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!)
Greg Hale's a really nice guy. It sucks, somewhat, that they made him Chief Safety Officer of the Walt Disney Company.

Anyway, might I suggest y'all look into the Anaheim Convention Center? It's a large, indoor facility, it's located in a tourist-driven economy with plenty of hotel rooms and convenient transportation, and it's across the street from both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure.

To me, that seems like the perfect shift away from Epcot.
