In the past, the documentary filmmaker has slammed her family’s company for poor treatment of its amusement park workers and even labeled her great-uncle Walt Disney a misogynist, a racist and an anti-Semite. She has publicly railed against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill - which was signed into law March 28 and prohibits teachers from discussing sexual orientation with students between kindergarten and third grade. She is one of the granddaughters of the company’s co-founder Roy O. The most outspoken is Abigail Disney, 62. “The family is not unified whatsoever,” said Korkis. “They have always been extremely private.”īut recently, some of the more progressive members of the clan - which is not close-knit - are rocking the boat. “In general, the whole family is very conservative and they keep to themselves,” author and Disney family historian Jim Korkis told The Post. Ron DeSantis began his attacks against the Walt Disney Company last month - over its opposition to his so-called “Don’t Say Gay” legislation - the Disney family did what it has done for decades: Mostly stayed silent.
