Disney Extortion!

[Mike Norton]

I am lucky we are not going to the nationals ( odd team) there is no way disney should be treating FIRST as 3rd class people

I have been going to the national for the past 6 years and we made out better everytime we went not using the package deal. but a deal that disney offers every non FIRST group.

to give you example we are going to disney after the KSC regional we got a 4 day park hopper for $138 and a room for $94 a night that is $232.00 per person with 4 per room Disney cost is $389. We saved $157

you take this price an times it by the students we are taken 16 kids that is saving $2562.00 just on the kids alone

for a single room for 4 nights with a 4 day park hopper it cost us $514 disney charging $688. this is a saving of $174

So just looking at the numbers, Disney is taking FIRST teams for a ride. But you have to know FIRST gets so many rooms for free.

this is just the start I can go on forever with all the stuff disney does not do for you as a FIRST team compare if you went down and booked your team as something else.
