I don't know how true this is, considering the source. I found an interview (second reference) where Michael says he can't go to Disneyland as himself, which sort of indicates he may have gone disguised.
At one point Michael Jackson was visiting Disneyland as often as four times a day. In order to mingle unnoticed, he adopted disguises incorporating sunglasses, wigs, hats, and fake beards and noses. He even began to travel around in a wheelchair. The chair, however, had nothing to do with his disguise. Rather, it enabled him to be pushed around the park - and to jump to the front of every line!

ED BRADLEY: But tell me why you developed Neverland.
MICHAEL JACKSON: Because I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There's a movie theater. I was always on tour, traveling. You know? And — I never got a chance to do those things. So, I compensated for the loss by — I have a good — I mean, I can't go into a park. I can't go to Disneyland, as myself. I can't go out and walk down the street. There's crowds, and bumper to bumper cars. And so, I create my world behind my gates. Everything that I love is behind those gates. We have elephants, and giraffes, and crocodiles, and every kind of tigers and lions. And — and we have bus loads of kids, who don't get to see those things. They come up sick children, and enjoy it. They enjoy it in a pure, loving, fun way. It's people with the dirty mind that think like that. I don't think that way. That's not me.
