Sure.
Walt is not cryogenically frozen and held in the Matterhorn.
The brass spot under Sleeping Beauty's castle is not the center of Disneyland, but rather a marker used to ensure the castle and Main Street were aligned.
Yes, people have died on Disney property. They are not transported offsite to die outside of Disney.
Nobody lives in the Castle. An apartment was planned in the Florida Castle but it was never finished (until this year as part of the new Million Dreams promotion).
I'm certain you can find more at Disney fansites.

From Snopes.com (a really good urban legend web site):
Claim: Super Bowl Sunday is a good time to visit Disneyland, because the park is virtually deserted.
Status: False.
Origins: No red-blooded American would miss the Super Bowl just to spend the day at an amusement park, right? Okay, maybe a few women who don't understand football might pass on watching the game, but women don't generally visit places like Disneyland without their husbands or boyfriends or children in tow, and most of them are watching the game. Must be a great day for the people who are so desperate to experience a rare uncrowded weekend afternoon at Disneyland that they'll risk ridicule and skip the big game in favor of the Magic Kingdom, eh?
Not quite. January does tend to be one of the slower periods of the year at amusement parks, a winter lull between the Christmas and Easter holidays, but crowds at Disneyland on Super Bowl Sunday are comparable to any other Sunday in January. (My personal experience is that Super Bowl Sunday did used to be a good day to visit Disneyland, but people have caught on to this trick in the last fifteen years or so.) If you want to spend a leisurely Sunday at Disneyland, you're better off picking a different weekend in January or February.

The Legend: Walt Disney had an enormous collection of pornography.
Behind the Legend: On the contrary, Walt Disney's pornography collection was relatively miniscule and consisted entirely of: 1) a box of Playboy magazines he'd found under his father's bed and kept only for sentimental reasons, and 2) an off-color picture of the Alice in Wonderland animated cast that was, in Disney's words, "just too damned disturbing to throw away."
The Legend: Walt Disney was dishonorably discharged from the military.
Behind the Legend: On the contrary, Walt Disney's military service in World War I was quite distinguished. During one horrible battle, his lungs filled with mustard gas, Disney threw himself on a grenade that would have wiped out his buddies. The resulting explosion threw him more than 100 yards through the air to land on a German machine-gun nest, destroying it. Even as he bled profusely from a belly wound, Disney soundly whipped two enemy soldiers and commandeered the machine gun, laying down a screen of cover fire so that his platoon could take the hill. For this the government awarded him two days leave and the promise of a miniscule pension.

There is a secret basketball court inside the top of the Matterhorn.
There is a labyrinth of underground passageways for cast members to travel from one side of the park to the other.

I just heard that between 9 and 12 people get killed there every year in ride related accidents.
