Disney Memo: Beards, Goatees Now OK for Male Park Staff After almost 60 years of clean-shaven staff members, Disney parks will now allow employees to sport well-groomed facial hair TAO Images Limited / Getty Images The "Disney Look" is getting an update. Come Feb. 3, male costumed staff members will be able to wear facial hair to work, and non-costumed staff members can partake in casual Fridays, according to a memo published by Disney news blog Inside the Magic. Though employees have been able to sport a "stache since 2000, the park took another decade to accept goatees and beards, the Orlando Sentinel reports. According to the Sentinel, dress-code changes at Disney occur only after years of consideration, including reviews of Fortune 500 companies. Female employees weren't allowed to work in a skirt with bare legs until just two years ago.

I think that people can have facial hair and still be beautiful, clean-cut and wholesome. But not everyone agrees with the newfound facial freedom. "You're having people going, "Yahoo! Cool!," and you're going to have the traditional Disney workers - who have their own supply of pixie dust - that doubt Walt would approve," Donna-Lynne Dalton, a Teamsters Local 385 union spokeswoman, told the Associated Press. The memo mentioned some restrictions: beard hair can be no longer than a quarter of an inch long, and "extreme styles are prohibited." That means the Seven Dwarfs probably have to buy razors.
