Take a Look at the Updates To Cast Member Dress Code Policies
If you were following along with MickeyBlog you’ll know that Disney has taken some time over the COVID-19 shutdown to give their policies a bit of a rethink when it comes to everything from annual passes to dress codes. With that in mind, Disney has recently updated their dress code polices and for the first time small tattoos are now permissible as well as other changes including gender-inclusive hairstyles, jewelry, nail styles and costume choices.
We’ve seen what some of these changes consist of and are excited to share them with you!
- Cast members will be allowed to wear head coverings for religious purposes. However, they must be solid black, white or a color that coordinates with cast member uniforms.
- The shaving of lines or shapes in facial hair is now permitted provided that facial hair is well maintained and the designs are not offensive in any way.
- Nail polish can be worn but the color must be the same across all fingers. Decals or charms are not permitted nor are nails that extend beyond 1/4 inch.
- Hair and make-up must STILL be in natural and neutral colors.
- Hair accessories can be worn like headbands, bows and hair-ties but they must be in neutral colors and match the cast member’s uniform.
- As you can see from the image above, tattoos are permitted but they must be small. Tattoos can not be any larger than a cast members hand when fully extended. Tattoos cannot be placed on the head, face or neck. Tattoo sleeves to conceal larger tattoos are permitted. Tattoos with offensive imagery or nudity will not be accepted.
- Any piercings other than ears are not permitting nor are brands or body modifications.
- Jewelry can be worn. However, it must be modest. This includes only one ring on each finger. Earrings cannot be longer than 2 inches.
We’re glad to see Disney’s cast member policies get a bit of an upgrade. We’ve merely skimmed the surface of some of the changes you may see in the months ahead. In addition, Disney advised in a release earlier today that they are also looking to update other policies including the ways that cast members show up for work.
The aim is to provide greater flexibility when it comes to personal expressive, gender-inclusivity, hairstyles, jewelry, nail styles and costume choices. Disney said , “We’re updating them to not only remain relevant in today’s workplace, but also enable our cast members to better express their cultures and individuality at work.
Disney said that moving forward they hope that their Cast Members, known worldwide for their customer service will have even more options for personal expression. This will in-turn create richer, more personal and engaging experiences!
