I have been wondering this and after watching a History Chanel DVD about WDW, my wife and I were wondering why there has been no AA built of Walt. Is there a curse if they try? Or is it more they have to have the family's permission?

Why has there been no Walt AA

Because they never built an attraction that would require one?

Walt didn't even want something like Partners. It would be self reference of the worst sort, parroting out empty, meaningless phrases that are mocked by the pretenders.
Anyone who knows anything about Walt knows that one of his basic principles was not to waste resources. If there was no attraction that required a Walt AA, why build one.

Also, while he was a very (rightfully) proud man, he was also very humble.

Actually...I've always thought there could be some kind of attraction that would open up like an episode of Disneyland and there would be a short introduction done by a Walt AA. Don't ask me what the attraction would actually be about...I suppose it being about WALT would make sense...or EPCOT...or something...but, hey...I think for now that ship has sailed...
I guess in a small way it'd be kinda like having your deceased Grandma taxidermied and put on display with a voice box and a pull string... Probably best to leave Walt around in spirit and not so much in foam rubber, steel rods, and hydraulic fluid...though, I know it'd be cool in some ways...sad to say...and I'd check it out at least once...
Sweet thought...some bad vibes potentially... besides, his grandkids squabble over the money as it is...we don't need them arguing whether the mold of his face is just right...or Seth McFarlane making any MORE cracks via Family Guy...

Because morons would try to ruin it for other people by taking flash pictures of it when everyone was specifically told not to.

To call those wax figures creepy would be an insult to creepy things...I think he's that guy....You know...That made that thing?

It would be an interesting addition to One man's Dream someday.
That's what I said including the lowercase m on man's:

This one is surprisingly not too bad for a likeness. Although the tan is over done and his shoulders look awkward. Still creepy as all getout!
I agree with others that Walt's humble demeanor would probably preclude an attraction with a Walt AA in it. Although...if it would pump up the stocks they would probably have one installed at the front of every park like Marty Moose.

There is going to be a wax figure of Walt Disney in the new Madame Tussauds museum here in Orlando. Let's hope it actually looks like him, as the previous photos are really disheartening.
