We have just a quickie post for today (oh my gosh...two posts in one month!!!). This is a Los Angeles Times article from the year 2000, about how the cast members at Disneyland were finally being allowed to have mustaches.
The ban on facial hair was established by Walt Disney in 1957. That's kind of funny, considering he himself had a mustache. "Do as I say, not as I do!"
I also think it's funny that by the time mustaches were finally allowed, the workers didn't even care since most of them didn't want to have JUST a mustache. "You'd look like one of the Village People"......HA, HA! I'm assuming the cast member who said that was fairly young, and I'm surprised he even knew who the Village People were! At least he got his wish for the company to start allowing goatees. Beards and goatees were finally allowed on cast members, starting in February of 2012. I wonder if that cast member was still working there, 12 years later? I know....it's highly unlikely!
