Re: Championships location from 07 and onwards
Disney was a cool place - yeah the food was outrageously high priced but here is the positives points.
What other location do you know that is operating 24 hrs to serve you food wise (Disney had one button on their phone direct to the pizzeria which was open 24 hrs and was reasonably priced grant it thats not something you wanna eat for all 5 or more days down there but if its open and it tasted decent enough)
What other locations do you know that has a pool and arcade within the resort as well as a dining section.
(WDW Resorts had those items within their back yard so you didn't have to stray to far from the hotel room - and if you were really in for a excitement fix you coulda went to any of their nearby parks)
Now heres Atlanta in Comparison with Disney - Yeah Atlanta seemed to be an improvement but heres what I disliked about atlanta, No Deli's within a couple of blocks radius to the dome or a hotel =(, The price for Hotel food was WAY to high [e.g. $21 plus 16% gratuity fee and delivery fees for a dish of spagetti and that was for just one person in the westin, or nearly $3 for a can of soda in the hotel or $5.60 for a bootle of water in the hotel] There was NOT much to do in atlanta except go to turner field (really exciting - insert sarcasm here) or the movies which I didn't seem to find =(, The only thing decent in atlanta was the wrap party Other then that I would choose disney over atlanta and thats attending both once a pice (2002 and 2005)
