The entire venue was built on Epcot's 'Discover' parking lot, I think. It may actually be the 'Journey' lot, however, as I can't remember the order they're laid out in. In any case, no asphalt was visible throught the whole venue. It was all covered by false grass or plastic flooring. The pits were housed in an air-conditioned tent. It was, in most cases, quite cold in the pits.

Of all things, I am least concerned about safety with respect to the event at Walt Disney World.

Walt Disney World is undoubtedly more expensive than any other venue FIRST could probably find, save perhaps for New York City, Las Vegas or Los Angeles. As I've stated time and again, though, it is worth the cost. FIRST is not an organization that should be settling for or in search of the cheapest options, but demanding the best facilities the world has to offer.
