[quote=Anonymous]Most of you have no idea what Florida is like. Florida is fairly well inhabited by alligators and the occasional crocodile. They are pretty common throughout the state, although they tend to shy away from highly inhabited areas. They do gravitate towards the many natural and manmade bodies of water. You can't eliminate all of them. Disney property is 43 sq miles. in an irregular pattern. It would be virtually impossible to cordone off the entire property and maintain a perimeter. To put things in perspective, Bethesda is 13.2 sq miles. So DisneyWorld is over 3 times the size of Bethesda. Arlington is 26 sq miles. Washington DC is 61 sq miles, so Disney is about 3/4 the size of DC. That's a pretty darn big area to maintain a perimeter and even if you did build a huge fence, it could take you months to try and sweep the area to clear the area of alligators. This normally doesn't happen because alligators tend to stay away from groups of humans. [/quote]
