i can't help what they do and don't get from my money. if they only get 30 from everybody's original 75 we still have to pay the 75. if i charged $50 for a crappy shirt i couldn't justify it by saying, well, i only get 25 from it, the rest goes to fund the free coffee in the executive board room.

I'm not a big person, so I'm going to chime in on this. You paid the $75 dollars because you and your team chose not to purchase a Disney Resort package for the Championships. That money went towards the site production / logistics, bus transport, and the wrap party. Everyone else that booked with Disney didn't have to pay the $75 beacause it was included with our package. So either way, everyone ended up paying for the buses, the site, and the party.
As for the food, if you would have purchased a Disney package you would have gotten lunch and breakfast coupons which easily would have saved you money and then you proabably wouldnt be complaining about the prices, I know they were high, but its Disney. My friends and I easily got $10-$15 worth of food from every coupon, which is why FIRST encouraged buying the Disney packages.
As for all the other ".. meaningless crap that Walt thinks i can't live without." that you got with the Disney packages, I think it was a good deal, food, a park hopper, hotel, and Disney transport.
So all in all, everyone eventually paid the $75, some seperate and some within their packages.
We can't help that you didn't enjoy the party / entertainment, you can't please everyone, but you sure can try and I think FIRST tried pretty hard.
