That is actually not true. People associate cryonic preservation as an indulgence of the wealthy. From that came the myth of Walt Disney being frozen.
Actually, he was a smoker and died of lung cancer and cardiac arrest.
His family had him cremated.

Walt Disney was not frozen. It was an urban legend that his body was frozen to be brought back to life if a cure for his illness was ever found. He had lung cancer, his body was already deteriorating, and he'd suffered cardiac arrest. There'd just be no way to bring him back, even if they found a cure for lung cancer as the myth goes. Another thing that people don't think about is how much damage is caused to a body when it's frozen. When ice crystals form, it's basically like shards of glass, and it causes irreperable damage. There certainly wouldn't be a way to bring someone back to life after that. Anyway, his body was cremated and his ashes were buried at the Forest Lawn Cemetary in Glendale, California.
Hope I could help!

JOHN A GOT IT RIGHT!
Death of Walt Disney
Disney's involvement in Disney World ended in late 1966; after many years of chain-smoking cigarettes, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. He was checked into the St. Joseph's Hospital across the street from the Disney Studio lot and his health began to deteriorate, causing him to suffer cardiac arrest.
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. Roy O. Disney continued to carry out the Florida project, insisting that the name be changed to Walt Disney World in honor of his brother.

It's just an urban legend: that Walt Disney was frozen after he died and is being stored in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" exhibit at Disney World (or other places). Look at this link from Snopes for more info: http://www.snopes.com/disney/waltdisn/frozen.htm

Some people like to say he was frozen and is in a vault under sleeping beauty's castle in Anaheim.

Cannibals ate him. Then they cremated the bones and froze them to put in an exhibit. It's true.

they just froze his brain so one day they can thaw it out & put it into somebody so they can be just as creative & blahblahblah as he was.
in my opinion it's kinda creepy!!
