Actually, being a former employee (or cast member as it were) I can actually help out with this.
THe spray trucks go by nightly all over property, and many of the normal residental areas in central florida as well. Not sure on what kind of pesticide cocktail they use, but it does work somewhat. Not only that, but there are quite a few "natural" pest-prevention methods that have been implimented: bats, birds, and other insects that feed on mosquitoes and things of that nature.
There really isnt that much in the way of debris from the shells they use. Not to mention that every night the different lakes/lagoons/bodies of water are trouled(spelling is probally way off on that one) and cleaned. Landscaping and keeping things clean is one of the things that they still do take seriously.
Heh, this one is fairly simple: theres is a full water-treatment facility on property. Actually I believe there is everything on property that could ever be nessicary to run things as an independant operation, though I do not know if thats including long-term energy. Also, hotel laundry is not the only thing that Disney has to take care of. Disney takes care of all cleaning and repair of uniforms (ie: Costumes) for all of the cast members.
Well, hope that helped some, let me know if ya need anything else.

Quote:Laundry. Those thousands of hotel rooms generate one pile of daily laundry. What provision for the water cleaning to avoid algae bloom that follows all those phosphates in the laundry detergent is made? Where?
