Building owners have to dance a fine line between occupant comfort and energy conservation. The rule of thumb is that you don't sacrifice comfort for economy, that the energy savings comes from schemes that won't cause discomfort. That's why there are things like motion detectors, door switches and systems tied-in to the reservation computer.
The very smart systems (like the one that my company installs) will watch the reservation system and when a tenant checks in, the system will goto "Occupied" mode. It will still take some time to cool the room as soon and the tenant might make it to the room before then but that's hard to get around. The system then watches the room throughout the day. If there's a door switch cycle then no motion in the room, the system switches to unoccupied mode and the room will use less energy until another switch cycle and motion. At night the motion sensor is disables and the room stays in occupied mode. I can't say that Disney does exactly this but it's possible.
Property management companies do this to reduce the utility bills the best that they can and it's to your benefit as owners to let the system work to keep our annual fees down. Keep in mind that it's impossible, repeat, IMPOSSIBLE to satisfy everyone's comfort demands. Some people are going to experience a little discomfort along the way.
If you keep bypassing the system, they might disable that function then the housekeepers will be annoyed because that's the maintenance bypass function that they use. It's also possible that the owner may decide to assess a surcharge when the tenant bypasses the normal program. They know when you do it as it is logged into the central computer.
If you have a problem wiith the heating and cooling system, it's better that you complain about it. That way the complaint gets logged and if enough people have the same complaint, they can adjust the program or set points to make it a little more comfortable albeit a little less energy efficient.
That happens to be my business. I install and program these systems.
