Honestly? "Against" is a strong word, I just think it's all pretty stupid, to be honest. Mostly because of the fact that it's all (especially, Apple/Google Pay etc.) really anti-consumer disguised as a "benefit" for your convenience over something that really wasn't an inconvenience to begin with. I respect your right to use it, but I don't want companies further encouraging it, either. (Though, in this case, the money/control thing is exactly why you can't have what you want, as others have pointed out - Apple doesn't open up their NFC and won't be adding another one for one simple reason: the only purpose of NFC in these cases is to increase their profit, and allowing Disney to access them in such a way wouldn't put any money in their pockets.)
The money these companies (including Disney) are putting into NFC payments is not for your benefit. No one was sitting around a board room going, "How can we solve this problem" because largely the problem didn't exist - at least not enough to justify the billions companies are dumping into it because people occasionally misplace or forget their credit card. It was "how do we sell this to consumers" because there is a long line of financial benefits for them to implement this technology.
We know, in fact, with Disney, it's purpose was to increase per guest spending. They are pretty open about it in the board meetings. It's to make folks feel more detached from the actual money being spent, and apparently they are getting that extra few percent from people because of the psychological effect. From a park operations stand point, it obviously was also a way to invent new categories of micromanaging guests - which doesn't have the same immediate impact financially, and really is just the side effect "extra feature" - the main feature it was designed for was to get you to make payments that way, that's how they measure it's success.
When you get to Apple/Google Pay/etc. - that's a whole 'nother level. Unlike Disney's rather localized effect, Apple/Google/etc. just want to come between you and your money because that makes them money. Payment processing is the "it" business right now, because if you can get someone to use your method, you just started a new revenue stream for doing basically nothing but passing on a brief electronic message. It's kind of genius - except that it's going to cost all of us money because prices will go up if people actually start using these methods en masse.
Basically - no one likes cash, for businesses - it's relatively untraceable, it's easy to steal, it takes man power to count and process and transport, and it's just dirty (literally). The public rather agrees, hence how we have become the Debit Card nation.
When you use a debit/credit card, the merchant (the store) runs it through their credit card processor, who charges your bank, and keeps a percentage of the transaction (a few percent usually, it can vary wildly depending on individual contracts). When you use Apple/Google Pay/etc., the merchant runs it through their credit card processor (still taking their percentage), then through Apple and their processor (who take a percentage for themselves) who then charge your bank.
So, every time you use your NFC, you are just giving Apple/Google/etc. a percentage of the purchase you just bought, which in turn increases the credit card processing charges overall that businesses work into their prices now, and artificially bloats the price more (because of course they are going to pass it on to the consumer) - all for the luxury of not taking a card out of your pocket.
Actually, scratch my first statement - yes, I am against them, LOL - and I also think they are stupid.
Again, though - not that Apple would allow Disney to do it anyway. They'd demand a percentage of the admission price for the privilege of allowing the owner of the phone (you) to use the NFC chip on your device to benefit anyone but themselves.
(Disclosure, before I get labeled a "hater" - I own an iPhone 6s Plus 128GB, LOL...)
