Why Nationals were in Houston in 2003...

Let's look at a calendar, in 2003 Easter was in the middle of the month of April. Disney didn't want us to hold Nationals there the two adjecent weekends to Easter because they normally fill up the park with people on school vacations, so they wouldn't have needed our business at that time anyway. Meaning, they would have been loosing money if they did invite us to hold the event at that time.

Last summer I recall a thread about having Nationals in May, and many were complaining that they would miss AP exams, finals, ect... So we concluded that two weeks after Easter would have been too late to hold Nationals.

Two weeks before easter would have been too early... so what did FIRST do?

Held Nationals the weekend before Easter at a different location... it was the only choice.

I believe that for next year, if the holidays and regional dates are in our favor... then Nationals will be back in Disney.
