Otherwise they would just let her, and her family drift into the sunset. You did, but most people didn't. Now they can read your diatribes!

I've no problem with unused rooms being warmer, as long as they don't hit the mildew level. When we had to drive down after 9/11, we stayed at a hotel in Georgia, because it was off-season,they'd offed the a/c and our room was wet everywhere because of humidity. Yuck.

Originally Posted By DyGDisney Forced air below 78 degrees is too cold for me. I keep my AC at 79 in the summer, and my heater at about 68 degrees in the winter. The idea of the room being kept at 70 or 71 in the summer like some have mentioned makes me cold! It's like when you go to a restaurant in the summer and have to take a jacket because it's so cold in there. That being said, that's my personal like. I agree that Disney should not force us to set our room to a certain temp. I like the idea of being able to unlock the thermostat with your room key. This won't keep me from staying there when I get the opportunity though!

And thanks for the prayers. I can use all the help I can get.

Originally Posted By LadyandtheTramp Temperature is a funny thing. When we lived in Illinois, during the winter, we kept the daytime temperature at 68, and the nightime temperature at 55 (great for sleeping under a quilt). In the summer, cooling was set at 75 for the day, and 72 at night. Living in Florida now, daytime for cooling is at either 78 or 79 (depending on who changed the thermostat last). If we need to change to heating, that's set at 72. In all these cases, it always seemed comfortable. Can't figure that out! Of course, right now, I'm up north in a hotel room with the temperature set to heat to 72, and I'm cold. So I'll be cranking it up a bit. But at least I can set it to where I want - not to some arbitrary temperature that big brother decides is best for me. Particularly true at the prices WDW charges for rooms - let me decide how "green" I want to be, but allow me to be comfortable at whatever (reasonable?) temperature I believe appropriate. (Oh, and I've been in number of those European rooms that turn everything off until you insert a room key; doesn't bother me a bit, and if it helps keeps costs down, that's ok, because I can control everything when I'm in the room.)
Originally Posted By dshyates Well in FL during Aug. the inside temp of a hotel room that hasn't had the AC on for a couple of days would be somewhere around 120. It should only take 4-5 hours to bring it down to a temp you could actually sit in comfortably. That is exactly what I am looking for in a $650/night luxury hotel room.

Originally Posted By magnet OK, there's a very, very stupid argument going on here. There are many factors that need to be considered besides temperature, so arguing over whether 72 or 76 is too hot or too cold is unproductive. You have to consider both the temperature and humidity of the environment as well as the construction materials and insulation of the room. 76 degrees in a humid environment can feel much hotter, so how can you say that 72 is too cold? Taking into account the heat index with a 72 degree temperature might feel exactly like your 76 where the humidity is lower! I lived for a while in an old stone building. The stone was heated by the sun all day through the summer and at night it radiated the heat back into the room when the outside was cooler. If I didn't leave the air conditioning run during the day, it would take hours for it to cool the room down in the evening since the stone held the heat very well. Likewise, in winter the windows would allow a lot of cold into the room, so though the temperature at the thermostat was 74, there was a large gradient through the room making it feel quite a bit colder inside depending where you were. The main point here is that when you can only control the temperature, you MUST be able to raise and lower it when other factors, like humidity, become extreme. The air conditioner will de-humidify, but you may need to drop the temperature for this to be effective. So, if Disney is thinking to set the temperatures of the all the rooms the same, they are absolutely ignoring the science at work. That's just a fact.
