Child taken by alligator at Disney's Grand Floridian


Horrible. Like many of you, I have been to Disney, and we have played on the beaches at the G.F., Polynesian Resort, etc. I have always though that we were safe. (In Fantasy Land).

I always wondered how Disney patrolled the 7 seas lagoon for gators. I have seen fishing charters pull in 4-6lb.bass by the beaches. Impossible to control nature. So sad for the family.
