Lifting of Disneyland beard ban imposed in 1955 welcomed as ‘long overdue’
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has welcomed the final lifting of a ban on beards for employees at Disneyland, but said it is long overdue.
Disneyland is set to re-open on April 30th following a year of COVID-19 restrictions
For well over 60 years Disneyland has had a series of petty and absurd rules on how their employees can dress and appear. These have gradually been scrapped in recent years with the beard ban amongst the last to go.
The campaigners say that the requirement for beards to be ‘neat and tidy’ in public facing roles is fair enough.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Disneyland has had significant issues with diversity and inclusion but this is a step in the right direction at last.
