After fatal alligator attack, theme parks review policies

An awful story regarding that poor child. This is a good news article. I wondered how the worlds no.1 attraction for families can have beaches by those lakes and not even a sign warning about alligators. And to actually put those lakeside beaches by their hotels? Watch now how the multi-million dollar business goes into defensive overdrive with the support of local authorities.

If I am a parent with a small kid I would want to know that it is possible alligators could be in that lake. people know Florida is full of alligators, BUT at a Disney resort, a man made lake it could be very easy to think that this lake is protected from any kind of predator danger. I am 100% positive that if the parents knew it was possible an alligator could be in that lake that they would not have let their two year old child wade into the water.

Guaranteed, if they had alligator warning signs, they wouldn't even need to have any "no swimming" signs.

Excellent point. Disney were literally encouraging families to be on that lakeside beach. The shame is that a multi-million dollar enterprise will now pull down the shutters and go into PR overdrive. I guarantee you will get all the local authorities backing the resorts safety because it supports the local economy and local politicians. I could easily have travelled to that resort with my kids and have been playing by the lake without the local knowledge of alligators being everywhere.

It's Florida. Florida has gators everywhere. That's called common sense. They didn't have a gator warning sign because if you wanted gator signs in common gator areas, you'd see a sign every 5 feet. Smh signs for common sense are not useful. Poor boy, rip. -born Floridian

Tourists love to go Florida. not just alligators, snakes crawls into your hotel rooms if you leave screen door open alittle bit. Then frying insects. If you want to enjoy Disneyland, go to original Disneyland in Anaheim California. It does not have alligator.

Signage! Simple solution. Alligators do move from pond to pond and capture them all today, who knows tomorrow.

Then frying insects.

I don't think people are supposed to be cooking in their hotel rooms.

At any rate, this is Disney. People should be able to have a reasonable expectation that their kids are not going to be attacked by alligators in the 'Magical Kingdom'. They had umbrellas, chairs and were showing movies on the shores of that water that night that the toddlers was pulled into the water by the alligator. If Disney can prevent non-payers from getting into their theme parks, they can figure out a way to prevent alligators from getting into them as well.

No one cook frying insect, fryers and mosquitoes just follow when you order meal service.

Should have alligator warning beside no swimming sign.s
