Disney insertion falls into two categories: 1. Using elements from the Disney movie, such as the name of a character, an element of the plot, or the style of a costume. 2. The entirity of a Disney movie being canon. Now that I've established that, I can break down how I feel about them. Category 1 is what is the majority of what we see and has been on the show since Season 1. Elements from the Disney movie are taken, in combination with the traditional story, and are twisted into their own thing with Once's twists. This is an excellent use of inserting Disney, and still let's Once be its own thing. Category 2 is newer, having first been done in 4A (well technically the last minute of 3B with the tease), and is where the entirity of a Disney movie is made canon to Once. So far this has only been done with two of Disney's newer movies (Frozen and Brave). As others have pointed out, these are basically live action sequels to the Disney films, set inside Once's universe. While it is interesting to see, at the end of the day, I do think it takes away from the show as a whole. That being said, I think Brave was handled much better than Frozen, because Brave was incorporated into an arc, and should show up in the next arc, Frozen was the whole arc, and will probably never be seen again. So in conclusion, I'm fine with Disney insertion, but feel it should be much more of category 1 than category 2, and that when category 2 is done, it should not take over the whole arc.
