I thought that I would share my idea, I love it and use it all the time.
I take my son to the Department of Motor Vehicles and get him a state ID. Which lists his picture, adescription, name address, blah, blah, blah......I think that I only paid $5 for it. When we go on vacation I tape to the back a piece of paper listing where we are staying (POR), both mine and my DH cell phone numbers (in case one is out of range - two different providers) and an emergency number of another relative. My dad lives in Fl so when we are at WDW I use his number even though he lives 2 1/2 hours away he will still be reachable if something were to happen. I then stick it in my childs pocket and explain to him what to do if he gets lost. When we get to the park I point out very obviously a cast member while pointing out their name tag.
Thankfully, we have never had a problem and hopefully never will, but at least we have the provisions set up to try and make the best of a bad situation.
***For those whose states may not so such things, you could always take a current photo of child put it in a photo sized laminate card with the info on the back and stick it together.
Hope this helps, it is always scary being in a strange place and getting lost.
