Disneyland Lifts Ban on Beards
Soul patches, however, still won't be part of the official "Disney Look."

Under Disneyland's new dress code, employees can grow a beard -- but not one the length of Doc's or any of the other bearded Dwarfs

The happiest place on earth is about to get a little more hairy.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Disneyland is loosening its legendary dress code – the so-called Disney Look, which is known to be one of the strictest in the corporate world – to allow employees to grow more facial hair.
Previously, employees had been allowed to grow a mustache but, under the new guidelines that will go into place on Feb. 3, they will now also be able to grow a beard or a goatee as long as it’s shorter than a quarter of an inch. So six of the Seven Dwarfs are still out of luck. (Dopey is more or less hairless.)
The rules still forbid visible tattoos, body piercings anywhere except in the ears of a woman, "extreme" hairstyles and, thankfully, soul patches.
"While we are careful to maintain our heritage and the integrity of our brand, a recent review of our guidelines led to a decision that an update was appropriate at this time," Betsy Sanchez, a Disneyland Resorts spokeswoman, said in a statement.
The soul patch (also known as a mouche[1]) is a small patch of facial hair just below the lower lip and above the chin. It came to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s, when it was a style of facial hair common among African American men, most notably jazzmen.[2] It became popular with beatniks, artists, and those who frequented the jazz scene and moved in literary and artistic circles. Jazz trumpeters in particular preferred the soul patch for the comfort it provided when using a trumpet mouthpiece.[3]
