Disney hotels eliminate 'Do Not Disturb' signs as part of new security policy

Disney is rolling out an upgraded security policy at several of its resorts, beginning with the three monorail hotels near the Magic Kingdom.

On Friday, guests at the three properties – the Grand Floridian, Polynesian and Contemporary resorts – no longer had “Do Not Disturb” signs for their doors. Instead, they have been replaced with “Room Occupied” signs that will alert cast members that guests are in their rooms.

Along with the new term comes a policy that requires Disney cast members to enter each hotel room at least once a day to “ensure guest safety,” according to a report by Walt Disney World News Today.

Before the policy, a “Do Not Disturb” sign would signal for employees to bypass the room. But now, Disney says that “the hotel and its staff reserve the right to enter your room for any purpose including, but not limited to, performing maintenance and repairs or checking on the safety and security of guests and property.”

Those do a good job of letting them know someone is in the room. How do they bypass that to enter?

No way to defeat that short of damaging the door frame by forced entry.

I don't remember those being in the big hotels. Always on smaller chain hotels.I wonder if I can find a definitive answer...

Then after they check the room and find that you are or are not there.

They will charge you either way for not applying your "occupied" sign properly.

I always put up the do not disturb whenever I leave the room, not that it will mean a fuck but it makes me feel better. WTF is the difference with a sign saying occupied? Someone probably got a paid vacation for this.

That wouls be the end to me staying at that shit place and staying in either their lot or a walmart lot where I would be a lot safer. They are inducing their own demise.

FF events for reason, zero safety at major hotels.

I guess I haven't stayed in a hotel for a while...they used to have deadbolts.
