If they are allowed in the Lot, but not elsewhere, is the Lot now separate from the other Attractions areas inside the park?

Originally Posted By USCSurfer Definitely not offensive, but a real no-no for a very long time. I remember my fellow male CMs being sent backstage to shave for even the most minimal stubble. Interesting. Thanks.
Originally Posted By melekalikimaka I didn't think you found it offensive, USC. (Just clarifying!) ;-) It's just kind of funny that it took so long to be allowed.

CMs will get in trouble even if they wear white socks and they will be forced to change there socks. Who really cares what color your socks are? As for the facial hair, At Universal, Men are allowed to have beards as long as they are well kept. I don't think having a beard is unprofessional looking, so I think disney should allow it, as long as it's well kept.
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I liked it when ALL the men and women had to wear thier shirts TUCKED in PROPERLY and have thier pants pulled up PROPERLY. CM's took pried in themselves back when. I have seen alot of "food's & Sweepers" CM's looking disheveld and sloppy. Not all of them. In fact I have seen just as many "Food's & Sweeper" CM's look sharp in thier uniforms. But, some seem to just not care about thier appearance, or think it look's 'cool' to have thier pants hangin down to thier knees with thier shirts semi hanging out.

Originally Posted By USCSurfer I agree, Mele. And knew what ya meant. I too am surprised it took so long to modify that rule. Personally I've always preferred the clean cut look for myself, and really had no problem with it at Disneyland. I agree that it's not that big of a deal as long as the facial hair is neatly kept. I forgot about the black socks, Mr. F!
