Singular Disney is going to be difficult for me when I'm calling out multiple Disney's at the same time....There shouldn't be a problem with Disney's...Eg "Disney's new production blah blah"...cant ban the plural of Disney in this respect I think...
You COULD spell it "Throatwarbler Mangroves" if you really wanted to :)
Kidding aside, in English the terminal -ey doesn't change to -ie before appending -s to form the plural.
monkey → monkeys (ree)
lackey → lackeys
attorney → attorneys
disney → disneys
Etc.
The single (needless) exception is one acceptable plural form for the word money, "monies"; I always use the more intuitive variant "moneys" to be consistent.
That said, there's no reason the common (lowercase) noun disney, meaning pedophile, can't be arbitrarily assigned an irregular plural that's the same as the singular—as with deer, elk, moose, sheep, caribou, and some other animals.
("Did you see all those disney getting arrested in the big trafficking sting yesterday? Two of the disney got shot dead, and they must have hauled away more than thee dozen other disney!") That would remove the problem of algorithms searching for and removing "disneyS".
They are, after all, animals. Though that's an insult to animals, who never torture, rape, kill, and drink the blood of their young for entertainment and exhilaration.

Or "You Disney (in the plural) are crap." :)
The plural of Disney is Disneys (no apostrophe, obviously) but you could equally spell it "Disnies".

Underrated.
It's like the Disney word Jedi ... Both singular and plural.
