Here's why. Disneyland and the casino industry of Vegas are pretty much the same business. When you go into a casino, everything is created to give you an experience to think you're not actually where you are. Everything's created to help you spend more money. And every movement you make around the entire casino is tracked. The cameras watch you come in. They watch what you buy. They watch what you look at, they watch what you do. Same thing in Disneyland. The moment you walk into Disneyland, or even the surrounding area, there's cameras on you. They're tracking your phone, they're tracking you. They're tracking your location. They're tracking everything you do to better their experience and keep the place secure. And most importantly, take as much of your money as possible.
