No, Walt Disney was not cryogenically frozen.
"He died on December 15, 1966 at 9:30am, ten days after his 65th birthday. He was cremated December 17, 1966 and his ashes reside at the Forest Lawn Laboratory in Glendale, California."
It's an awful, unrealistic urban legend. First of all, Walt Disney was cremated. He had lung cancer and suffered cardiac arrest. Second, in the 1960s most people, including Walt Disney, had no clue what cryogenic freezing was or hat it even existed. Third, the urban legend is that his body was cryogenically frozen so that when a cure for his illness was found he could be brought back to life and he'd be rid of lung cancer. But the fact is, a frozen body can't be revived. The ice crystals that form within the bloodsteam and body cause irreparable damage and pretty much destroy everything.
Here's a link to information about Walt Disney's death and a picture of the site where his ashes are buried...

No. Just another Urban Legend.
