I found a few websites but they aren't what I was looking for. At this point I guess I'll have to get something where you write your info with a permanent marker and hope it doesn't smear after water rides. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

An excellent Disney planning guide suggests writing the child's name, your name, and your contact number on a sticker and then placing the sticker on the outside of their shirt along the side under their arm. Make sure the child knows where it is and that they should show it to any Disney Cast Member. . . show them the badges and costumes when you first get to the parks.

Pixie Glitter- i wouldn't have my kids' names on the ID bands, just my name and cell phone number. I think I like the idea of a sticky label inside their shirt.
