I'm not sure when they filmed the Disneyland footage but I would be a little offended if they filmed me while my family and I were there, then use it in the film. Legally don't they need to get written permission from people shown in the movie unless the movie is a documentary? Since this is fiction they can't claim it's a documentary.

No, that person wouldn't have a case. Unless they were made to do something involuntarily, unwillingly, embarrassing or other, how were they wronged? No bystander was asked to read dialogue that compromised their intregrity, etc. so they would have no valid complaint. Also, no bystander was used to promote the film so they'd have no right to revenue.
Having seen the film, I noticed specifically that no park visitor or cast member ever says or does something that isn't "them". This was purposefully done. It's not a great film, but it's interesting to see how they did it.

And who's to say that the old lady wasn't part of the crew.

You can shoot videos freely in public spaces.
shareDisney is not a public space. Disney is private property. It is not legal to film on private property without permission of the property owner. It doesn't matter if it's inside someone's house or a theme park. Just as you can't legally go into your neighbor's house and film them without their permission, you can't film inside a theme park without the permission of the owner.
Because of this, you could sue if your likeness is used in the film. You'd actually have a pretty good case, as your image would be being used for someone else's profit.
If you've ever been to Walt Disney World when they're actually filming things (parades, TV specials, etc.), there will e signs at the entrance to the park stating clearly that filming for (whatever) is taking place that day, and by entering the park you understand that it is possible that your image may be used as part of the program. If you object to having your image used, you are free to leave the park and visit a different one. It's their property, so they get to set the rules.
What would you sue them for?
You don't actually think they have money, do you?

I am against what you stand for.
You are right. Disney is not a public space. It's obvious when you have to pay admission to enter it.
Adding to that, and respond to earlier replies: One doesn't have to found direct indications to sue. Any visual or verbal indications are good enough to fire a violation. Especially when the crew filmed without permission.
What I like to know is, has Disney respond to this film? It directly reflected the negativity of Disney, and I'm just surprise an image freak like Disney didn't do anything about it.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like Disney as much as the film maker. I just want to know how they got away with it.
Classics are names that everyone heard, yet most have never seen!!
They probably decided that bringing attention to this movie would only make more people watch it. As it is, a very small percentage of people will see it.

lol anybody who sues over things like this is absolutely pathetic in my eyes.
shareIn the end, who actually DECIDES these rules if they were not set in stone and created by God (has it even been proven if he exists?) and does that make it RIGHT?
IF by law (given that morality isn't a powerful enough entity to make these decisions factually right and just), one can OR cannot be sued because this is how THEY decide, who is ultimately right?
And would you QUESTION it or just move on with your life?
