[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"If the lagoon is this dangerous, Disney shouldn't have a beach there"

The resorts have been operating around this lagoon for almost half a century and it has grown into the most popular tourist destination in the world. In 45 years, there has not been a single alligator attack until now.

From a statistical standpoint, you'd have a difficult time arguing that the beaches are "this dangerous."[/quote]

Alligators were also hunted and endangered so it's only relatively recently that they have been proliferating.  Disney warned people not to "swim" in the water because it has a steep drop off and and deep water (that's what the signs say).  Not because an alligator could grab a child standing in a couple inches of water.  You want to run a resort in FL and invite people to hang out on your beach, then take the time to inform them about Florida wildlife and what Disney can and can't do to minimize the risk (they stated that they relocate alligators above a certain size, if they can see and find them)[/quote]
