The reason I ask is that I think I saw one standing by a pair of strollers, as if she was waiting for the parents who had taken their kids inside an attraction to come back out. Between knowing all about the attractions, park layout, and dining options, and preventing a stroller or its contents from being taken, having a dedicated tour guide might be quite useful to parents with young kids that didn't know the park very well and didn't mind paying for the privilege. It hadn't occurred to me in this way until yesterday.

A bit pricey, but for those of us who are famous enough, most definitely worth it.
