liked it because I felt like the day worked up to it and wasn't anti-climatic.
