While attending “The Landscape Show 2008” last week in Orlando, I noticed that there were landscapers and lawn care employees constantly taking care of the Orange County Convention Center. The property looked great, but obviously it took a constant effort to maintain the property at the level they desired. It made me wonder how Disney World maintained such breathtaking green spaces without the presence of employees constantly working around you.

I did some research and discovered that over 600 employees come out every night to keep Disney World looking magical. There are over 4,200 acres of Disney Worlds 25,000 acres that need to be maintained. 2000 acres of grass are mowed three times a week, adding up to 450,000 mowing miles a year! Are there any landscapers or lawn maintenance companies out there ready to take on Disney World as a client?

Here are a couple of links with more astonishing facts about Disney World’s landscape:
