Anyone out there have a clue about how
big our pits are going to be at EPCOT?

After being somewhat cramped at EMU in the pits,
we’re re-thinking how our pit should be organized.

Thanks in advance,

I can only say that last year the pits at the Nationals were
slightly bigger, but who knows what they will be this year with
more teams! I will say I don’t think they can get any smaller, than
what we saw at the regionals!

My guess is that Disney will reach into its back pocket and erect a few more tents if they think it is too cramped.
I might be wrong, but Disney always does a real nice job.

I hope so, and who knows maybe they will reach into their pockets and erect
a few new stages, or at least three this year, I hope so anyway.

I think if I can remember from the last five years even when it was held at
the American Pavilion the Pits have been bigger, nothing huge but just a
little roomier, I don’t suggest you take a ton of more stuff, I think our
team has always brought just about the same amount of stuff to both the regional
and the national and it works out alright!

We have a clarification from Lori B. that the pits will be the
same size as last year, 10 ft. x 10 ft.
