Walley World itself is a good-natured parody of Walt Disney's Disneyland, based on the Anaheim location. The name of the mascot, Marty Moose, is reminiscent of Disney's Mickey Mouse and the "Marty Moose theme song" that the family sings in the car is a parody of the Mickey Mouse Club theme song. Roy Walley himself is a pastiche of both Walt Disney and Roy O. Disney, right down to the thin mustache.
