I think the Neal Gabler biography that came out last year is fantastic. He's very fair about the good and the bad in Walt's life and gives a lot of explanation for possible why's of things. It's pretty long, but I think a good read.

My favorite is Walt Disney: An American Original by Bob Thomas. I started reading the Neal Gabler bio, but it seemed too tedious for me, I couldn't get into it. Bob Thomas's bio is a great one to start out on!
