Well a couple things-

Despite what everyone thinks- Disney doesn't need us, the exact hassle, or the exact groups of kids annoying other patrons to stay afloat or anything. We come during a very busy season for them and I'm sure if we picked a less popular season to hold our competition, nothing would be as big of a deal.

But we do it in April. And doing it in April, this is what we have.

Basically, at this point there are a couple options.. all of which involve ditching the 'everybody get together' at Nationals concept. Because I just don't see the multi-park as happen because it would be such a huge nuisance to get those teams moved and resettled just for the final matches. It seems rather ridiculous.. and I think we're better to play those last matches elsewhere.

As for planning in two weeks: well, I gotta go with Andy B there and say that planning travel for WashingtonDC or something wouldn't be very hard. And FIRST could even reserve Xrooms for each team that would be attending and the teams could just pay FIRST for them. Then the online thing to worry about is airfare.. and well, travelling to Orlando is totally different than going to most places.. it's a hopping destination no matter when...

And I totally agree.. 2 week planning and reservation for Disney would be nearly impossible.. and that is why regionals can't be qualifiers for Nationals.. cause that logistic just wouldn't work... and teams at earlier regionals would have a major advantage.

I think no matter what happens.. nationals won't work as this big, happy, 'let's get together' social event.... but it can still be big, happy, beneficial, and fun for all those who have the opportunity to participate.

And everyone should have that opportunity.
