Toddler eaten by Disney Gator


Not only would ex-Marine SmarterthanFew have been briefed in gator ops, upon arrival he would have established a defensive perimeter around the child, who would have been armed and clad in Kevlar body armor, while an advanced recon patrol swept the shallows for lurking reptiles.

And he would have packed snacks.

Of course.
 
It's also basic common sense for a theme park not to put beach chairs, umbrellas, and cabanas around a lake of prehistoric predators.

I'm pretty safety conscious and it would never have occurred to me there could be in alligators inside a marked recreational pond inside a Disney theme park.
mosquitos, fireants , snakes.."no see ums". no thanks.

If we want to hang out like that it's off to the beach. Florida beaches are some of the best in the world
Why hang out in swampland?

You are right, Disney made it inviting and seemingly safe.

I am a fourth (at a minimum) generation Floridian and I am not sure I would have thought of it with that setup.

Not sure how others live, but we don't all avoid the water. I live on a lake, a real lake, not Disney fantasy world. I am sure there are gators in it. People will be skiing on it tomorrow. They swim in it, let there dogs play in it, etc. That's normal. While I expect there are gators in the lake I am guessing the big ones are removed. A big gator needs to sun itself and most people are not cool with one laying in their yard. So the big ones avoid humans or they are removed. Problems arise when some Masshole/NYer feeds them but other than that...

It's Disney magic.

Walt needed interstate access and warm weather.

Besides Walt got the land cheap and there were no strong unions in Orlando to run costs up.

BTW, the park is built on the sand dredged out of a hole in the swamp.

That hole is called Grand Lagoon.
