Gotcha...so TWO female security officers do room checks together. Problem solved again!

I think this is all a bit of a storm in a D cup

Actually, her timeline makes perfect sense. She was on her way to the airport. Her husband ran the race the day before and they waited in the room for him. Housekeeping came by and she declined because they would be checking out the next day (today). They then knocked again at 2:30 pm as they were about to leave for dinner.But that's not what she said, and why I'm asking-- because that timeline doesn't make sense AS POSTED.
Don't look here lol.wow.
For security, we’ve used a rubber door stop in our door. We also purchased one with an alarm on it. I guess we will be bringing them on our next trip.So I just did a quick google search for youtube videos of how to open the Disney room style latches and they can be opened in much less than 30 seconds without requiring any fancy tools. I have not heard any stories yet on if Disney will attempt bypass the latch. But it isn't difficult.
Can't be in the parks alone, unless you are over 14. Maybe, Disney will implement rules for hotel rooms...no unaccompanied 18 year olds allowed without an adult.What about the scenario if a minor child is in the room alone? It's not unreasonable to leave a child over 12 in the room while you go to the food court, front desk, etc. What are we to tell our kids to do while this man repeatedly bangs on the door??? It's hard to predict what a scared kid might do- and there is no reason for an adult(man or woman) to be alone with anyone in a hotel room, much less a child!
However, if Disney is going to send a strange person to my room that insists on entering when I give every indication of not wanting entry, they had better be able to effectively communicate with me.
Also, I could maybe understand the insistence on entering if the sign had been up for 24 hours, but it is acceptable after only an hour.
Curious in this case: Did you have late checkout? The times I've asked (usually for running races), I can never get a checkout as late as 2:30 pm-- maybe 1 pm at the latest.
So that *might* explain why they came back by, because generally on a checkout day, the guest is well out of the room by 2:30.

Isn't it ironic that this new room security policy is making so many of us WDW hotel guests actually feel less safe?
Would be odd. I can start college at 27 but can’t stay in a hotel room for a few hours?

There’s no age in the FL law to be at home alone.

Yeah, I also figured that was probably what was going on. I just find it ironic that a result of this change is that so many of us now feel less safe as guests at these hotels.I don't think the intent was ever to make people feel safe. This is something their lawyers told them to do to limit liability if an incident ever happened. This is all about money not safety of their guests.

I'm amazed at how many people apparently don't think to use the extra security latch when they are in their rooms.
It isn't that we don't use the latch. It is that sometimes we just don't want someone to knock.I'm amazed at how many people apparently don't think to use the extra security latch when they are in their rooms.
This also applies to their dog policy.I don't think they really thought this out and have also underestimated the push back there are going to get.
When people were talking in those threads about "has anyone seen people so outraged at a new policy"...I was like uh..yeah all the time here on the DIS and I knew there would be another one eventually that would be the same..just how it goes.This new policy (which isn't really new) is actually just a ploy to take the focus off the dog policy.
Well played, Disney.
