Roy Disney has been in the news quite a bit recently, with his public dispute with the current Disney management. He also appears in a GQ thread which I am too lazy to link to. Am I the only person who immediately conjures up the image of Roy Walley from “National Lampoon’s Vacation” whenever Roy Disney is mentioned? I almost don’t want to know what Roy Disney really looks like, because I liked the Roy Walley character a lot. BTW, the actor who played Roy Walley was named Eddie Bracken, and he died in 2002 at the age of 87. [This page](http://www.einsiders.com/features/columns/novemberobituaries.php) has the only picture of him I could find (you have to scroll about halfway down the page.) ---

Being a fan of industrial/corporate histories I know what the man looks like. He looks _just_ like his pictures in Stewart’s [DisneyWar](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0684809931?v=glance). 😉 ---

He looks a good deal like his uncle, only goofier (Goofier?). ---

Roy Disney looks like Roy Walley who looks like Walt Disney. ---

I don’t know if I’ve seen a picture, but obviously he must look like Roy from the Mickey Mouse Club. 😉
