They all have someplace to go and something to do and it's all "G" rated! Being on Disney property is like being in a different world and there are no worries when you're there.
My vote is still for Epcot but Atlanta was a reasonably close second place.

One thing I loved about Houston and Atlanta was the fields! Each field had proper seating for everybody. If anybody remembers two years ago (or more) all fields except for Einstein were cramped, and unless you team was competing, you could only really have 1 or 2 people watching matches. Though the Stadiums might seem a bit big even for a program like FIRST, it makes me think that in 5 or 10 years, maybe the entire lower section will be filled, and in 10-20 years, maybe the whole stadium (imagine how many fields you would need).
I will agree though that because we were in a Disney World resort area, that I felt safer overall. I loved being able to walk to Marketplace as well!
