I've been giving this a lot of thought. I really liked WDW. The question is why? Well I think I know.

Presentation is everything.

I think of past championships I've been to (all at WDW) and I look at how they were staged. For example. this year if you watched the big screen while Woody was announcing the awards what you saw behind him was the concrete floor. Look at the year before and there are nice blue backgrounds and plants. Pull up the video from last year and then this year, the presentation just wasn't there (sorry this is sounding like a gripe). Bottom line is that where Nationals is held is not as important as how it's done. Disney knows how to put on a show. I'm sure there are other that can as well.

Bottom line is I love FIRST and what it stand for. Hold nationals in a corn field on old crates and I'll support it!

If the FIRST staff is reading, Thank you for all the hard work you do!
