Due to Covid-19 my wife and I had a bunch of points to burn before our use year was up, we rented a large two bedroom suite just to use up the points. Since it was just us I called maid service and told them don't bother servicing our room and if we needed anything we'd call, we went out for a little while and came back to a message light flashing on the phone. I called to retrieve the message they wanted to make sure I didn't want service or need service I told them that we're fine, I was then informed that even though we don't need maid service they would need to do a daily room inspection. We've been members of the vacation club for well over 10 years I questioned it and they said it's been policy for the last couple of years. So basically they wait until you're not in the room and then come inspect your room while you are not present to me this is done intentionally. When you put up a do not disturb sign or tell them you don't want the maid on your room it usually means you want uninterrupted privacy not some one searching your room without you present
I read an article a few months ago didn't give it a second thought until now, A man checked into a Disney Resort and he had brought a rifle with him. He was a Florida resident 100% legal to own transport carry and have with him, but it's against Disney policy. As far as I'm concerned Disney's private property and if Disney wants a no gun policy even if I disagree and truly believe no guns zone means Target Rich environment for a criminal because they don't follow no gun zone signs or rules only law abiding citizens do it's Disney's property they can do what they want. And if you don't agree with their policy spend your money somewhere else, Apparently the police were called they found out the man was 100% legal under Florida law and being a Florida resident but he was made to check his weapon into Animal Kingdom where I assume they have a weapons vault in case they have to put down a dangerous or sick animal. (Pure assumption on my part but logical as far as why it was Animal Kingdom he had to store it) usually legal gun owners don't flash their weapon or make it known that they have one with them unless it's for self protection, they're hunting, target shooting etc.
After hearing about the room inspection policy it made more sense to me on why the man got caught with the weapon he probably had it by the bed or in a closet for self protection and when they inspected his room they saw it and called the police who did not charge him just made him store it Animal Kingdom until he left.
I retired from law enforcement as far as a paid hotel room is concerned they're treated the same as a home when it comes to searches they need a warrant and probable cause to search your room yet Disney calls it an inspection and searches your room anyways while you're not there
When I get he home I am going to review my contract completely and have a lawyer review it as well I replayed and recorded the message and response i got about mandatory room inspection since it's a new policy I doubt it's in the contract.
They wait for you to leave before inspecting/searching your room how do you know they aren't going through your luggage, your drawers, stealing money or prescription medicine or sniffing your wife or daughters used panties ??? It's bad enough upon checking into a room we usually check for hidden cameras all the time now because the are so easy to hide by an employee or previous guest.
Not saying Disney employees are criminals or perverts but in ANY organization there are scumbags and perverts so in closing just realize if you are staying at a Disney Resort your room is being searched without your knowledge or permission and in your absence. I wonder why they do it when you are not present?? And I wonder why they feel the need to enter your room while your not present at all if you specifically ask them not to barring an emergency or an actual need like a broken water pipe causing flooding
