[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any of the Disney vacation travel books (brand or not) mention snakes or alligators? Do Florida travel guides? Just curious if one was researching Disney or travel to Orlando if mention of alligators or snakes be in any travel guides.[/quote]

Snakes come up pretty often on Intercot and the Dis boards.  Last year a kid ended up hospitalized because he was playing with a venomous snake at his Disney resort and it bit him.

Alligators don't really come up too often. There's never been an attack and Disney has been very reassuring to guests that they remove alligators when they find them. [/quote]

But they don't remove them. And there was an attack in the 80s. Reports coming out now of recent alligator sightings on property and Disney didn't do anything. [/quote]

I feel like people have tried to make this point but it has been more implied than explicitly stated.

If Disney was able to wave a magic wand today that eliminated every alligator from their property there would still be alligators there tomorrow. Disney is actually incapable of micromanaging nature, despite their ability to micromanage virtually everything else. [/quote]

But it's a man-made lagoon and beach. So they created it, thereby inviting the danger. They can't argue, "hey, we can't control nature" when they created the habitat for the gator to live in. [/quote]

In Florida you cannot control where the gators go - man made or natural lake... They are notoriously territorial and will invade manmade spaces. It would be like trying to remove all of our squirrels from forests or new home builds... Aint gonna happen.[/quote]
