I believe that I read that dinner is served Sat. night?... is dinner Friday night on your own????

Yes, you will be left to fend for your own dinner on thursday and friday. I believe you had to buy your own one or two nights last year, but I don't quite remember

Wait, you mean you're calling what we had at Epcot last year on Saturday night during the party "Dinner"??? I think not!!!! That was like finger food.

Also speaking of the team social last year, I was shocked to see how much of a slob that the FIRST community was last year at the team party. I happened to look down at the Living Seas waterway that we walked over and saw a lot of empty lemonade bottles and paper plates floating in the water!

Can we try to be a bit more civilized this year?? Clean up after yourselves people, It's not that hard!!!

I don't know if many people who think that the packages are too steep have actually priced and paid for all those things in Fla. When you add it up, it's not a bad package. Here is one that is about average:

Best Western: 4 nights stay- $239 pp.
Package includes:
Hotel accommodations for 4 nights
Thurs - Sat shuttle service between Hotel and Reliant Park
4 Breakfasts at the hotel
3 Lunch coupons to be used at Reliant Park
Two day Six Flags Ticket

I DO think that it is a very reasonable price, considering that by the time you paid for the hotel, Disney hopper pass, the $75 additional fee if you were staying off the Disney grounds, and the meal plan, you were paying at least that much--LAST YEAR!!

Disney obviously was going to charge much more this year or we would still be there. FIRST didn't want to have to reinvent the wheel: I'm sure that they compared the two costs to team members and this must have been significantly less or we'd be getting our pics with Mickey again this year.

Actually, I believe the main reason for the change was that Disney wanted to offer FIRST a weekend that would not work well, and they wouldnt compromise on another

Let's not turn this thread into a 'we aren't going to Disney because ...' thread. We've had enough of those already! :rolleyes:

The championship was originally scheduled to be at WDW in May. As I understand it, various conflicts with tests and other school-related issues resulted in a flood of requests to "have the event earlier," thus the regrouping, date change, and venue change.
