News New Changes Coming to the Disney Look 2021

They can always try and plug the hole with more DCPers... Seems like there's an endless supply.

i mean… the DCP seems pretty successful to me - I feel like it’s a win-win-win for everyone involved.

I give the DCP program credit for keeping WDW feeling like WDW - the decline has been pretty bad at Disneyland.

People for whom nose rings are culturally normal can and do end up working as CMs in the American parks. For very obvious reasons, plenty of Fantasyland CMs already look "incongruous" with its Old World European theme, regardless of whether they have beards, piercings, or tattoos.

This is a completely different point from the one I was making. Yes, people from different cultures and people who subscribe to more modern norms around hair color, cosmetics, jewelry, etc. exist, and they are equally productive members of the general workforce who may also wish to work in the parks. That does not mean that Disney necessarily has to permit them to openly display their tattoos, wear their preferred jewelry, or apply cosmetics as they wish when working in costumed roles. They may choose to permit it because they have difficulty recruiting otherwise or because they want to be sensitive to cast members' wishes or because they think the impact to costuming is minimal, but it's a separate issue entirely from what people find culturally normal outside the parks versus within the themed environment.

DCP can be its own entity of weird and rather disturbing behavior. Just to throw this out there, post covid at the Flamingo Crossing DCP housing, they had a habitual Squirrel Skinner who would leave the carcass in common areas and this happened multiple times.

I'm not saying it's not successful, I'm just saying that Disney can always pull more people from that bucket if people aren't willing to play by the rules including the Look. Now should they or shouldn't they is an entirely different issue...
