Apparently not, but where these kids got in there are signs! Parents, share the story with your children. Teen brains think they’re invincible and it won’t hapoen to them. [u]Sadly reminds me of the kid eaten by the alligator at Disney where signs everywhere not to wade in the water.[/u] Yet…[/quote]

I stayed at that actual Disney resort twice before that alligator attack.  Once years before and once a few months before.

There were no obvious visible signs about the alligators.

The  area was set up like an actual sand beach, withe a gentle, gradual beach like wading slope into the still water.  They had sand toys on the beach and childrens areas nearby.  The water taxis did not mention alligators.  The hotel staff at chevk in did not mention alligators.  The descriptions of the beach did not mention alligators.  It was advertised by Disney and the hotel as a beach, with no notable alligator warnings.

We walked along that beach with our kids.  The only reason we didn't allow them to wade in the water was that it was January and chilly.

Disneyworld created a beach that they advertised as a beach with beach activities and no real verbal or visible warnings about alligators.

Disney does not have bugs, bees or mosquitos. Of course its logical to assume they didn't have alligators in what looked exactly like a normal swimming/wading beach, especially since Disney did not highlight the alligator risk.

Disney was completely at fault, not the parents or child.[/quote]
