I'm currently at Port Orleans, French Quarter. It's day one, and at about 8:40pm, there was a loud insistent knock at the door.
Unfortunately, at the time, I was in the bath. So now I have to get out, get dressed, and answer the door. Knock number two came while I was getting out. I went to the door and looked through the peephole and could see a man in what seemed to be pants and a dress shirt. It was dark enough out that it wasn't a clear view.
I called that I would be there in a minute, I don't know if he didn't hear me or did and realized he had the wrong room, because when I finally was ready to answer the door, there wasn't a soul in sight.
So I went down to the front desk to see if it was indeed a room check. They checked and came to the conclusion no one had been sent there at that time.
I had assumed that perhaps because it was the first day and there wasn't a chance for housekeeping to come in, someone came abnormally late, and I wanted to see if this was a common occurrence, since I wasn't too thrilled that now I was wet, my pajamas were wet, and the floor was wet.
They said typically the room checks don't happen that late. I asked if the cast member is always in uniform. They said either in uniform or business casual. My issue, that's what this mysterious man was in.
I wish they were more clear about what to expect. In any case, if I ever see anyone outside that isn't clearly a cast member, I'm leaving the latch on when I open the door so I can get a better gauge on the situation without opening my room to a stranger. (Actually, even if it is a cast member, that's probably a smart step one.) I believe in this case it was probably someone who simply got confused, but it would be easy enough for someone to take advantage of the confusion to their own purposes.
The front desk did offer to call security, but I don't think it was necessary in this instance. It was just a good reminder for me not to assume anything.
