DVC Mary, Having just returned from the May 8th Western, JenLynn is correct with the earilest drop off time being 7 PM. Another option you may want to consider is the Romantic Escape at Sea package which DW and I did on our cruise. For $299 you get a welcome aboard gift basket in your room, reservations at Palo's, Spa treatments for two with pre boarduing reservations, and a champagne breakfast in bed (be careful and make sure you order two of things you both want or room service will only deliever one serving - this includes the champagne). The best part about this package is that all the reservations are done about two weeks before you cruise when you are called by the Disney reservation coordinater. All we had to do when we boarded was check our DD and DS into the clubs then we were off to lunch.
