June 15, 201610 yr Then Disney should not make these inviting sandy beaches at their resorts. Kids want to play in the sand and water at a beach. Make the natural habitat that is on the resort look like a natural habitat. Or parents should learn how to read, and not take their children in areas that are restricted...
June 15, 201610 yr Huge task but must be done. Disney has the money and resources. That resort is around $500 per night. People go to these resorts for a stress free, enjoyable safe haven. "Attack occurred at a sandy beach. Child was playing at the edge of the water when alligator attacked. The attack occurred at a portion of the Lagoon marked with "no swimming" signs." So---sandy beach area. "No swimming" sign. No swimming because of no lifeguard? Toddler splashing and playing at waters edge is quite different than "swimming". Disney hauls in beach sand to give guests the feel that they are vacationing on a beach. Usually lawn chairs and hammocks on these lagoon beaches for guests to enjoy. Tragic accident--but in this case, Disney is at fault. That's my opinion. No swimming means don't get in the water. Period. They broke the rules, tragedy strikes.
June 15, 201610 yr It really is not such a natural habitat, is it? Man made lake at Disney with man made sandy beaches and ginourmous man made "family" hotels right on the man made sandy beach on the man made lake. Oops---all manmade, but gators still there. The lakes are connected to other waterways. Unless you put chain link fences in these water ways, you cannot keep the gators out. So yes, it is natural habitat.
June 15, 201610 yr Don't make it so easy for adults to be stupid. With all respect Cats3x, THAT unfortunately will NEVER be solved.
June 15, 201610 yr Search has gone from rescue to recovery mode. So sad. It's going to be really sad when they make the recovery. I'm sure you can already guess where they will find the child and it's heartbreaking.
June 15, 201610 yr It's going to be really sad when they make the recovery. I'm sure you can already guess where they will find the child and it's heartbreaking. I can't even imagine. So how are they going about the recovery? Are they killing any alligator they find to see if he ate the kid, or would they be able to tell otherwise?
June 15, 201610 yr I can't even imagine. So how are they going about the recovery? Are they killing any alligator they find to see if he ate the kid, or would they be able to tell otherwise? I don't know how that part of it works but the only way to recover that child will be to open up the gator. I can't even imagine that horrific scene, but I'm afraid that's where the recovery will be made.
June 15, 201610 yr I'll be playing golf in Florida all next week. You better believe any ball in or near the water hazard will not be retrieved.
June 15, 201610 yr Why as a parent would you dangle your little kid like a piece of chicken in alligator alley?
June 15, 201610 yr I can't even imagine. So how are they going about the recovery? Are they killing any alligator they find to see if he ate the kid, or would they be able to tell otherwise? Yep. They've already caught and killed 4 gators that I am aware of; probably more by now. One by one, they will open them up until they find what they're looking for. Plenty more will take their place.
June 15, 201610 yr Why as a parent would you dangle your little kid like a piece of chicken in alligator alley? It would have helped if Disney had put signs up telling people why there was no swimming. No signs said alligators were there. And nobody dangled the child anywhere. Technically, they followed the rules. They weren't swimming!

Technically, they followed the rules. They weren't swimming! There were no signs warning about alligators? Surely they had signs about gators up didn't they?

Technically, they followed the rules. They weren't swimming! This is my point!!! "No Swimming". Why? Because there is no lifeguard on duty? Because of riptides? They WERE NOT swimming. And the were no warning signs about alligators.
