Walter + Elias + Disney
This is a referential proper name composed of given names plus the well-known surname 'Disney'; there is no idiomatic or metaphorical meaning to derive beyond identifying the person. If a learner knows the constituent surname 'Disney' (creator of Mickey Mouse/Disneyland), they will immediately recognize the full name as that same individual, so the expression is compositionally transparent rather than opaque.
Etymology
Walter Elias Disney is the full name of the man who created Mickey Mouse and opened Disneyland, so his name now stands for the famous company and the idea of 'family entertainment'.
