ok. first things first. FOR GODSAKES IT'S HOUSTON! ahem. thank you. now then, I think Houston is easily capable of supporting FIRST. Transportation issues can be easily resolved with charter busses from the package hotels. As the busses won't be stopping at umpteen other locations, things will work out well. Lodging is easy. 14,000 people is a small drop in a rather large bucket. The hotel rooms will end up being loads cheaper anyways, when you factor in the money you save by not buying useless park hoppers and over-priced Disney meal "coupons".
Entertainment is what you make it. There are plenty of things to do if you don't like Astroworld. There's the Space Center, and Galveston, and the Kemah Boardwalk, all south of Houston. Kemah would actually make a reasonably good replacement for Downtown Disney. Along with the Galleria, and Katy Mills Mall, and the Marque thingy (movies, shops, and a Vans Skatepark).

I spent very little time in the parks last year. Except for eating. I will miss the food at Disney. I have a friend in Houston and I am hoping that he can tell me where to good places to eat are. I am not happy about the idea of typical stadium food for 3 days.
There's a good amount of restaurants around the Dome. Most are typical chains like Chili's, etc. I know there's one REALLY good little place just north of the Dome, but I've forgotten exactly where it is.
