Major tourist attractions in a city are always good, but there can be
a few drawbacks. Namely, popular attractions such as Disney attract
LOTS of people, eat up hotel space, as well as detract from the
overall experience of an APhiO convention because more brothers will
want to take their picture with Mickey rather than spend time getting
to know brothers from around the nation. My best experiences with
conventions are those in which I stay in the hotel and just socialize
with brothers, instead of touring...
Anyway, here's another great web site to check out, the web site of
DC2000!
