Nate, I think you're right on the button, I'm sure FIRST is working at securing a site for the Nationals but where it will be is up in the air. If its stays at Epcot there is the Easter/Spring Break issues (its one of the busiest times for Disney already) either you go before or after.
May is getting late for the schools, finals, proms and the such, school here (AZ) get out around the 22nd.
In April that leaves one week open, the one after the last regional.
If its not at Disney that week, my guess is there will be a new location. But I'm sure we will all know by the end of October - you know October Surpises, this is a election year right? With registrations for the second regional starting Nov. 3 it makes sense for FIRST to announce it before then.
This is a huge event - sometimes I think we forget, myself included, there aren't many places that could provide for the 10,000 plus that attend. Plus all the logistics needed to support such an event. Venues like that are booked sometimes years in advance so you just can't call up and say "Suprise" here we come.
