For Pete's ever famous saying to stay out of the lakes.

Pete's sign off is exactly what I thought when I heard the initial story about the attack

14 years ago I stayed at Poly and I remembered the water in the lake was swampy and disgusting. ... What is it about that swampy water attract people to touch it??? Is it the sandy beach??

I remember swimming back in the early 90's at the Grand Floridian ...back then it was perfectly fine.

Glad they quoted you Pete.

I am from country where gators are not common at all. The only reason I looked into it is Pete's line!

Actually, Pete's quote is more about the dangerous amoeba than the alligators.

Perhaps, but it made me question the safety of it

I have always hated stepping down onto slimy lake bottoms. It's always grossed me out.

Welp, there's my nightmare fuel for the day.

I hope Pete is going to carry on his tagline - it's more relevant than ever now.

I thought exact same thing. I know cast members can't say it but I wish the signs posted would use that quote.

I remember that podcast where he first used it. It was a audio only poly review and the poly signs at that time was "stay out of the lake" and there was a lot of those signs when he was watching fireworks. He did mention the collection of things in the water, including the infrastructure. There is cables and things in that water as well. Not sure if that stuff is still in use but it's there if they have replaced it since.

"Stay out of the lake" is what these signs should say. Why did Disney change it to "no swimming?"

 

[Accident]

did they change at poly? I haven't been to poly in years..

I don't know what the sign says at Poly now.. If the sign at GF said "No Swimming" and sign at Poly said "Stay out of the lake", wouldn't that be funny since they both share the same lagoon?? "No swimming" just sound so wishy-washy, whereas "stay out of the lake" makes the message clear.

Poly signs said no swimming as far as I know,
