Thankfully I live far enough away I can give the team working on this a chance to get the show up and running and open to guests and will opt not to wait with "breathless abandon" every little minutia update from the fan boy networks.

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "I wonder what Disney's official policy on Disney Look would have to say about Steven Davison walking around with a nametag on and a goatee." I'm always a bit surprised by how unprofessional many of the Imagineers look when doing presentations or anything in front of the general public. Disney Look aside, these folks often look unfit for any kind of face time where they are representing a company like Disney.

It's one thing to allow them to have tattoos and such - otherwise you'd lose many artisans they'd need - but facial hair and some piercing which can simply be removed when in the parks and doing interviews or recorded pieces is simply not acceptable.
