Disneyland Pipes

Living in the Orange County area and having an annual pass to Disneyland means the fiancee is dragging me along frequently. But today, as I was walking through "Main Street" I remembered reading once that there used to be a tobacconist inside Disneyland on Main Street. Well, I thought it would be fun to pay a little tribute and take a photo of what used to be the shop. Today, it's a music shop which has some really great vinyls of soundtracks. But I stopped my fiancee and asked her to snap a photo of me of the Native American statue that is really the only remaining symbol of the tobacconist.

<<Up until the late 1960s, long-haired male visitors to Disneyland were stopped at the park gates by cast members who politely informed the hirsute guests that they did not meet the standards of Disneyland’s (“unwritten”) dress code and therefore would not be allowed to enter the park.
Disneyland’s appearance code for employees, instituted in the 1950s, prohibited male cast members from sporting mustaches, beards, or long hair. Back when the code was implemented, facial hair was perceived as conveying a negative image to many Americans, who associated beards and mustaches on young men with beatniks, un-American activities, and — in the 1960s — hippies. Disney’s philosophy was that customers preferred park workers to be wholesome and well-scrubbed, and some of the same appearance restrictions they placed on their employees were applied to other park guests as well. (For example, Jim McGuinn, future founder of the Byrds, was turned away from Disneyland in 1964 merely for sporting a Beatle cut, and at one point women wearing halter tops were also prohibited from entering the park.)
Disneyland’s “no long hair” policy for male guests was not instituted as a reaction to the “yippie invasion” that forced the park to close early one day in 1970. In fact, the opposite was true: the only reason the long-haired “yippies” were allowed in the park that day in the first place was because the restriction had already been relaxed.
Faced with manpower shortages at their American theme parks, in early 2000 Disney modified their policy to allow male cast members to sport neatly-trimmed moustaches.>>

Disney did not shy away from pipe smoking in his films:
<<His favourite brand of cigarettes was Lucky Strike, and he also smoked a pipe.>>
