What is up everyone? It’s been a couple of days since I posted anything. I was off playing Where in the World Showcase is My Brain? (aka cleaning out my closet).

As you can tell by the title of this post, we are talking about the Disney Look that everyone keeps talking about.

The Disney Look? What is that?

I’m glad you asked! The Disney Look is…well in simple terms the set of standards of which Disney has for their CMs. Let’s start from top to bottom.

Hair. Your hair has to be clean cut. No wild colors: green, purple. No colors you would see at a gender reveal party (aka pink or blue). Basically if your hair color isn’t a color that can naturally grown out of your head, it needs to go. Your hair can’t partially shaven. Streaks/highlights or ombre hair, has to all be one natural looking hair color. Roots can’t be showing. No uneven haircuts. No mohawks. Basically nothing experimental haircuts

Guys, your facial hair game has to be on point! All even. If you have that mustache/beard combo it MUST connect together (we’re all in this together, and it shows, when we stand hand in hand, make our dreams come true). Nothing too overly bushy (you don’t want to giving off them Santa vibes). More on the 5 ‘o’ clock shadow look. Lastly you can have a shaven, clean cut look.

Guys: your beard/mustache is patchy or uneven/messy. You will be asked to go shave or come back when it’s more clean cut. Ladies, if your hair doesn’t look natural or still has highlights in them, you will be asked to come back when its more consistent.

Face. You have to have a natural looking face. With that being said, your make up has to look natural. It has to compliment your face. No colorful eye shadow. Eye shadow can’t extend up to the eye brows. Nothing like that. It basically has to match your face. Make up as to be blended.

Eye wear. If your role is an outdoor role (like I was in parking attendant), you are allowed to wear sunglasses. But you have to be able to see your eyes. Your sunglasses can’t be completely blacken out. If you wear glasses (like me), your glasses can only be black, brown, or metal rimmed. It has to be solid colored and can’t have any brands on them.

Piercings. Oh boy. Women can only have the traditional ear studs, one on each ear. So no multiple earrings on each ear. No nose, eye brow, tongue, or gauge/spacers of any kind. All of that needs to removed. Guys can’t have any piercings of any kind (from what I seen guys can have studs but I would check with your leaders just in case. But I would take them off anyway. Better safe than sorry!)

Tattoos. Tattoos are tricky. Yes, you can have tattoos, BUT they need to be covered up. YOU NEED TO BE UP FRONT ABOUT YOUR TATTOOS. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TRY TO HIDE THEM. On Traditions (more on that in a later post), you need to tell the leaders that you have tattoos and how you hid them. Some people can get away with putting on the normal costumes (the tattoos are on the upper arms, shoulders, back, and upper thighs). Some wear longer pants/skirts and sleeves (the tattoos are on the lower arms and legs). People with just wrist tattoos can get away with covering up the tattoos with make up as long as it matches your skin tone. Your leaders will call you out if you try to lie about your tattoos. Honesty is the best policy…I stated that in my “How to Apply for the Disney College Program” post. Go read that if you haven’t already.

Nail polish/hands. If you are in a food role (Quick/Full Service Food & Beverage, and certain merchandise roles, peep my interviews with both Rachels for more information on that), you cannot have nail polish at all. The only thing you can have is a ring band with no gems. Basically if your role has you handle food on the daily: no nail polish or rings with gems. All other roles you can have a ring on your ring finger. Your nail polish has to be clear or match your skin tone. No colors or designs. No painting them like one of french girls, Jack (no french tips). No dirty fingernails. No *toy aliens voice from Toy Story* the claaaww fingernails (no super long acrylic nails that look like cat claws).

Clothes (general). Be sure to keep you clothes classy. Business casual. Iron/steam out your clothes. Don’t show up to Traditions in clothes that look like they’ve been slept in. No wrinkly clothes. Form fitting. Nothing too tight or too loose. No wild prints or patterns. Make sure your clothes are free of any stains. Keep it clean. Keep it classy. Keep it professional. Keep the club clothes at home.

Clothes (guys). No t shirts. Plaid shirts are okay. Khakis (Jake from State Farm approved). Slacks. Polo shirts. A nice dress shirt and pants are best.

Clothes (girls). No short skirts or dresses. Nothing too revealing. No spaghetti straps. Nothing strapless. Straps need to be thicc (you have to able to fit 3 fingers on the strap, 4 if you have smaller hands like I do). The closer to the shoulder the better. Your best bet is something with sleeves. If you think the straps won’t be long enough, you can always bring a nice jacket or cardigan just in case. Girls are allow to wear pants, but make sure their business slacks or those business suit type pants.

Shoes. No tennis/running shoes. No open toed shoes. Dress shoes. Girls, as a heads up, in Traditions and a lot of your orientations, there’s gonna be a lot of walking around. If you’re someone like me and you’re not used to walking in heels, please bring flats. I’m not gonna stop you if you want to wear heels. If you slay in heels and love them, more power to you. But you will be doing a good amount of walking. So if you think you can handle that, more power to you. You do you boo. I’m just warning you now.

I hope this clears up any confusion about the Disney Look. I know it can be daunting with all the rules. If you have any more questions about the Disney Look. Please leave it down in the comments. I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I can.
