As a student, I can't say that I am ecstatic that we are moving to Disney, nor can I say that it is not justified.

I agree with Paul that FIRST very well could be using this year to show Disney that they mean business. In the past years, costs have increased, and it has become more and more difficult for teams to attend. Also, I think that this thing may have just gotten too big for Disney to handle. I know that might seem unthinkable, that the entertainment behemoth might not be able to handle little ol' FIRST anymore, but it's true. Or at least, they may not be able to handle us in the manner that they want to handle us -- FIRST wants more and Disney is unable/unwilling to provide it.

As for all the naysayers, give it a shot. I have been involved 4 four years, and it seems to me that anytime there is a major announcement, everyone always speaks up and complains, then it turns out alright. Let's just wait and see, because at this point we have no control for this year. As Brandon said in another thread, let's experience this and then voice our complaints/concerns.

just my $0.02
