RE: Venue Change
First off, anyone who thinks that you're getting weekend dates at an arena that houses an NHL or NBA team is kidding themselves. So that throws out Amway Center in Orlando, Honda Center in Anaheim, or any number of arenas throughout the country.
So I think you're looking at cities with either a large convention center (Atlanta), a city that has a major arena but no NHL/NBA team (Baltimore, Kansas City), or Vegas. All of them have distinct plusses and minuses.
But I agree with the general premise that from all accounts, the event has outgrown the facilities at Disney and would grow exponentially in another city with an arena big enough to handle the crowds.
