Live Action: Bedtime Stories [Runner up: G-Force (disappointed it wasn't G-Force)]
I had to check another website for the complete list of Disney movies. I only considered films I had seen in their entirety, otherwise any number of those t'ween focused made-for-the Disney Channel movies would populate the list.
I've actually seen the former, and I don't remember anything particularly bad about it. It's just some information on what your period is like...coming from Walt Motherfucking Disney.
My actual answer to this would be the Beauty and the Beast Christmas movie, which I have vague memories of having watched at some point. If you want something more definite...Peter Pan? The Rescuers Down Under? Tarzan? I don't have a lot of good examples.
@gunstarred: That's pretty bold, I loved that movie - it's actually one of my top Disney films.
I really didn't like Cinderella.
Is it though? I mean, it isn't the worst Disney movie ever made but,nostalgia and Daft Punk aside, it certainly isn't good. Tron Legacy is an exciting music video for the first 30 minutes. It looks good and it sounds good, but its story is pretty poor and none of the characters are particularly interesting to follow. Lack of a good story probably wouldn't have mattered if they could have kept up the action throughout the film, but after that light cycle race, the movie just slows to a crawl. It's a movie I certainly would go back and watch, but only for that first 30 minutes.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame was just...I don't know what. Trying to turn Victor Hugo's novel into an all-ages family movie was not a good idea. Though Frollo's fire and brimstone musical number about how he wanted a gypsy woman to burn in Hell for turning him on is one of the great WTF moments in any Disney film, I'll give it that.
@minipato: It's funny that just after I typed my answer I switched on the TV and the light cycle race was on. It's actually kinda boring, sure it looks nice and the pixel-y explosions are neat, but it lacks any sense of speed and excitement. In fact I think every single action sequence while superbly shot/visually stunning feels that way.
I kinda feel like I have to add that I want to love that film so much. I had such a hugely negative reaction to it the very first time I saw it that it really does stick in my mind as one of the worst Disney movies I have ever seen. It's a nonsensical music video with great music and terrible characters. Olivia Wilde's hair is pretty rad though.
The worst big budget movie I'd say is Cars. However, the most disappointing would be Brave, I feel like that movie could not have been more mediocre than it was.
Bolt is pretty bad. It is like a propaganda for pet owners. But my worst disney movie watching experience is Tron Legacy in 3D, it was like watching a completely black screen.
That's a hard one. If we're talking theatrical releases... I think Atlantis is probably the beginning of the end for Disney animated films being good. If we're talking direct to DVD junk, I'm pretty sure I've seen Cinderella 2 at some point in my life. I have never seen Home on the Range, Cars 2 or any other critically panned stinker and I have no real recollection of most of the direct to video stuff I've seen as a kid.

I don't know if I've ever seen a truly awful movie from Disney, but I was disappointed in Cars 2. I thought it was an improvement over Cars 1, because it was better paced. However, I did not like the fact that Mater was the lead hero this time. I liked him better as the comic relief in the first movie, and I wished Pixar had stuck to that.
