To be honest, it was a bit of a sticking point, asking companies to sponsor teams, when a big part of the budget was sending 20 to 60 students and adults to Disney World for 5 days

when you pitched FIRST to a potential new sponsor, that part of it was a bit awkward.

The way the championship is now is, well... pure FIRST and nothing else

but to be honest, I miss those days - it was magic.

Although I've never seen a FIRST championship (and understand its growing pains), I think WDW can accomodate the championship in one way or another (as being a one-time honorary Disney castmember as a member of my school's marching band and orchestra). We could always advocate that Disney build a new stadium exclusively for FIRST there, perhaps in Downtown Disney (which recently opened) or Coronado Springs.

If we can't go to WDW, it's cool, but if we can, it will be an excellent plus.
