Are the thermostats at SSR the same as before the new remodel

[DVCKev]

I am wondering if anyone knows if the thermostats are the same as before the remodel at SSR? Also, do you need a balloon in front of it to keep the AC working all night and not turning off? Thanks.

The thermostats are new. I used a balloon when I was just there in March to keep the A/C running.

Just returned- thermostat was new but had the opposite problem. We could not get the air to turn off- It constantly ran so it was freezing cold sometimes. We just turned the air completely off when that happened and it seemed to reset. FYI- the new ceiling fans really cooled things off as well.

Also just returned from SSR. I had no problem with the thermostats at all. I agree with Carlnne that the AC worked very well. But, we didn't have to get up every few hours all night for it to kick on like the old days.

Many thanks for the responses, I was going to dig out my old instructions on how to bypass the temp if it was the old thermostats still, but it sounds like it is a non issue now!

We still felt like we had to get up every few hours as it got hot. We like to sleep in very cold temps though. It does now have a big LED screen so it lights bother you bring some tape or a post it note to stick over it.

How do you bypass the new thermostats here at SSR, it’s hot for us New Yorkers at 68

Did I just learn a Disney hack? A balloon will keep the A/C running?!

In the old rooms before remodel, you could press and hold the two arrow buttons and then see the word bypass, then press the down arrow button to the desired temp (67 for me). It would last about 24 hours and then you needed to do it again I believe. Last used on our 2019 trip, and sounds like it is not an issue now, but there have been a couple of folks saying its too hot now.....
