[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know Florida has gators, but I wouldn't have assumed that they are everywhere in densely populated areas like in and around the Disney parks. I get it now, but I wouldn't have assumed that that they are there. And I would've assumed that they were NOT in a theme park. Stupid assumption, I guess, but I think it's a common one. I do think there should be signs indicating the possibility.

I do agree with PP that if this is the first instance in the whole history of the park, Disney probably does make an extensive effort to keep them out, but for whatever reason, that effort failed this time.[/quote]
Same here. Yes - I know Florida has gators but not so everywhere (similar to our deer and squirrels). I assume most people from the north would think the same thing.[/quote]

I'm similar.  I'm from NoVA and I would not think they are potentially eh.va.ry.where.  I had not heard this.  I had also never heard anything about fresh water vs salt, hunting at night, etc.  Heck, for all I know, the Florida Gators are called that b/c Florida used to be a home of gators, but they are now practically extinct.  Who knows?  I really did not know.  I've never been to Disney and I have only been to Florida one time -- to Siesta Key at Thanksgiving time just for the Thanksgiving weekend.  This is not a topic on my radar screen.  I have no relatives or friends from there.  We are the southern-most family members in our extended family; everybody else lives up North and they consider US the "southerners!"  So basically, I am 100% an alligator-ignoramus!  [/quote]
