We don't seem very thankful to Disney?

All the arguments here seem perfectly legit. But it certainly seems like no one really appreciates what Disney does. They are for sure the largest sponsor of FIRST, have been there since the beginning and spend a fortune on FIRST. We all take this and the support of other sponsors far too much for granted. Working for a large corporation and having had a lot of involvement in corporate educational and community spending I know how large a committment Disney makes. It would be far easier for them to take the FIRST money and spread it out among 100's of very good, and needing programs.
We should all appreciate this.

And quite frankly putting the nationals right under the EPCOT ball seem more fitting and exciting than some boring gym or convention hall!
