It's interesting how it's apparently a one in a million chance of this happening and therefore Disney is not being negligent for failing to warn their guests.
But at the same time the parents are to blame for allegedly letting their child walk along the shallow water even though there was only a one in a million chance of being snatched by an alligator...assuming they even knew that was a possibility (they probably were unaware like most of us).
Funny how that goes. A company who knowingly subjects their guests to this danger that is known to them and has been for years (however small the odds), by inviting them to these beaches at all hours of the day, even when it is dark, is not being careless at all.
But a family who is on vacation, doing an activity organized by Disney, in an area known to and maintained by Disney is to blame for not knowing all the particulars of the area as well as Disney does.
I don't know about you, but if I had a lake in my backyard where gators were often seen, I would not invite people over to sit by the water in the dark and watch movies that will take their attention away from their surroundings and prevent them from noticing the gators approaching. That sounds like a recipe for disaster!
