Deciding today's "Did you know...?" to satx56, since I know he was at Disneyland earlier this week.
Did you know... Men with long hair used to be BANNED from Disneyland in the 1950's and 60's?
Why??
Spoiler
Disney wanted their park to look clean and wholesome (i.e. no hippies, beatniks, etc.)
LOL.. I wasn't born until late 1956, but I guess they never would have hired me, or let me in back then..
I remember a lot of companies had strict grooming standards for employees in the 1970s, and the 1980s. When I worked for a grocery store chain in my high school days in the mid 1970s, I always had to keep the length of my hair above the collar. I also worked the graveyard shift on the stocking crew for another grocery chain not long after I finished high school, and they didn't care what we looked like because we worked when the store was closed. Tough grooming standards probably still exist with some companies to this day.
When I first started college in 1964 we could not wear jeans. I got called out for wearing a pair of what was in style cord material trousers. Prof said they looked to much like jeans. Now kids were pajamas to college classes. Guess in another 40 years swim suits including T-Backs will be popular most anywhere.
I miss the days when people made more of an effort to look nice in public or when they go to work....but I also enjoy being able to go out in shorts and flip flops.
They still ban certain things..I read a woman wanted to wear a princess dress with her daughter to go to a character meal & they refused her admittance.
Didn't want people to think she was the Parks princess..
