It was two years ago WDW Resorts started offering the 'budget' version of Mousekeeping services and introduced the opt-out option at check in.
A Disney Gift Card was your 'reward' for doing so, typically $10 for each night booked.
In-room random 'Security Checks' were also being done long before Covid.
Those began after the news broke of the idiot who had set up a meth lab in his Disney Resort room......
So this isn't anything new....and was going on well before the Covid Apocolypse.
Sorry to hear they no longer offer the Gift Card if you decline Mousekeeping services at check in.
I typically did, but probably wouldn't bother now.
