[quote=Anonymous]I went to college in Tampa and my apartment complex(es) all had manmade lakes/ponds and all had gators in some capacity.
My junior and senior years of college, we looked over the smaller-than-a-lake,larger-than-a-pond and there was a picnic table and community grill maybe five feet from the waters edge. People are so used to the ideas of the gators in Florida, it is absolutely commonplace to entertain immediately next to the water, as long as you aren't in it. I've seen pavillions right next/on top of he hillsborough river for picnics, parties, and company outings.

I post this, not to say (shocking!) Florida has gators, but in response to all the people that wonder why Disney would encourage people to come down to the beach area but not want them in the water. If when I was walking the dog, we saw a gator sunning itsself (and they're not usually looking for food then) we'd just turn the other direction.

I agree the signage could have been more detailed about the dangers, but I think this was just a horrible tragic accident. Those poor parents.[/quote]
