Again .. the latch is not really very useful and while no one has reported it yet since they are INSISTENT on someone opening up right then I’m sure it will happen at some point ... therefore causing a potential issue for Disney ... that’s why I think given it’s uselessness I don’t think it will go on very long . I doubt this “ policy” will continue very long once more people start complaining .
My bigger question is are they simply looking or are they looking into your things ? I think just looking does nothing but causing annoyance and really is not going to prevent much of anything if someone is determined.
If a cm insisted on coming in a room with my underage daughter in there alone I would have a big issue with that regardless of their reasoning... just because it’s a WDW cm does not make it ok , given it’s just like any other place and they have had plenty of cm arrested for child porn issues over the years .
If I am at the food court or lobby I would expect them to wait and come back when a adult is in the room just like I would ANY hotel or resort . I definitely think this process is going to cause so many issues that it will not last very long .
I'm not sure what potential issues you are referring to. Disney staff has every right to walk into the resort rooms and has explicitly stated that in the terms and conditions we've agreed upon when we book a WDW room. If you're afraid the security check may happen when you leave your underage daughter in a room alone , then you have the choice of not leaving her alone in the room. We are all aware of the terms and conditions now. If they don't make you feel comfortable, you either figure out a way to work with them while you are staying there or choose to stay elsewhere.
Disney has changed their terms and conditions in regard to a LOT of things over the years - paper FP to FP+, ADR cancellation policies and no-show fees, GAC to DAS, resort booking and cancellation policies, elimination of non-expire tix, etc. There is ALWAYS an uproar over all of these things initially with people freaking out and speculating about how these policies will negatively affect their trips. You can certainly write to Disney and express your dismay, but, at the end of the day, if a policy is in place we either go with it and adapt or don't go. Those are really our choices. I'm certainly not advocating for this policy. I'm concerned about our own trip in Dec. as we spend a lot of time at the resort, but at some point I'll have to decide if I want to abide with it and stay or cancel and go somewhere else. But I'm certainly not going to go and make a "big issue" out of it at the resort when I know full well what the policy is.
