Answer 1

it is walt disney

Answer 2

That's Roy Disney (Walt's brother)! He was key to resuming the plans for Disney World after Walt's death. He died just a few months after Disney World was opened.

Walt's statue with Mickey is closer to the castle.

Answer 3

Actually, the statue in Town Square that you are referring to is one of Minnie Mouse and Roy O. Disney, Walt's brother that took over after his death.  The statue directly in front of the castle in the Magic Kingdom with Mickey Mouse is Walt Disney.  (oh, and just a little fun fact:  both statues are life size representations of Walt, Roy, Mickey and Minnie!)
