I thought the new Dashboard removed the ability to open the CD drive when it took over the F12 key. It turns out that it didn't! Simply hold down the F12 key for a second or two instead of just hitting it, and the CD drive will open.
[robg adds: This feature has actually worked this way for a long time, but with the advent of Dashboard and its use of F12, I thought it might be worth repeating. It will only work, I believe, on keyboards that lack the eject key.]
