Where can you find these in the parks? I want to get one for Allison and put some tape with our info on the back in case she gets lost.

I saw them around at several places. I would caution you, though. It isn't a good idea to display a child's name on their clothing. A possible scenario is a person posing as a CM with a GOH badge (old style that looked a lot like the CMs) calling her by name and then asking her to, say, help with the parade and off they go. I know that sounds very cynical, but these days, no matter where you are, you can't be too safe.

I got my DDs dogtags (military type) in their favorite colors with their name, DH and my names, our CELL numbers, and our home number. On the back, I put a label with our resort and resort phone. They wore these under their clothes and were instructed to show them only to CMs (we reviewed what their badges look like) if they were every lost. We also went over that CMs usually stand still with the child for a few minutes looking for parents to backtrack and don't walk off right away. They will also usually call for backup.

I wanted sooooo badly to get my kids the Badge of Honor for them to wear while we were in the parks. But I have the same reservations as Dawn --- I've heard of several ideas for emergency identification, and I really like the dog tag idea! One that I thought was particularly fun was writing on the kids stomachs with a sharpie

I've bought one for myself (I admit I want the attention) and one for my youngest. I wrote my name and cell number on the back just in case anything happens

They have them in several places, but I know of 3 where you can have them personalized. In the Magic Kingdom, it is a store on the right side of Main Street as you enter the park. It is the same store that sells the watches, jewelry, and has the snowglobes. In MGM, it is a store on Hollywood Blvd on the right side as you enter the park. It might be Celebrity 5 & 10. It is the same store where they can embroider the mouse ears, etc. In Downtown Disney, it tis the Disney Days of Christmas shop. Sorry I can't remember the exact names of the shops, but I am at work and can't look anything up. We had ours done in the MGM shop and it took about an hour. Hope this helps you!

According to the sticker that is on the Disney Name Badge that I just bought, you can get them engraved for free at the following locations: Uptown Jewelers at MK; Celebrity 5&10 at MGM; and Days of Christmas at Downtown Disney(Marketplace).

I just bought 17 of them(through Laughingplace.com )so I paid a little more per badge. The badges are $6.

BTW, if anyone wants to look into dogtags, www.gotags.com is where we got ours!

We bought badges for our boys, but they didn't wear them in the parks.

I ordered ours ahead of time, and had them delivered to the resort that we were staying at. My wife wore hers everywhere, I wore mine sometimes, and my DD had little interest in hers. She probably only wore hers twice.
we had no trouble letting her wear hers in the parks, but she didn't want to lose it.

Does anyone have a photo of what the badges look like?

[imabusy]

You can see them at Laughingplace.com. Just put in badges in the search box and they will come up. They are so cute. Can't wait to get one for my daughter.

We always get Passporter badges to wear in the parks but I seem to have a terrible habit of losing mine. The Guest of Honor ones sound like fun so I think I'll try buying two of those for my mom and I for our upcoming trip. Maybe I'll have better luck with this one and I won't lose it before the trip is over.

You can also see the Guest of Honor badges at www.giftsofalifetime.com. Scroll down and click on Personal Disney Shopper, then scroll down until you see the GOH pictures. You can select different styles/colors. At the Christmas Store in Downtown Disney, we could only get red badges when we visited in January, but they were less expensive than buying online.

My DD's from our last trip. My wife got SOOO much attention it was unreal!!

[Wild4Diz]

I just received two badges that I purchased from Gifts of a Lifetime and they are great. I had ordered them for our 2002 trip and I wanted new ones for this trip. They have a pretty big variety. The badges are even better than they used to be - now you can make them a pin, a keychain or a magnet - it comes with all the different ways to make it the way you want. They only took about a week and half to arrive as well, but they are much more expensive than in WDW and you have to pay shipping. I love having them before I arrive though !
