One thing that has not been mentioned is that most American Alligators are not man eaters and do not attack humans out of the water. Almost all accounts of attacks by American alligators are done while the people were actually in the water.

WDW has been open for 45 years and to my knowledge this is the first incident of this nature to happen on property. For all of the millions of people who have been to WDW in 45 years to have never had an attack there was no reason for Disney to think such a tragedy would happen.
With that said there was a recent report of a species of Nile Crocodiles being reported in Florida which are man eaters and will come out of the water to grab "prey". My question, is it possible one of these Nile Crocodiles has made it onto property and that is what they are dealing with here? People get these exotic animals from other parts of the world and can no longer care for them and release them into the wild. This is a growing problem in Florida such as the population growth of the Burmese Python in the wild in Florida and other species not native to USA.
