I think the name recognition - 'yeah, we compete at Disney World!' - is the biggest thing going for having the nationals at Disney. It gets the attention of people who otherwise might not care, and some of them are the main target for the I in FIRST.
I have to admit (being a Disney-basher in the past) that the changes they made for the three indoor stages were good - I liked that setup. Now if they continue to improve....
The other plus for having the events at Disney: when we DO get thousands of teams, they can have events at the Disney venue for several weeks in a row - heck, call 'em regionals or qualifiers, so long as we let everyone go to Disney for a competition.
