Here is the real scoop

The location of nationals for next year has not been decided, but among the possibilities are Epcot, the City of Orlando, Reliant, and several others. Dave Brown of FIRST told me the competiton was put out for bid. The FIRST competiton was not held at Epcot this year because of scheduling conflicts, not because Disney hates FIRST. (Greg Hale of Disney is on the FIRST BoD!)

Honestly I don't know where that garbage comes from,
but don't state as fact things that are mere speculation.

There are problems at any venue - Texas this year was great - but if the weather hadn't cooperated, it wouldn't have been quite as much fun. The FIRST events have become so large that accommodating them is a big job, that very few venues can handle. (The Team Hammond mentors were suggesting Vegas, but I don't think that will happen!)

Just chill, and feel the thrill.
