Disney did list us in the flyer about 'what's going on this week'.....we had our own section.......but it wasn't listed on the internet calendar..........I was very impressed with the set up at Disney and since it was my first trip to disney, I didn't hesitate to go into the parks from the moment we weren't picked until awards BUT on Friday when our team had a match every hour, we had no trouble staying in the pits or watching rounds( I asked my kids if they wanted to go into Disney and I received a 'no way' from all).
I guess I prefer the regionals because I like seeing all the matches and studying the robots AND I liked the pits better at nationals...it was the very impossibility of watching all matches that depersonalized the event and enabled us to go into disney.

: : ---This is a post that I made back in September...i'd say it still applies---

: : ...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?

: But... how many people actually were curious enough to stop and figure out exactly what was going on down there in the parking lot? I know that if I was down there with my family, shuttling my kids from Epcot to Magic Kingdom with only a few days to see everything in the state of Florida, it would be hard for curiosity to get the better of me and go down there and investigate the brightly coloured flags. I do think Disney could do a better job of promoting. All those flyers that hotels put out with 'What's going on at Disney this week' could include FIRST.
