that latch can be very easily opened from outside if someone wants to check internet of videos of how to doThe latch will keep housekeeping out whilst you’re in the room. They may knock and announce themselves but obviously they can’t get in whilst that is on. Just a friendly shout from you to say that the room is still occupied is enough to make sure they don’t try the door. If you have forgotten to put the latch on and they get no answer when hey knock on your door, they may well come into your room but if they see or hear you in there, they will leave immediately. They will then come back later to service your room. Housekeeping really have enough to be getting on with without standing outside your room until you leave.
I genuinely don’t see what the difference is between Disney hotels and every other hotel property I have ever stayed in, yet it seems to be a massive deal on these boards and as a result, people are getting wound up and worried about being walked in on etc.
Put your latch on, communicate with them if they knock and don’t worry about it. The new policy means they service/ check rooms every 24 hours. No one is going to demand entry and start calling security if you don’t answer the initial morning knock.
