I totally understand. Most of the security people seem embarrassed and apologetic as they enter, but I’ve had a few who were a bit brusk. It happens so fast that you don’t really have time to process it until they’re gone.
Not now.
These kinds of security checks have been going on for years. If you're in the room when they come, you're required to let them in. Or you can politely ask they come back later and they may be obliging, though they would not be required to. If you're not there, they'll do the same check (and flush the toilet, if that's part of their process) anyway. While there may be some guest/customer service training that needs to happen among the people doing these checks, the interaction described would be a typical security check.
You can ask them to come back later, but they may be back in 20 minutes.
You can do what you want. I'm just giving options.
Usually that works. But with Housekeeping reduced to every other day, I would think there would be no guarantee that security won’t come.
They have been doing those safety checks since the shooting that happened in Nevada. There even was a long thread that discussed room checks.
Keep in mind that when staying at a hotel, you're under the rules of someone else. While you have an expectation of privacy, any hotel reserves the right to enter your room at any time for any reason. Especially on private property, such as Disney. When you call the front desk from your room, you're actually calling a call center rep that may be out of state. While they may be familiar with the security checks, you're not talking to a fellow resort employee and the phone rep likely would not know the employee at your door. And FWIW, I've read reports of security checks completed by females as well.
