Are the early morning room checks happening at all the resort or only at the resorts on the monorail loop?
She also said that if you’re worried that someone isn’t a Disney cast member, only Disney cast members can open your doors. Step out of the room and let said cast member magic band their way in. Don’t let him or her in yourself. Let them do the work if they want to check your room. If their magic band doesn’t open your door, then that’s the time to alert the front desk (maybe take a picture of the person). I work in law enforcement so this was my main concern. Knowing for sure that a real cast member is checking my room.

But I'm concerned about the conflicting reports as to whether there may be a "security check" in addition to daily housekeeping.
We just stayed 10 days at Saratoga.
It was normal for housekeeping to knock between 8:30 and 8:45. We checked with the front desk and they told us that we needed to speak with housekeeping. But that we wouldn't be guaranteed a time. After speaking to housekeeping, they still came by early, but it would be a little later. By that time we were dressed, even if we weren't out of the room.
On our last day, our housekeeper stood outside of our door for 45 minutes, and I meant literally, waiting for us to pack up and move out. (No we were not passed checkout time.)
This entire thing is getting out of hand. It sounds like they are more occupied with disturbing people than actually cleaning the room. And reports that if you get back to your room and it isn’t completed and you tell the housekeeping that you are back and skip for sleep that will guarantee a visit by security. And that stupid room occupied sign is making them nervous that someone is hold up in a room and they want in. I think I am not going to be using that sign ever because it doesn’t stop them from knocking anyway. So a little reverse psychology.
I am thinking that the understaffed and overworked housekeeper at Disney is a rumor. An internet tale. A mythical creature.This is ridiculous! We do like daily housekeeping so we, in theory, shouldn't be affected by this policy. But, we do not leave our room until about 11 am. This is what I have a problem with!
And- why would a supposedly busy and overworked Disney housekeeper have time to stand outside of a room and wait for guests to leave when they have every right to be in the room? No one should be coming to a room that is obviously occupied before check out time on check out day.

I jumped when I first walked out, surprised to see someone standing right there. I smiled and said good morning, and went out to the car. When I came back, minutes later, she was still standing there, so I told her that we would be a while. That we had just started and it was going to take almost an hour. She smiled and nodded.
When I went into the room, my husband asked if I had met our friend. According to him she had been out there for about 10 minutes already.
And there she stood, until we left.

I vote we change their name from Mouse-keeping to Mouse-creeping.
