I think the original poster did a service by explaining that there are snakes even in WDW. For those of us not from or familiar with Florida it's best to remember not to send your kids out in the courtyard area to play unsupervised or somewhere they might wander into the brush. For us in PA, whenever my kids see some bushes, trees or shrubs they want to set off and explore. In FL you can encounter coral snakes, fire ants, scorpions or even the wayward alligator and it could put a real crimp in your vacation plans.
