Yeah, the fact that Walt Disney HIMSELF is a character suggests otherwise, especially since he authored everything between That Still Small Voice until The Stable Boy. (Snow is 28 when the Curse is cast in 1983 due to everyone saying Snow is Emma's age, and the show itself confirmed she was 10 when Daniel was killed. That means Daniel was killed in 1965, when Disney was still the Author. Gepetto is around the same age as Granny, who is confirmed by the show itself to be in her 60's, which means he was born in the 20's, coincidentally, when Walt Disney first started cartooning.) Um, Walt being an Author, doesn't mean that Once is Disney. Once =/= Disney (Live!). Plus it's a nod to him. If he was the one and only Author, maybe, but he isn't. Plus, Isaac wrote most of the Storybook that is Snow White and onwards that we know of today (Cinderalla, Sleeping Beauty, etc).

Nods to Disney is obvious, but Once =/= Disney is to say that Once isn't live action Disney (aka Elsa and Anna from Frozen) but they are a different interpretation of these characters from popular iterations with a Once twist.
