Most laptops I've seen with a touch pad has a simple key combo to turn
it on or off. On mine it is the blueish "Fn" key and the F7 key. So,
Fn-F7 does the trick for me. This seems to be pretty standard, but
I have seen the combo missing on some older models, or on a different key.
The graphic sybol on my F7 key is a blue square with a small hand
touching it.

How does one disable the built in mouse pad so that I use only the
optical mouse and do not have to worry about accidentally touching the
mouse pad?
You can remove 'HAL' devices with the command:
hal-device -r <udi>
You can find the <udi> by just using 'hal-device' and parsing the output,
the <udi> will look something like:
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_2'
There may be a way of making a blacklist in HAL too...
