[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP but rather that installing gator warnings they should put permanent barriers preventing anyone from getting into that lagoon as previous posters already suggested - why have this artificial zero depth entrance that no one is supposed to use? Apart from the beaches at Grand Floridian, Polinesian and Contemporary I haven't seen similar easy water access in other harboring places (are there any others?)

Maintaining those open "beach-like" water entries after the gators became in issue was tge real mistake IMHO. You can still potentially  fall into the lagoon after climbing the barrier wall - but this is a different matter. [/quote]

I think Disney needs to and will redesign the beaches -- I've seen sandy areas that do not connect directly to water in other places, they can still have a beach atmosphere without allowing children or adults to go down directly to the water.  The area will need to be significantly redesigned, if not closed outright.  By adding a rocky barrier, that may be sufficient.  Disney needs to change the area somehow.[/quote]

I agree with this point too. Having the beach like water entrance is sort of an invitation, not to swim, but that it's ok to wade and have your feet there and for kids to gather water there. If this was a danger zone, it should have been designed differently and not necessarily called a "beach".[/quote]
