If you want specifics, it's "Disneyland" not "Disney Land," for one. As someone else mentioned, although they didn't seem sure of themselves - in planning, the Florida resort was to be named "Disney World" as per Walt. The Florida project was his grandest dream, but he passed before it's completion and never saw it. In honor of the man who is to thank for it all, his brother Roy did infact rename and rededicate the resort "Walt Disney World" in honor of his late brother. It's not just "something they tell you in training," it's historical fact.
And to clarify, the Magic Kingdom park is NOT called "Disney World" or "Walt Disney World." Walt Disney World is the resort, Magic Kingdom is the park with the castle. They are NOT the same thing. Gah it drives me crazy when you ask a tourist, "What'd you do today?" ... "Oh, today we went to Epcot. And tomorrow we're going to Disney!"
