Answer from a person with a legal background
The word Disney is a very old word, and the Walt Disney company was formed over 50 years ago in 1923. Other than the use of Mickey Mouse, there is no record of a legal dispute over person(s) using the word Disney. As long as you use the word "Disney" non-commercially, or for the use of news reporting, promotion, or description (similarly as using "Windows" to describe a type of operating system) - it will be fine.
However, if you chose to use it like "Disney Download" - you might come upon some legal disputes especially if your company is operating in the same "Disney" market because it could be misunderstood.
