Yeah and what are the odds Disney is correlating their license plate scanners with anything in the park? I’d assume the license plates only get looked at if a crime occurs

They actually list specific uses in a separate policy [1]

It's also probably the same reasons the casinos are using them to.

Verifying who is there, why they're there there, CYA for when they screw up, and probably looking for reasons to remove you.

Why do you assume that? Disney is a major multinational corporation. It's hard for me to believe that such companies are willing to leave money on the table.
