Burger

There are more than 300 dining outlets at the resort, with 350 chefs on staff to help keep guests well-fed. Every year, the resort serves up 10 million hamburgers, 1.6 million turkey drumsticks, 6 million hotdogs, 9 million pounds of french french fries and 300,000pounds of popcorn.

9. 75 million...bottles of cola

 

All that food has to be washed down with something. Every year, Walt Disney World guests consume 75 million Coca-Colas and 13 millionbottles of water.

There are almost 25,000 rooms spread across the resort's hotels, campsites, cabins and Disney Vacation Club properties. It would take you more than 68 yearsto stay in every single one of these at a rate of one per night.

7. 194,871...miles of toilet tissue

Toilet tissue We're not sure exactly how many bathrooms there are at Walt Disney World. Certainly, there are dozens of toilet cubicles at each of its theme parks. Then there are the en-suite bathrooms of the 25,000+ rooms at its various on-site hotels. Whatever the precise count, there are a lot of them. As a result, in 2004 Walt Disney World reportedly used some 194,871 milesof toilet tissue.

6. 3.8 million...pens used every year

Pen All those Cast Members have got to make notes occasionally. They can jot them down with some of the 3.8 millionballpoint pens that the resort buys every year.

5. 1.8 million...pounds of flour used every year

Flour All those on-site bakeries have got to used something to make their bread and pastries. Walt Disney World uses an insane 1.8 million pounds of flour annually, along with around 3 million poundsof eggs.

4. 300,000...yards of decorative ribbon

Ribbon The Christmas decorations at Walt Disney World are extensive, covering dozens of hotels, the four theme parks, Downtown Disney and many other areas. 300,000 yardsof ribbon are required for this task.

3. 150 million...sheets of paper

Paper

Almost 150 millionsheets of paper are used by Walt Disney World annually. But the resort does use recycled paper.

2. 700,000...gallons of bleach

Bleach

Cleaning Walt Disney World's theme parks, hotels and other attractions is an immense task undertaken by a vast army of staff. The resort consumes more than 700,000gallons of bleach in a typical year.

1. 200,000...bandages

Bandage All those clumsy children wandering around Walt Disney World's theme parks are bound to trip and stumble occasionally (as are the drunken adults stumbling around Epcot's World Showcase). No wonder, then, that the resort dishes out more than 200,000 bandages every year.

I think #19 is wrong. There are about 66,000 cast members working there now.

I have always wondered how much, each day Disney World, as a whole, takes in and pays out. For example of taking in would be, admission fees, memorabilia and food. Compared to paying out examples of, salaries, garbage, clean and dirty water, electricity, hotel maids, bus drivers, maintenance, lawn care and so on. It has to be astronomical!
