Excessive Room Checks?

[Minnie1222]

No. It should be made very clear that they will walk in on you in vulnerable situations without your permission.

Again, don't stay at a Disney hotel if you have this high level of suspicion/fear/anxiety towards them. I stay at their hotels on average 15-20 days per year during various trips. So far I've had  ONE knock at AKL. This took place during the re-opening phase when daily housekeeping wasn't available. The man who knocked never went in the room, instead he only asked for a good returning time.

I'm not dismissing the idea that one day they will walk in on me, but this hasn't happened for the past decades so I'm not worried.

You are lucky they haven't walked in on you. It has happened to others. I'm sure they had no idea this is how these checks are carried out. They have every right to be anxious.

Some have purchased DVC, so it's not as easy as "don't stay at a Disney resort".

This was never an issue for us as DVC owners for three decades either. I gather you are not a DVC owner since you refer to hotels. We have traveled extensively in addition to our Disney trips and this has never been an issue anywhere else. The fact that we OWN DVC makes it ten times worse.

I'm glad you are not afraid of security walking in on you at any time, even if you don't hear the knock and are in the shower. I'd say 99% of people would be mortified in that situation.

Properties can be sold!
While I don't own DVC, I do own a pied-a-terre at a highly sought-after location. If staying at this place gave me anxiety, it would be immediately listed.

I suppose you also say that disabled people that can't get (yet want) the DAS should just shut up and not ever go to a Disney Park again.

Maybe some people don't have a medical diagnosis like anxiety.

Maybe they just want normal privacy and what they signed up for when they purchased their home away from home.

These invasive room checks are theatrics at this point. I wonder what training and clearances these room inspectors have?

This is a big leap from the current discussion. I have no comments on this topic. Good night!

But you were so black and white with people that didn't like it when employees walked into their room. Surely you hold this dismissive attitude with everyone that doesn't agree with how Disney runs their property.

Speak to the hotel manager if you have a specific disability. Please don't use DAS as a group to further your point. Also, please don't confuse inclusivity with entitlement.

You can use all of the buzz words that you want. But in no way is not wanting someone to walk in while you are naked entitlement.

The tone of this thread has been trending too personal/argumentative over the last few days and the overall topic is flirting with dead horse status. Please move on, or this thread will follow in the wake of nearly every other room check thread over the years and be closed.

Thank you.

We will be going back for New Years and I will be bringing my room camera with us, to check on them as they check on us

It would be interesting to see exactly what the room checkers do when a room is unoccupied. Do they rummage through drawers and luggage? If a violin case is lying on the floor, would they resist the temptation to peek inside to check whether it actually contained a firearm? As far as I know there is nothing legally stopping them from doing any of this.
