Listen, I can understand why they want to do this as CYA in this dangerous world (trafficking, shootings, etc), but they need to find a better process.
So I was staying in a 1-bdrm DVC resort. Was alone in the room, it was mid-afternoon. Went in for a nice hot shower, walked out of my bathroom undressed to find a strange man standing in my bedroom. He saw everything before I could run back into the bathroom. He apologized profusely as he exited, saying he was a cast member and just doing their daily room safety check. And yes, I had put on the safety lock and the sign on the knob outside. Apparently they're able to by-pass that lock. So he knew I had the safety lock on, which you can only put on from the inside. And he made it to my bedroom without apparently hearing me in the shower.
Apparently this is policy and a common occurrence:
When we stayed at OKW we got room checked EVERY DAY during nap time for the first 4 days. Like "do not disturb" sign on the door and safety lock locked. They full on walked in the room and saw me sleeping with my kid in the dark and just stared as if they were shocked that we were in a room that clearly said do not disturb.
Yep this happened to us at the polynesian last month. My daughter wasn't feeling well so she was napping. I went to use the bathroom and came out to a man standing in our room. I heard the knock first and quickly exited the bathroom, but he had already entered. It was super fricking weird.
I came back to the room before the rest of my family, but was expecting them to arrive soon, so I didn't put the lock on the door. I went to take a shower and I hear the room door open, and I assume it's my husband and kids. I literally am talking loudly from the bathroom to (who I think is) them. But no, it's housekeeping doing a room check. She doesn't respond at all and opens the bathroom door while I'm showering! Like, seriously?! Then she acts like she didn't hear any of this or the water running and apologizes and leaves. Then they call a few minutes later saying they need to do a room check, even though she already did. THEN they show up 30 minutes to check again. It's just ridiculous how it's all done.
The first time I was victim to a Disney room check was 2021. My best friend and I (both 33F) were staying at Pop Century. We were sleeping in and at 7am two male CMs start knocking on the door and key into the room. We had the safety latch on so they could only open it a few inches.
7am lol
As someone pointed out in the comments, how hasn't anyone shot a cleaner yet? Florida wouldn't even arrest you - you'd be in Magic Kingdom in time for the fireworks.

The Vegas shooter spent days lugging military-grade weaponry up to his room and no one checked.

Hotels are terrified of someone locking themselves in their room for days, setting up some kind of killing ground and then detonating a bomb or something. Checking every room every day gives them a way to say "we tried"

Wrong. Larry Silverstein had the guns and ammo hidden in a secret stash during the hotel's construction. He had already planned for the shooter to be drugged and brainwashed by John Podesta during a spirit cooking party, then bundled into the room to do the deed.

Lol they call their bellboys "cast members"? That's cringier than calling retail wagies "associates".
THEN STOP GOING THERE /u/WolfieGurl7, JESUS. They charge like wounded bulls and treat you like dirt because you keep going back and paying for it! You people are worse than gaymers, honestly.

Tbh they've been calling them cast members since forever. I haven't personally been employed as a low level at Disney but from what I can tell, it gets dangerously close to being cult-like without crossing that line. The staff has to be absolutely perfect in front of guests but they all frickin and shit in their dorms.

I don't know why they put up with it for the level of quality they expect. I don't think they are paid particularly well. Costco probably has better wages.

Because they're r-slurs who love Disney. Some of them would work for even worse wages I'm sure

"DVC" is Disney's timeshare program that starts at around $30K, not even including the annual fees they tack on. She can stop going but likely won't be able to stop paying. The contracts are ironclad and the only way out is selling at a substantial loss.

It's Disney so if any place that's going to do it's them and odds are they do other stuff than just being a bell boy.

These comments are unhinged, wanting to lock this dude up for doing his job.

I think Disney adults are right for once - I get needing to do a daily check but ignoring a do not disturb sign, bypassing the security lock and walking into the bathroom while you can hear the shower running is ez lawsuit.
If it gets to 8pm and they still haven't been able to do the check then there should be a process of phoning the room and having a manager present.

Disney adults suck but if you "doing your job" involves bypassing a security lock and walking into the bathroom while the guest is taking a shower then you deserve to be r*ped to death.

At Disney Florida it is. I stayed at one of their on campus Hotels and had the daily room check. I think it's to combat trafficking.
Or they were being racist and profiling me

Idk why but a hooker servicing clients at a Disney resort sounds more depressing than a crack house or roach motel.
