I honestly can't wait. Keep getting emails about Disney guidelines about the "Disney Look." Also keep hearing extra emphasis on sticking to this guideline, or you can be sent home. D:
So, um... Add 1 more thing of "making my list and checking it twice."
The guidelines are pretty stringent:

(Here is what the shortened version looks like, but there is much MUCH more.)
The Disney Look Guidelines upon ArrivalPlease keep in mind that it is expected that you are in complete compliance with all of the Disney Look guidelines when you check-in. This includes, but is not limited to: * Removing all body piercings (including cartilage piercings and tongue rings). * Covering all visible tattoos. * Hair Colors and Styles. |  |
| Male Hair Styles Males must be clean shaven and fully within the guidelines regarding facial hair. | |
If you do not meet these requirements, you will not be permitted to obtain your housing ID.
Tattoos and Body ModificationDuring your interview, your recruiter discussed with you our company policies regarding tattoos and body modification. Tattoos: If you have tattoos that will not be covered by your costume (on your hand, wrist, neck, etc.), you will need to cover them with make-up designed for tattoo coverage (Dermablend, Covermark, etc.) by the time you arrive. |  |
Only small tattoos (2"x2" or 5cm x 5cm) may be covered with make-up; please contact your recruiter if you have a large, visible tattoo that may not be covered by your costume or make-up.
Note: Make-up is not permitted to cover tattoos on the lower arms for Cast Members in Food & Beverage locations.
Failure to cover visible tattoos may result in disciplinary action, not excluding termination.
Body Modifications:
Our company also has strict guidelines about body modification. If you have any visible body modifications (including ear spacings), they will need to be completely healed and/or corrected before you arrive.
If you arrive with visible modifications, or if your ears are spaced, you will be immediately sent home.
Guidelines for Roles Associated with Food & Beverage
In order to maintain a safe and healthy environment and comply with Florida state-mandated regulatory food standards, all Cast Members hired to work in any Merchandise or Food & Beverage establishment that prepares and/or serves food and beverage, regardless of role, are required to:
* Keep fingernails trimmed and filed (not extended beyond the tip of the finger).
* Not wear fingernail polish and/or artificial nails.
* Not wear jewelry on arms or hands, including wristwatches and medical information jewelry. The exception is a plain (commitment/wedding) ring, without stones, engravings, raised designs or jagged edges. Acceptable options for medical jewelry include necklaces and ankle bracelets worn under costumes.
