[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the PP but maybe because it says "on the beach" at the bottom [/quote]

And a couple exits down it says "Welcome to Hogwarts" at Universal. You get my drift?[/quote]

Actually on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 7PM the calendar lists "Campfire and Marshmallows [b]on the beach[/b]."

Perhaps those arguing whether or not these are beaches, could let Disney know they are spreading misinformation.

It's apparently a huge deal.[/quote]

Are we talking about the same place? Pretty sure resorts exaggerate locale. Orlando is filled with resorts and resort style dining. Rainforest Cafe isn't really a rainforest nor a cafe'?! Get out of town![/quote]

What exactly does your opinion on whether or not these classify as beaches have to do with the fact that a 2 year old boy is dead?  The family was using the area as it is intended to be used.  Whether it's a beach, a sandy play place.. whatever.  They were doing what people do while there.

I disagree with you. Classifying it as a beach means s lot. It gives people a false sense of security thinking they should play in the water (because alligators don't live at the beach) and then Disney contradicts that very preface by warning people not to swim. again I don't think it's anyone's fault and with all the best signage in the world the same thing could have happened.

Wrong.

If disney had posted signs warning about gators in the water throughout the resorts and parks, this would not have happened...because nobody in their right mind would let their child go near water if a sign with a gator warning was posted. Heck, nobody would let their kid on that beach if gator signs were posted.

Another child was attacked by a gator in 1986 while standing on the shore near water (not in water) at disney wilderness resort. That certainly should have warranted signs being posted everywhere...just like the gator warning signs at other non-disney resorts. Social media wasn't a thing in the 80s, so nobody remembers that story (but you can google it now and see pics of disney characters visited that victim in the hospital).

Disney's dirty little secret is out: they have gators all over the property--including inside the gates of the actual amusement parks...go read the multiple threads on this in the DisBoards to hear how common it is to see gators. Go read the stories about how parents have recently rescued their kids from gators approaching out of nowhere on land.

I don't know about you, but my youngest kids would be absolutekg terrified if they saw a live gator in public. A zoo is one thing. But randomly popping up on a walking trail (as they do at disney wilderness resort) or on a beach near loung chairs? Or on Tom Sawyer island inside MK? Or as they look out the hotel room window?
