I'm not sure Disney is even close. At Disney, the majority of the active land area is paved (or impervious). This makes it much easier to direct drainage to where you want it to go. Then you just collect it, clean it & disperse it.
In TV. there are vast areas of open/natural land. It's much harder to control where the water goes, when you have to rely on natural (or created) slopes and impoundment areas, to say nothing of protecting 80,000 homes from flooding.
One interesting quirk with the TV drainage design, is a prohibition against moving water between counties. Every drop of water has to remain in the county it originated from, it can't be moved across a county line. That makes for some real challenges on properties near county borders.
The sophistication of the TV drainage design and operation, is mind boggling.
