A British airline recently allowed Muslim stewardesses to wear headscarf and other expressions of the politico-relgious ideology of peace and freedom. Some time later, a christian stewardess was commanded to no longer wear a cross around her neck - it would be offensive to Muslims and represents an illegal expression of her religious attitude even if she wears it under her visible cloathings, hidden from everybody.
I also recommend to research and read a bit on western female crew members of western airlines landing in Saudi Arabia and how they get discriminated when going to, staying and and returning from their hotel.
In that country you are not even allowed to have a bible in your own suitcase for your own use, even when you are a christian Westerner and get it out only when you are all alone.
Now compare that to that hostess in Disneyland that insists on messing up the visual appearance of the Disneyland theme. It's not that she is being asked to do something spectacular or outstanding, or to make a joke of herself. she is just being told that she please should exactly not doing this: not to stand out from the visual theme.
Disney featured several figures like dogs and pigs that are considered as "unclean" in islam. Should they be left out, is that the next demand in order to make Disneyland complying to Islamic world order and not discirminating muslims?
