Relaxed “Disney Look” Requirements for Cast Members

Relaxed “Disney Look” Requirements for Cast Members


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


You will soon start seeing more relaxed costuming on Cast Members at Walt Disney World parks. Here is what will soon be allowed.

Beginning October 28, 2019, Cast Members will be allowed to wear a single necklace and single bracelet. Also, a pendant an inch or less in size will be permitted.

Cast Members will also be able to grow facial hair, as long as it is less than an inch long. Previously, any beard growing would have to be done on vacation time because visible stubble was not allowed. Now Cast Members can have visible stubble while they are growing facial hair.

The “Disney Look” began in the 1950’s and was strictly enforced for decades. Cast Members were required to be clean-shaved and have a neat hair cut to work at the parks.

What do you think of this change? Do you prefer the more strict guidelines for Cast Members or do you think the “Disney Look” should be a thing of the past? Comment below, on the KtP facebook page, or the KtP crew facebook group!

I agree. We always make sure we go to Epcot early, and leave early, so our kids don't have to see the obnoxious drunks.

Seriously, if this upsets you. YOU DONT DESERVE CAST MEMBERS.

What an absurd statement. I don't deserve cast members because I want them to look clean-cut and keep the traditional magic in place? Sorry, NO.

I am ok with the changes. I don’t think these small changes are going to in any way take away from the Disney experience. Employees won’t be sloppy by any means!

I agree,,,the customary "clean cut" was a very refreshing thing for me, helped set Disney apart as a top notch company. To often I go pretty much anywhere and wonder if the organization even has a dress code anymore.
