---This is a post that I made back in September...i'd say it still applies---
One thing you have to consider about having disney be only our accomodations for the National competition is the exposure that the Competition itself gets by being in Epcot's parking lot...during the little bit of time that I wasn't at the arenas this past year, as I was wandering around WDW in full team gear(t-shirt loaded with pins, hat, etc), I had quite a few people ask me what all the pins represented, which allowed me to get into a discussion with them about the Competition itself...a few of them even said that they would stop by and take a look for themselves...
So, while Disney may be great as a recreational escape during down time, having everything on-site also helps to promote the competition in general...just imagine how many people saw the event taking place, especially from the monorail. How would we get even close to that much publicity as a Competition having the event at a 'less-travelled' site?
