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.
