Once again, you're a lil confused. ABC is OWNED by Disney. the creators actually have occasional meetings with Disney reps to make sure they're not doing anything Disney disapproves of (example, the Dwarves thing)

Gaston: Disney's version of Beauty and the Beast is heavily influenced by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_and_the_Beast_(1946_film). DISNEY names the suitor Gaston, so the show would have needed permission to use this name. This also applies to "The Blue Fairy" (Fairy with Turquoise Hair in the book) and Jiminy Cricket (didn't have a name in the book).

Your argument that the show is only using non-Disneyfied things is not correct.
