Disney is not an organization to expand young people's minds towards engineering and technical fields. Plus, it'd not be used for 392 days of the year. I'm not disagreeing that it'd be awesome to go back to Disney, just that Disney really isn't affiliated with FIRST that strongly.
No, disney is not an organization "to expand young people's minds," but they are a company trying to get money. I don't know how much money Disney has made in the past off of FIRST, but if they could reduce the $3 million setup charge, they would make even more. And trust me, they would use the facility for other things year round, they would not limit it to FIRST.

Now, this is all in the preliminary stage like I said, but even if it doesn't go through, it shows me that Disney is still interested in FIRST, and we might be back there in future years.
