I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but I heard that when Walt Disney was building Disneyland, he offered to expand the monorail to major areas in and around L.A. But, the city planners at the time turned him down, because the freeeway system was the way of the future...lol

Well you're partly correct.
That offer was actually made to LA by ALEWEG, who developed both the Disneyland and the Seattle monorail systems.
