If I want to see tattooed/pierced people I’ll go to a traveling carnival…I don’t go to traveling carnivals. Tattoos and piercing are not in keeping with the cast’s costumes nor the theming of the lands and experiences throughout any of theDisney parks.
“The Disney Look” and the strict adherence it, is what placed Disney parks and stores Cast Members in a league of their own. They were once the elite employees of the theme park and family leisure industry. The erosion of the vigour in which the look was upheld has just been another notch on the ever increasing list of Disney’s declining standards.
Aspiring Cast Members and new entrants to the parks are all made aware of Disney’s grooming guidelines from the very outset. They form a condition of the Cast Member’s employee contract. If a Cast Member can’t appreciate the Traditions of the company and the legacy it represents, then they are not suited for that work and should consider working elsewhere.
The lands are supposed to be fully immersive. When you walk down Main Street USA you can suspend your disbelief and feel and believe, for that moment in time, that you are in 1905. The last thing you want to see, is an employee in a turn of the century inspired costume, ruining the look and subsequently the magic for many guests who yearn for and cherish that brief interlude of escapism that Disney once genuinely offered.
If certain Cast Members want hideous piercings and visible tattoos, then a job at Six Flags and the like is more likely to be up their street.
It’s the “Look at me movement.” People nowadays have a very low self esteem so they want to stand out and make themselves look relevant. They think ugly tattoos and piercings might help them. I’m sure CEO Bob will be ok with it. He’s destroyed everything else that made Disney magical.
When I was in Disneyland in June I did NOT like seeing the tattoos and also a male cast member wearing a skirt. I know that DL and WDW needs employees, but the clean cut look was a part of working there.
Standards, what are those? I wonder how far this bar will end up get pushed? Maybe they’ll let big door knocker nose rings (if it’s allowed for some why not all) and all kinds of distracting facial piercings? Faces absolutely full of metal. Why stop there face tattoos! Don’t discriminate. Get weird with it, cast a Tinkerbell with a tattoo of a badass scorpion on her neck.
No!! Ditto to what Charlie and others have said. The tattoos and piercings we saw this spring at WDW were very disappointing. And the waiter in a dress?! Ugh. WDW used to be so sweet and clean and was a place to which we could escape the modern world. Nope…not anymore. They dragged the negatives of modern society right on in the front door and put it on display.
No I don’t think they should allow a nose piercing. They have lowered their standards as far as appearance. It’s not the same wholesome park as it used to be. What happened to Walts vision of being a place where you could take your family and have a family day? That is gone now it’s nothing but a political statement. So sad to see how far the standards have fallen. I truly don’t care what people do in their own private lives but myself I don’t want to be waited on by a gentleman in a dress.
Absolutely not! Want that garbage then don’t work for Disney. Boy Are the standards dropping like flies, the new owners don’t deserve to hold that name if freakin snow white is flashing a whole sleeve tat and nose ring.. disgusting!

No, please no. I already cringe seeing all the tattoos on CM’s, that’s already bad enough.

Was there in early August and some, not all look like inmates.

As a former cast member, I loved to look my best for our dear guests. We stood out from people on the street💖

Nose piercings make it look like you have a booger stuck on there that needs to be wiped off.

I say no. If you want tattoos and piercings work somewhere else please.
