It isn't the fact that Disney isn't working with us, I think disney has done an excellent job accomidating us. Its the fact that they don't have enough personell, also having all those extra busses flowing through their property during busy season, doesn't help either.
Some people are listing seperate places we can hold nationals, such as multi-parking, but, i don't think space is the problem becasue look at all the extra parking lots EPCOT has.
Our homework assignment was to increase the number of teams, and i think everyone is going to see that has happen, but with more teams comes a problem, if we let nationals keep going at the rate it is, Disney is going to say no more teams we can't handle it. Thats where i see the problem, and i think that's where Scott sees it also, pertaining to his orginal post. Also, Colleen the idea of two nationals would help greatly by reducing the numbers and it would give us time before we have to deal with this sort of an issue again. It would certianly give Disney a break.
I personally wouldn't like to see teams, shut out or have to qualify for nationals, because thats not what FIRST is about.
I also think nationals isn't going to be this big happy get together because already people are stressing over it. Two nationals would cut everything in half, *colleen*, and think how easy that would make things. If everyone takes time and thinks about a two national deal, with a national finals, being held somewhere, i think alot of people will see many pros to it.
