Note that time dilation is not an experience. It is only an observation that is measured by someone else.
If you approached the event horizon of a black hole, then you would just cross it normally. You wouldn't slow down.
If I tried to observe someone crossing the event horizon of a black hole from far away then they would literally never cross it from my frame of reference. And yet, they still do.
