Don't forget that FIRST re-opened the registration after teams cancelled. There were also
more teams than last year (even with the war). 293 versus 289. Yeah, that's right, MORE. If anything, teams should be able to bring just as many, if not, more students because the packages, according to FIRST, are lower in price than the disney packages.
Overall, I think Disney is a much better choice for the competition, because you get spectators from ALL OVER THE WORLD that drop by because they are visiting the theme park. Last year FIRST estimated that 20,000 people were there.
