In other suits, Florida laws have been interpreted that [b]property owners are not responsible for wild animal attacks[/b] unless they kept them as pets.

Also, from an earlier article posted, when it comes to alligator attacks, courts in Florida have held that a swimmer's disregard of "No Swimming" and other warning signs were the sole cause of the serious injuries.

So, actually , it looks like little legal liability for Disney. [/quote]

That's definitely interesting, but who were the property owners in those suits? As mentioned a number of times in this thread, Disney has a much higher duty to its guests than, say, a private landowner. Additionally it's very likely a factor that Disney created the lagoons (very likely an "attractive nuisance" in this case under the law) and encouraged people to engage in activities near the water. There is probably plenty of applicable case law, but the facts would need to mirror these pretty closely for it to be applicable. [/quote]
