Re: Wrap Up Party!
 

I didn't dislike it, I didn't play any games, I didn't eat that much food, but I enjoyed running around spending time with friends. old and new. FIRST is supposed to be about spending time with people anyway, it shouldn't matter the quality of the party they put on, but rather the quantity of the people gathered to be together.

I don't consider $90 to be "free," but I agree that it was a very good party. I especially liked the games, obstacle courses, etc. While not all the teams were there, many or most of them were.

I felt like the 90 dollar pricetag for the people who didnt stay in FIRST hotels was a bit over the top, if it had been reasonable I would have been glad to shell out 30-40 dollars but 90 dollars for that was not worth it

In 2002 I had to pay $30 for the team party in EPCOT. While there were more things to do this year than that year in EPCOT, I agree with the others here that if I were to pay the $90 for the party this year, I would feel overcharged.
And in retrospect, I felt overcharged in 2002 as well, but hey.. It was a FIRST party.

For all of you who are likely to pay a charge next year if it exists, hook up with a team or a bunch of teams and ask them if they have any extra wristbands. I know we had at least one that we gave out to a team alumni, who came down seperately and would have not otherwise gotten one.

hook up Ultimate next year! yea, i would have paid 30 in a sec, but 90, psshhh thats crazy

Re: Wrap Up Party!
 

Of course, $90 seems like a lot of money, but for those who haven't seen this thread, it breaks things down quite nicely, and a lot of good information is given about operating expenses.

It won't change the $90 tag, but it did make me feel a little better with some insight as to where the money is going.

Re: Wrap Up Party!
 

I thought the party was really great because I was able to hang out with some friends from other teams I meet the night before.

not saying its not going to a good cause at all, its just i didnt plan on spending that kind of money, and it made the difference between me going and not going
