I will be discussing the geographical places where these movies were set and the relation of that to the movies. I will also be discussing the various Disney themed attractions across the world. Since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the first animated movie by Disney, I will begin with it. Snow White was originally a story written by The Brothers Grimm. The Brothers Grimm were a pair of German brothers who wrote fairytales. Snow White is most likely set in Germany because that is where the brothers are from.
In 1986 an idea was published by Karlheinz Bartels which suggested that the fairytale 'Snow White' was based off of the real life of a German girl named Maria Sophia Margaretha Catherina von Erthal. She lived in a castle in Lohr. Her father re-married to a lady who became her stepmother. The stepmother was cruel to the girl and when her father died, the girl was abandoned with her cruel stepmother. The father had given the stepmother a gift before he died. the gift was a mirror which became known as "The Talking Mirror". All of these similarities led Bartels to his connection between Maria Sophia and Snow White.
