The Legacy of the Disney Look Carries on Today

Since the opening of the Disneyland® Park in 1955, Guests have come to know and treasure the elements that set Disney theme parks and resorts apart. One of these key elements is the traditional appearance and image of the Cast, better known as the Disney Look.

The Disney Look started with Walt Disney's idea that the "Cast Members" at Disneyland Park were to play an important role in bringing Guests into a fantasy world, and that the Cast would be a large part of the show. Walt had the vision that Cast Members would appear friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. The Disney Look guaranteed that the Cast did not distract from the show or become the show. Rather, these guidelines were put in place to maintain the consistency of the appearance of the Cast that the Guests have come to love and appreciate over the years.

As a Disney Professional Intern, most of you will be required to dress in the Disney Look for Non-Costumed Professionals. To maintain the Disney image of excellence, clothing should be classic in style, clean neatly pressed, and fit properly. Clothing should not appear too tight, short in length, faded, too baggy, or in need of repair. Overall your attire should appear polished in presence and support an image of excellence.
