Peter's right though, there is no reason for anybody to have your ID card. It's like a passport, I'll show it, but I won't give it.

Peter the headsets and hand held device that Disney has is state of the art, it gives all of this, that is easier than carrying around a map, etc. it gives this information on it.
Again, I used it, Karl Smith has used it, and others that were on the call last night that has been in Disney, even Jewel (Amber) was recently at Disney prior to Convention, she is on our talk list, and used it also while there in the park.  So these things are working and doing the duties.
In fact, much of the stuff that is being used at Disney is also be looked at by the other parks throughout the US and the world, at what Disney does.

> several areas of the free-running areas populated with African Animals.
> Since this type of ride vehicle has floorspace your dog can accompany you on

> Another variation of this ride is similar to Sorin at Disney World and

> this type of ride vehicle hence the need to have someone watch the dog while
