"That's not to say Santa Claus can suddenly start working in the Magic Kingdom. Disney's new policy restricts any facial hair to no more than a quarter of an inch in length. And the company says any chin whiskers "must create an overall neat, polished and professional look" and must be fully grown in and well-groomed".
Sexy. I say bring it on.

Never let facts contradict pre-determined prejudices carried to absurd extremes.(sarcasm)

These are well groomed beards being allowed.

Makes me happy!
As a military man who had a medical exemption from shaving, I thought I'd have no hope of working at WDW after I retire. Now, I'll only have to be sure to always wear long sleeves to hide my tattoo.
Well, and retire....
And buy a place near WDW...

I hear Golden Oaks is nice :animwink:
As far as facial hair is concerned I think this is a step in the right direction.

Golden Oaks would most assuredly be in the mix... If I win the lottery. Of course, that would also make the wait for retirement shorter than the current 7 years! :lol:

As a former CM and avid beard wearer I say it's about time.
Nothing like being a 25-year-old who looked 15 because of being forced to shave.
And before you say 'well you could have worked someplace else,' I knew that going in and I excepted it, because I wanted to work there.
I never did understand the mustache only policy. That's hardly a good look on anyone.
Cheers!

I see nothing wrong either way. I like how Disney also cares about its employee's.
Also as times change so does style and dress code with ALL jobs. Light stubble has been in style for awhile now. Some may not like but others do.

One of the biggest issues I see is enforcement. When the Disney Look was no hair, a manager could make a decision easily if that person was in accordance with the look. They are either clean shaven or not.
Now, this falls into a very grey area. I may think my beard is full and lush while my boss thinks I look like a homeless person. Then, are managers going to carry a ruler and measure beards to ensure it is within the requirements?

Like other items for the Disney Look, there will be pictures that show what is and what is not allowed. So they won't have to just try and figure out exactly what will be considered acceptable or not.

I'm assuming that cast members will soon be issued more detailed guidelines with examples of what is acceptable and what isn't.

Not to sound like a Beard basher...I am not. My Dad has one ever since I was born, and I have had a fewmyself. Being said, I am sorry, but I just do not like it.
Disney sometimes will dumb down the guests meaning that Disney thinks the average everyday guest does not look at small details, sorry they do.
Point at hand, one of the earliest memories I have of WDW,( I was born same year in 71 that WDW opened) was noticing how the cast members looked. I remember asking my Grandmother once when I was about 7" Why do all the boys had short hair and looked alike?". Now I am not for cloning cast members, but thats what set Disney apart from other places.
Again, I am not saying a person is evil for having a beard, but I see nothing wrong with Disney keeping up strict grooming standards. So what, if the rest of the places in Orlando are lax, let them be, so Disney can offer a better product.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I am going to get bashed for being so old school.
