Good afternoon.

We have booked to go to DC whilst we are on our Disney break - seriously cant wait - it looks so relaxing!

If you have been before what time is best to get there for?

Any top tips for the day?

Thanks all

The earlier you get there the earlier your dolphin swim is, check the opening times and get there early if you would rather have an early swim

+1 for getting there early. We arrived about 7:30am and were not first. Get booked in early for the dolphin swim then you can just relax. We spent most of the day in the reef pool. Absolutely incredible.

Get there early about 7.30/ 8am then you can get breakfast. You only get allocated the dolphin swim on arrival so the earlier you get there the better. All your food, snacks, drinks are included in the price. I would go for lunch a bit earlier as can get quite busy. Sun cream is provided as you cant use your own. Water shoes that wont come off are good as can get rough on the ground in the water whilst waiting for the dolphins. Leave jewelry at home as you cant wear it.
Cant think of anything else. You will love it. Im going for the 3rd time in May :-)

What time do they stop serving breakfast?

What time does lunch start and finish?

We took our own snorkel masks, but you can use theirs. We also bought a waterproof compact camera and used it for the entire holiday. Got some great underwater photos of the fishes.

Its a great day, nothing more to add to the already stated get there early... we also going again this trip and cant wait!

We always get there at 7:15am and are in the park at 7:30am straight to breakfast. I have been 5 times now and would go again at the drop of a hat. Fantastic place.

Same as above posts we were there for 7.20 and there was quite a queue already, so certainly not after 7.30.

Following this thread, I go for the first time in May, I can't wait!
Out of interest, how far is it away from Disney, I'm staying at AKL, just wondering how long it will take to get there
