[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: the discussion of possible lawsuits -- I'm curious whether surrounding resorts and attractions post alligator warnings?  If it is standard practice, it's going to look bad on Disney.

Also, surrounding [b]bystanders could claim emotional distress. [/b] I think it's reasonable to suffer distress from witnessing or being in close proximity to the immediate fall out of this event.  I've only read about it and am really upset thinking about it.  I imagine those who were there when it happened are suffering some sort of distress as well.[/quote]

I believe they have to show Disney [u]intended [/u]to cause them emotional distress. Heck, if all a bystander has to do is claim they were emotionally distressed by an event, everybody would eventually get paid at some point in life. [/quote]

It's less common, but there is a cause of action for negligent infliction of emotional distress.  I believe other guests would fall within those owed a certain duty of care by Disney.  [/quote]
