At last visit to DLR, I stayed at CCI and used the shuttle (June 2004). The shuttle at that time dropped off away from the maingate area, nearer to the drive-in entrance off S. Harbor Blvd. I don't have enough posts yet in this forum that'll allow me to include urls, but if you're interested, I can email you an aerial link that will show exactly where the dropoff is located, at least from my last visit. Let me know.
Blessings, Edlyn
