No. Walt Disney was never a member of the LDS Church.

Nope! He wasn't LDS.
One bit of trivia people don't know about Walt was that he was a chain smoker. They were VERY careful never to have a photo of him with a cigarette in his hand. They would air brush out the cigarette.
There is only one photo and it is displayed in the Private club at Disneyland called "Club 33."

No, that's not true. However, I do remember an issue of High Times in the 1970s which claimed that Walt Disney once dropped LSD.

No, you're confusing this with the little known revelation by the short-lived prophet Howard W Hunter: The Great General Plan Meeting In the Pre-Existence had presentations from Jesus, who promoted faith and free agency, Lucifer who opposed the free agency aspect, and Walter, who promoted the E-Ticket fantasy.
I read that somewhere too, and I know in my heart that it is true.

No, I believe Disney was a Congregationalist, which is Protestant Christianity.
"...I am personally thankful that my parents taught me at a very early age to have a strong personal belief and reliance in the power of prayer for Divine inspiration. My people were members of the Congregational Church in our home town of Marceline, Missouri. It was there where I was first taught the efficacy of religion... how it helps us immeasurably to meet the trial and stress of life and keeps us attuned to the Divine inspiration... Deeds rather than words express my concept of the part religion should play in everyday life. I have watched constantly that in our movie work the highest moral and spiritual standards are upheld, whether it deals with fable or with stories of living action. This religious concern for the form and content of our films goes back 40 years to the rugged financial period in Kansas City when I was struggling to establish a film company and produce animated fairy tales. Many times during those difficult years, even as we turned out Alice in Cartoonland and later in Hollywood the first Mickey Mouse, we were under pressure to sell out or debase the subject matter or go "commercial" in one way or another. But we stuck it out... Both my study of Scripture and my career in entertaining children have taught me to cherish them... Thus, whatever success I have had in bringing clean, informative entertainment to people of all ages, I attribute in great part to my Congregational upbringing and my lifelong habit of prayer..."

I've heard all kinds of things, but someone recently told me he was Catholic.

no, he wasn't. Just an LDS urban legend.
