Disney adds to the fun
I am beginning my 7th year on a FIRST team, and, while the purpose of Nationals is the competition, I still look forward to going to the Disney parks as part of the trip. Our team has been lucky in having a sponsor which helps with the expenses so I understand what teams without such sponsors deal with. Still, the Nationals would not be the same, or as much fun if it were held in a dome stadium in Kansas rather than at Disney. (no offence toward any Kansans out there)
We have stayed both on and off Disney property. When on property, we stay at the cheapest hotels, All Star Sports or Music. The availablility of continuous access to transportation makes on-site much better, though when off-site we were in a somewhat nicer hotel for probably about the same price.
