That was my opinion too all the time. Disney is probably relaying to FIRST that they cannot host this event without either serious cutbacks, or asking an insane amount ($200+) for everyone. I'm sure that Disney is not pleased with this situation either, because they have had a long standing relationship with FIRST.

I'm sure that FIRST has a plan B, an alternative location just in-case they cannot reach a settlement with Disney. Personally I think FIRST should look for a place where the economy is really in dire need for tourism. For example, (THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE) the Macworld conference was moved from New York to Boston because New York just becoming too expensive. Boston welcomed the conference with open arms, and offered special discounts with low hotel fairs, access to their best and newest facilities, and other perks. Especially with the economy in this uncertain stage, I believe that this is best possibility for nationals.

Florida is cool, and it is good motivating factor to get new students, but if Disney can’t do it, I am not going to cry over it.
