Yes, The Walt Disney Company currently owns and operates the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California, but this was not always the case. When Disneyland Park opened in 1955, Walt Disney did not have the capital to build a high-capacity hotel himself. Instead, he entered into an agreement with his friend and business partner, Jack Wrather, who built and owned the hotel under the Disney name. For decades, the hotel remained a separate entity from the Walt Disney Company, despite being the "official" hotel of the park. It wasn't until 1988 that Disney finally acquired the Wrather Corporation—primarily to gain full ownership of the Disneyland Hotel. Today, it is managed as one of the three on-property Disney-owned resorts at the Disneyland Resort, alongside Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Pixar Place Hotel. The acquisition allowed Disney to fully integrate the hotel into its "Magical Express" services and overall resort branding, ensuring a seamless experience for guests that matches the standards found at their other global properties.
