June 15, 201610 yr I usually don't post in threads like this but I don't see Disney being responsible. If we go driving around the LBL and hit a deer we don't blame the LBL. The deer are in their natural habitat just like the gators in Florida As far as the natural habitat of you have a body of water in Florida there is a good chance that gators will be in it. Build a pond or lake in KY and snakes, turtles, and fish will end up in there.
June 15, 201610 yr Irrelevant to this situation, because the kid was in the water. But to play along, that still isn't the parks fault. Are they really supposed to keep all Florida wildlife off ALL their properties? That's literally impossible. If a kid gets stung by a bee in Disney World and dies, is it Disney's fault? Not necessarily irrelevant. The sign says "no swimming". The sign does not say "Do not step on our beautiful manmade beach (with a lifeguard nearby) because there are gators lurking at 1 foot depth".
June 15, 201610 yr We stayed at riverside. Very nice. We had the all inclusive and could not eat all the meals we had. BYOB or be prepared to pay about $6 for a 16 ounce Miller. No alcohol at any parks except Epcot. It was a business trip for my wife and I as we made it all about our kids. Buy some good walking shoes and expect to be wore out each day, especially if you have kids
June 15, 201610 yr Not necessarily irrelevant. The sign says "no swimming". The sign does not say "Do not step on our beautiful manmade beach (with a lifeguard nearby) because there are gators lurking at 1 foot depth". Someone should have told the alligator he was not allowed to swim there.
June 15, 201610 yr Not necessarily irrelevant. The sign says "no swimming". The sign does not say "Do not step on our beautiful manmade beach (with a lifeguard nearby) because there are gators lurking at 1 foot depth". It said no swimming! They were intentionally in the water, they ignored the signs. How you can blame it on Disney is beyond me.
June 15, 201610 yr Someone should have told the alligator he was not allowed to swim there. Exactly. Just like the deer DID obey the "Deer Crossing" sign.

Buy some good walking shoes and expect to be wore out each day, especially if you have kids I don't want to derail the thread too much but I thought every park except Magic Kingdom served alcohol? Looking forward to the trip. Probably won't be in the hotel much other than the day or two after we get there and the day before we leave. No kids but I still expect to be exhausted. Doing all the Disney parks + Universal + Downtown Disney.
June 15, 201610 yr It said no swimming! They were intentionally in the water, they ignored the signs. How you can blame it on Disney is beyond me. Have you see these beautiful, luxurious, Disney resorts? They put the beaches there for guests to enjoy. Why call it the "Grand Floridian Beach and Spa"? Little kids love sand and water.
June 15, 201610 yr Have you see these beautiful, luxurious, Disney resorts? They put the beaches there for guests to enjoy. Why call it the "Grand Floridian Beach and Spa"? Little kids love sand and water. People get bitten by sharks at the beach all the time... I'm failing to see your point.

The sign does not say "Do not step on our beautiful manmade beach (with a lifeguard nearby) because there are gators lurking at 1 foot depth". I love how you keep pointing out that the lake was man-made. Why does that matter at all? I'm curious.
June 15, 201610 yr People get bitten by sharks at the beach all the time... I'm failing to see your point. My point is that this is on Disney. They are negligent here.
June 15, 201610 yr My point is that this is on Disney. They are negligent here. I disagree. Your point is like jumping into a stove, then suing Kenmore.
June 15, 201610 yr My point is that this is on Disney. They are negligent here. So when someone gets bitten by a shark at the beach, is the hotel (or resort, or city who owns the beach) negligent?
June 15, 201610 yr My point is that this is on Disney. They are negligent here. They are negligent because these people didn't follow the rules that were posted... Got it.
