No. Some people say he served in the military prison in Portsmouth Harbor (also known as "The Castle") but it's just a urban legend. Perhaps it was the regal name of "The Castle" or a fanciful notion, but somewhere along the way, the prison became associated with Walt Disney. The legend says that he spent some time at the prison, before being dishonourably discharged from the navy. The prison itself, with it's castle like appearance is supposed to have inspired his castle at Disneyland. Disney did have a career in the military as an ambulance driver during the First World War. That much is true. The rest is a legend, disproved by the Disney Company and the Shipyard as much as possible. Disney's castle at Disneyland seems to be drawn from a castle in Bavaria.
