  What I object to is the idea that Disney doesn't value safety. As someone who grew up in Florida and has gone there since it opened, I don't find that to be true at all. Just look at their ride warning signs, which are certainly over cautious.

Other than River Country and some swimming at the Fort Wilderness campground on the neighboring Bay Lake  decades ago, I don't recall WDW pushing the lakes for swimming.  It has been a watersports lake. I've taken Jet Skis out on it (this would have been the 80s) and other boats. This is routine in Florida -- even at the picture some have posted about the neighboring resorts, the "No swimming -- alligators" sign is nestled among the canoes and other watercraft.

The idea that any Florida resort can bottle up nature is ridiculous.

Exactly. Disney even used to have a water park at the Fort Wilderness campground. They didn't close it because of alligators. There are watersports on the lakes. It is a man made beach at Grand Floridian. Kids go out there all the time to watch the fireworks there.[/quote]
