That's great info, thanks.

Anyone been through SHJ? I've read horror stories about going through immigration there (2-3 hours), but also just today read that one can sometimes make it though in as little as 12 minutes. According to Google Maps, when there is no traffic, DWC is about 33 minutes further away from the resort than SHJ...
