[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow you bitchy parents blaming the parents for being on the lagoon beach are a piece of work, especially the ones from FL that claim EVERYONE should know better. If gators are such a threat, signs other than "no swimming" should have been posted warning people about the danger of alligators, even on the beach. Get back to us when you loose a child for not wearing a seat belt or diving in the shallow end, so we can blame you for your shitty parenting.[/quote]

I'm in Florida (a transplant) and I wouldn't have expected a gator in that water.  I do think that people need to pay attention to those signs.  Those signs aren't there to wreck people's fun, they are there for safety reasons.

It is quite possible that there is a pump or some such thing that could suck a small child right into it.  Or a very steep drop off.  Or snapping turtles.  Or harmful bacteria.  When it says no swimming - that really does mean no swimming.

But wading into the water up to your knees isn't really swimming.  It's wading.  I sort of doubt that the primary reason for those signs had anything to do with alligators.  I can see why someone would have felt safe wading out that deep.  I can also see why Disney wasn't cracking down on people wading in that water - they weren't anticipating an alligator attack either.  It was a freak thing.[/quote]
