I am not surprised to learn that there are aligators at Disney, as it is in Florida and my understanding is they can turn up just about anywhere- however, I was not aware specifically that they are indeed at the resort.

What troubles me is that they would plan events like the movie and the water parade on the beach at night, when they know for sure they have gators and that they feed at night. I also think it is reprehensible that they would not have signs posted indicating this danger.

I have seen wildlife programs where they show aligators jumping and lunging several feet onto the shore to grab large prey, and episodes of rescue 911 type shows where people who were not in the water but only walking near the shores of canals/lagoons have been pulled in. So, in in my opinion, no one should be within 5 feet of the water, and Disney should not be setting up beach chairs and making the illusion of a beach where one would swim.

The family showed poor judgement in disregarding the no swimming signs, and poor water safety by letting the 2 yo be so far away. However, I think Disney is negligent for encouraging people to spend time in proximity to the water where and for not posting about the alligators. As we have learned here in this thread MANY people believed that aligators in the water of a Disney resort were impossible, so onus on Disney to educate their ignorant non Florida resident guests.

And the lady who keeps going on about how all the witnesses will sue, litigious much? That's crazy and greedy to try and exploit someone else's loss for personal gain... Who does that? [/quote]
