Disney, Oklahoma

Disney is a town in Mayes County, Oklahoma, United States.

To continue out of Disney, two more small dams with spillway gates must be crossed.

Disney has a herd of "island deer" that, while wild and not kept in an enclosure, act more like dogs, strolling across main street (HwY 28) and nibbling on lawns, shrubs, and flowers.

About 10 WPA era rock cabins, remodeled as motel rooms, are available.

In the October 1938 issue of Scribner's magazine, famed artist Thomas Hart Benton wrote and illustrated[6] an article about Disney, titled "Thirty-Six Hours in a Boom Town".

Disney's growth is limited by the size of the island and the technical difficulties with bringing municipal services across the dams, so Disney has its own water plant, no public sewer system (all septic), and no natural gas service to houses.

The Picture in Scripture Amphitheater is 3.5 miles east of town, and on Fridays and Saturdays for several weeks during the summer presents the story of the apostle Paul.

46.8% of all households were made up of individuals, and 28.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
