I like the idea of throw away linens.However leaving your luggage outside is most likely not going to have any affect on these or any other bug. Its not that they survive well in the cold-its getting it cold enough, fast enough for a long enough time so they don't have a chance to get insulated from the cold.
Here is a great tip sheet I found on About.com on how to avoid and control the issue.
Best suggestion, separating clothes for each day and sealing them in a zip lock bag and then returning them to a zip lock bag when dirty so it will be easier to wash once you return home.
For us, items will remain outside until they are able to be washed. Current temp, a balmy -12 F.
Wondering how to avoid bedbugs when traveling and while staying in hotels?
Google your hotel’s name and “bedbugs” and “bed bugs”; if you haven’t chosen one yet, look them up on tripadvisor.com or hotelchatter.com. There, customers review hotels. If they had bad service, a small, outdated room, or (gasp!) bedbugs, you’ll hear about it. If you see one nasty report, of course, take it with a grain of salt. But multiple bad reviews, or reviews which repeat a particular critique, can be bad news. I have used tripadvisor many times and find the reviews useful not just to reassure me there are no bed bug reports at a hotel, but also to find good, moderately priced hotels, and a real insight into what rooms and service and location are like. Their highest ranked hotels are not always expensive and I have been very pleased when I have chosen them.
Some sufferers suggest purchasing a bottle of Kleenfree and using it in your hotel (spray mattress, etc.) I personally would not do this; Kleen free kills bed bugs you can see–if they’re sprayed directly. (If you can see bed bugs, you should not be in the room! Leave! Insist on a bed bug free room, and take precautions when you get home to make sure you did not bring bed bugs home.)
Learn specific steps for checking a hotel room for bed bugs. This CBC Marketplace report on bed bugs is long (15 minutes or so) but is a must-see for learning about bed bugs in general and learning how to search a hotel room for bed bugs. Keep your luggage on the luggage rack (not bed or floor); first check to see the luggage rack is free of pests (look at it from top to bottom, and under the straps). Check the mattress, headboard, frame and pictures (as much as possible), following these instructions.
You might want to use hard-sided luggage, if possible without zippers. Bedbugs love cloth and they are so thin zippers won’t keep them out. To be extra safe, seal your items in an XL ziploc bag inside the suitcase; in the hotel, keep the ziploc sealed. (If it isn’t air-tight, it is not bug-safe.) I like travel Space Bags, which zip and then roll to eliminate excess air. It means you can pack a lot more stuff in a smaller case, which makes the case heavy but easy to manipulate. Or you can leave some room in a larger case for bringing things home.
Ottawa PCO David Saunders suggests leaving luggage in your car and then doing laundry offsite before going home (source).
When you get home, visually inspect your suitcase and contents. Do not unpack your suitcase on the bed. Choose a light colored table or even the tub, so you can see what you’ve got. Do it quickly, in case there are any bed bugs inside. Remove all clothes into XL ziplocs and seal them until they can be washed and dried on hot or dry cleaned. You should do this when you come home from a trip whether you’ve encountered bed bugs or not. If you have encountered bed bugs, seal the suitcase up in a bag and throw it away.
If you haven’t seen signs of bugs, just unpack directly into a washing machine (wash and dry on hot hot hot). Deal with the case, too: you may not see young bed bugs. If you have some kind of bedbug approved pesticide, use it. Kleen-free (linked above) sprayed all over the suitcase is a good option. Or sealing it in a bag and
freezing it for a few weeks might be an option for some.
Most of all, don’t stay home. The world is a beautiful place. You can get bedbugs without leaving your home if someone else’s home is attached. So get out there and enjoy the world. But be careful out there.
For more helpful tips, click to download this PDF of this comprehensive article by entomologists Steven Kells and Jeff Hahn of the University of Minnesota, which describes the steps you should take if you’ve been exposed to bed bugs (but is also helpful on how to search for and avoid them in the first place).
We leave for WL next week. I just got off the phone with a cm and they said that the report was for All Star resort and "it was never a confirmed case" . 
Just had to call back because I forgot to confirm that we have bunk beds and the view. I asked this CM if he had heard anything. He laughed, just said "no" and then "is there anything else I can help you with"
