As a hotelier I can say it’s most likely primarily this. We all are on the lookout for this and it happens more than you’d think. Disney would be the kind of place that would be attractive to people trafficking kids.It is also to look for signs of human trafficking.
I've read several reports of security checks from guests who did not decline housekeeping. No one is immune.To clarify, security checks are typically done if housekeeping has not entered the room that day - primarily people who choose to decline housekeeping for the gift card. When the security checks occur, it could be a CM from housekeeping who does it, but I think its typically a CM from some other area of resort operations. If you get housekeeping service each day, you shouldn't be further affected by any security checks.
Typically, those who receive housekeeping should not receive a security check in addition to. Its always possible housekeeping misses/skips a room or can't get into a room during their shift if the occupants are there, and in those cases, a security check would be done. The point is to get a CM's eyes inside every room once a day. It would be a waste of their resources to do it more than once in a day, unless there was an error (i.e. something was mis-keyed in their system).I've read several reports of security checks from guests who did not decline housekeeping.

I don’t think it’s necessarily a mistake, I just think that’s the way they sometimes do security checks. In some cases I think it’s quicker for security to take a row of rooms and just go door to door if they know the majority of rooms along a particular corridor have mostly opted out of housekeeping, rather then constantly stopping to check which room they should go to next and having to backtrack if they’ve missed one.Typically, those who receive housekeeping should not receive a security check in addition to.

Its always been my understanding that security is dispatched to rooms that have opted out of housekeeping or that housekeeping has not entered that day in order to perform the check. Regardless, a guest should be getting only one or the other, not both.I don’t think it’s necessarily a mistake, I just think that’s the way they sometimes do security checks.

Right or wrong, sometimes they get both. These are just my observations on how security rolls. I often sit outside my room on a bench and drink coffee while my family sleeps in. I’ve observed multiple security checks at Pop and POFQ. Sometimes security is just going door to door regardless of housekeeping and sometimes they’re being selective. I don’t really think it’s a big deal either way. Just as sometimes you get visited by security twice in one day. That has only happened to us once (that we know of) but it can happen.Its always been my understanding that security is dispatched to rooms that have opted out of housekeeping or that housekeeping has not entered that day in order to perform the check.

I understand. I was just clarifying that's not how its *supposed* to work, just so people know that if they decide to get housekeeping, they shouldn't expect a second interruption at some point during the day. As with everything, there's always exceptions, but its not typical.Right or wrong, sometimes they get both. These are just my observations on how security rolls.

I really think people should expect it, or at least prepare themselves for the possibility, just so they don’t set themselves up for disappointment. I think it might be more typical then people realize, but most people are in the parks anyways, so they’ll never know the difference.I understand.

Well hopefully they wouldn't be disappointed - its not a big deal either way. My only point was that keeping housekeeping does not equate to two checks per day.I really think people should expect it, or at least prepare themselves for the possibility, just so they don’t set themselves up for disappointment.

Right! I’d be very unhappy if I got 2 checks in a day. I request housekeeping in the morning while I’m in the park. We always return in afternoon to either rest in room or have a pool break. I’d be unhappy if someone interrupted my nap or came while I was showering from pool.Well hopefully they wouldn't be disappointed - its not a big deal either way.
