Disney Requires Daily Entry Into All Occupied Hotel Rooms

The company says brief welfare visits safeguard guests as part of post–2017 industry safety changes.

Overview

  • Disney hotel staff must enter each occupied room at least once every 24 hours across company-owned resorts.
  • Guests cannot opt out, even if they decline housekeeping or display a “Room Occupied” sign on the door.
  • The visits are described as safety checks rather than searches and typically take less than a minute when guests are present.
  • If guests are away, staff use access to conduct a quick visual verification and depart, which may go unnoticed.
  • The policy reflects a broader hotel-industry shift after the Las Vegas mass shooting, with reporters advising privacy-focused travelers to consider off‑property options that may differ.
