I think putting the squezze on Disney is a good way to go. One year without nationals would cure them of anything. They may lose some money from teams staying off site but that's not as big as loseing nationals all together. My team last year didn't stay on site because of funding and lack of space. We still rode the Disney shuttles and went to the different parks. If I'm not mistaken, it was said by Disney that they would expand to meet our needs. It's time to put their money where their mouth is, it's time to build.
Having the different fields at different parks is the same as limiting nationals in the respect that interaction between teams would be limited to those on your field. For the champions of each field, it would be harder to know what you're coming up against. It would also eliminate each teams one chance to play on Einstein.This would be the same reason I would give to keep nationals from being at two different Disney parks.
All in all I think Disney is trying to test how much say they have in FIRST. If FIRST buckles now it would be disasterous in the future. I'm not pushing for FIRST to leave Disney, but if they can't accomodate us why should we waste our time with them? I'm sure other places can be found to hold nationals. I bet a NASA facility or somewhere in Texas may be good places to start.
