What people make with Disney lettering
Disney-style lettering mostly ends up on birthday invitations, party banners and name signs for a child’s room. Satisfy has the looping, signed feel; Grand Hotel reads more like an old film title, which suits a Disney movie-night poster. For a Disney name sign, Dancing Script at weight 700 joins its letters, so a child’s name reads as one word.
The type behind Disney
Waltograph (Disney-style display script), named with Disney lettering, comes under personal-use terms, so it is not a pick here.

Trademark
Free fonts, yes; the Disney name and logo, no: a birthday invitation, a party banner or a name for a door for yourself is fine, merchandise needs the owner’s permission.
Disney is a trademark of its owner; these are free fonts in a similar lettering style, not the original lettering.
