Believe it or not FIRST folks are not particularly good Disney customers.

From OUR point of view we pay for passes that we don't use, but from Disney's point of view, we are spend thrifts that don't share the wealth that other typical Disney customers spread around so freely.

Yes, Disney is making money on us. But in total, it is not as much as you might think. Remember, if we were not taking up space, they would likely have their hotels full of folks that spend about $400 per day per family in their parks -- I spend NOTHING in the parks.

In the end, I think that Disney is a huge net supporter of FIRST. The money they make off of us offsets some of their costs, but I don't suppose it comes anywhere close to them breaking even.

In the long run, I am sure that Disney will not be the home of the Championship Event. But for now, we get more than we give. Even with a surcharge on off-site stays.
