The fact that the land is owned by Walt Disney Parks does not preclude
the fact that they have granted a right of way through it.
According to Orange County property records, the 65.13 acres of land
is owned by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts US Inc. However, 11 acres
of it is under the land use "right of way" (the rest is wasteland or
submerged).

I don't know how this figure was calculated. But I've looked at records from
Disney's beginning to the present day and no easement was ever granted to
the public for this road.
How exhaustive of a search have you done?
A complete search for all easements assigned by Disney and predecessors.

In part.
When was the road first built? Who built it?
It predates Disney as a dirt road:

When did Disney purchase the land?
1965 (through what was then a secret subsidiary):

Absent any evidence of a public right-of-way, and given the fact that
there was a guard booth at the location of this sign until about 2005, I
conclude that it is a private road.
