hmmm... interesting... i would have thought the reverse. it's somewhat misleading, as it might imply that "private" information can easily be read by a third party, when that's not necessarily true.

being a bit of a "geek talent" myself, i did a "view source" on one of their secure (https) pages, and found a whole bunch of "http" references (like links to other pages on the site - news, calendar, etc.). that isn't a problem, but the web browser doesn't *know* that it's not a problem. you would think it should...

the important part is that it says the *page* is encrypted, and only contains *some* unencrypted information. being a Disney site, i would expect them to make sure that at least the important/private information is encrypted (like login/password).
