Back when I worked at Disneyland during summer seasons, we occasionally had problems with parents dropping off their kids and using the park as a day care facility. Maybe it's gotten worse. The new policy looks like it's only going to be enforced when kids enter the parks unaccompanied, though. So a parent now has to go inside the park with the kids before leaving them to wander on their own, but it doesn't require the parent to accompany them throughout the park or even to stay in the same park with them.
The kids I encountered were well-behaved, and were often better behaved than some groups of adults visiting the resort. The kids didn't want to get banned from Disneyland! We still worried about their safety, though.
