Do keep in mind that Whiner tries to be jut one step ahead of everyone else....you know that kid, the let me get a little higher, a little deeper, a little dumber? But he's not the super competitive obnoxious type, just...well I can't explain it. So, four of the children are lined up at the railing which overlooks the water and the banks. The railing is a decent height so the younger ones have to look through instead of over. Still with me? To set the scene more: remember we have just eaten, hands still greasy with the smell of fresh meat. The children comment about the crocodile below. I go over to have a peak myself cause I didn't believe that there were crocs at WDW. It was a baby about 4 feet long. I believe Whiner wanted to feed it, or may have already thrown some food down. Either way, he was scolded. I turned and went to the trashcan (2 feet away) and when I turned back around, Whiner was up on top of the railing with one foot already over. I screamed to BIL to get his child! I ran over to the railing and the croc had his mouth wide open. I yelled at BIL, yelled at Whiner, yelled at myself, yelled at the other children, then I almost cried. Not only did he (Whiner) put himself in danger, but he put me, BIL, and DH in danger because if he had fallen, we all would have jumped in after him. And if there was a baby, wouldn't there be a mama? That still gives me the shivers. I was telling my mom what happened and she said "you know those things can jump?!" Great, let me shudder a little more!

OMG...I'd have KILLED THEM ALL and went someplace and got drunk to try to cope.

But that's just me...

Why didn't you throw BIL in to save Whiner? There was your big chance!

Besides, haven't you watched the Crocodile Hunter? Whiner was like the chicken they feed the crocs. (Now, where's the croc smiley?)

Ok, I'll give you a hint: remember the incident when Whiner was feeding the birds at Epcot? and running after them squawking? It has nothing to do with that!

Wow, no one else wants to know???

Hey give me a chance it was 3am and I was fast asleep

Whiner was up on top of the railing with one foot already over. I screamed to BIL to get his child! I ran over to the railing and the croc had his mouth wide open.

OMG when will that kid ever learn? But cool to see a croc maybe you don't agree

In future episodes is a police report, how to use all you snack credits in one day, and the exciting trip home!

A police report What else can go wrong Wow you do know how to leave us all with a cliff hanger

 

[PrincessV]

Yes, I AM late too (2). Know why? Because I'm jsut about BURIED in Post-Its with the names of future Lime Lookers - what did I get myself into??!!

I was telling my mom what happened and she said "you know those things can jump?!" Great, let me shudder a little more!

I'm so sorry - but this made me laugh. A lot. Which I know isn't very nice. And I am sorry.

I need to clear something up, though. Was this a captive croc, as in part of an AK enclosure/display? If not, Whiner was taking on a Gator. No crocs in FL.


Oh, and gators can jump even higher.

LY/MI!

Stop the presses! Tracy, your post count went down....hey mine did too? What the heck?

Wow - what's up with that?!?!?

When we lost The Thread, all our posts from them went POOF! Just shows how much time we spent there, huh?!

K, on with the TR - you're leaving in 3 days!! (Using V's Fuzzy Disney Calendar, in which we don't count today or the day of travel.)

I can't believe all of the new DIS friends we are making!

Yes, it is funny! Just gave me the heeby jeebies!

Nope, no captive protected area, so must have been a gator....thanks for clearing that up. I guess that's why there is only a Gatorland in FL and not a Croc camp. Nothing between him and the gator below except about three-five feet of air. I'm pretty curious about the surroundings, so I must go back there a take a picture

Wow! I must have had over 200 posts to that thread.

 

[sorul82?]

This brings up another story my mother told me that I must share with you. I have always believe it to be true as my mother is not the lying type. Before I was born, my mom and dad took my brother to FL. They visited some gator place...perhaps a pre-Gatorland? Anyhow there was a fence around the gator pit. A dad put his son on the fence for better viewing. A gator grabbed the boy's foot and drug him into the water. The boy drowned before he could be rescued. We are talking 1960's when this happened. That's what entered my mind when I saw Whiner up on the railing. Whether or not this gator could have jumped up and grabbed him, I don't know. But he could have easily slipped. Not only was he fresh meat, but he had pizza, chicken, and rib remnants on his clothes and hands. Since all is ok, I can laugh about it, and I will tell this story at any opportunity to embarass him! But I did sit all 5 of them down and try to scare some sense into them. It's a fine line we walk as parents. Do we say nothing so children can stay in lala land, or do we scare the pants off them? My dad told me that back on the farm rats would nip at babies mouths when they were sleeping. I didn't believe him until that story a few weeks ago.

Wow, is this Debbie Downer Day?

I'm going to Disney in two days! I'd better get a move on! And as the old folks say: get about my rat killing!

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

I don't do gators well. They ARE my nightmare. I would have wet my pants, plain and simple. Not good.

WTHeckles????

Did I scare everyone with my bedtime story?

Sorry, I lost darn internet last night. Hey VERIZON, you suck!

Wow - what's up with that?!?!?

Oh, well.... at least I get to celebrate 1000 posts again! Anything for a party! arty:

OMG...I'd have KILLED THEM ALL and went someplace and got drunk to try to cope.

I just KNEW I liked you!

When we lost The Thread, all our posts from them went POOF! Just shows how much time we spent there, huh?!

Carp! I knew it! I must have had like 200+ posts on there! I need a job!

 

[sorul82?]

Tracy, I need a job too! Even though there is so much I should be doing, I can't seem to tear myself away from the DIS. Oh, but I do keep rearranging things in the fridge. It's funny to watch Sirius trying to find his creamer.

OMG, I didnt see that one coming!!!Whenever in Fl and around water I always look for gators and everyone always makes fun of me.Especially when on the golf course, as you know those suckas jump.I have been to gatorland,and they can jump really high!! Well after I relay this message I think the sassing will end. I myself am always on the fence in situations like this---do you kill them or hug them because they are safe..I really want to strangle BIL right now. I have never known anyone so irresponsible. Oh I am seeing RED

Oh my, the police are involved--tell me more--quickly

I seem to have the same problem.Today it is 75 degrees here in lovely NJ and we were at the park most of the day. All I kept thinking about was getting home to the Dis. I need help, what am I going to do in the summer when we are out from morning til nite????Anyone know of a good DR

 

[corinnak]

Wow - I guess they don't call it "Animal Kingdom" for nuthin'! Good news is that being reptiles and all, that baby gator would likely never have met its parents - cause they don't sit their eggs, right? NOT a reptile expert here, I have to confess. I don't rule out other gators if you see one, though!

Thank goodness it all turned out OK - this sounds like quite the scare. Yes, be sure to take a photo of the gator-scare site on your next trip! But for heaven's sake, there is no need to climb up on the fence to get the proper perspective!
