Snake in Resort Room?

[divawife]

I'm really jealous of my husband. He went on a company sponsored business trip one year and his business sent him and his coworkers off to a free round of golf at an expensive golf course in Florida. Halfway through the game an alligator came out of water hazard pond and ate their balls. I totally wished I could have been there to see that.

The alligator ate their balls? ouch! bwaaa-haaa-haaa-haaa!

I was thinking the same thing.

[/QUOTE] As much as I love nature, if a snake was in my bed, I'd turn into Samuel L. Jackson in one fell swoop, wetting my pants whle screaming, "I am so sick of these mother $^##& snakes in my mother $%%$# resort room!"[/QUOTE]

this made me because that is exactly what I said when we kept getting snakes in our yard,(except instead of resort room it was my mother $@#%# yard)! one even got in our house and I had finally had enough of them. I was so scared that at night I would almost drive up to our front steps to get the kids out of the car then I would wait until my husband came home to move the car back into the driveway. We have since moved from Jurassic Park as I liked to call the old house..Im just waiting for my first snake sighting at the new one.. I know its only a matter of time

OMGosh I have the creepy crawlys now. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE snakes. Did I mention that I hate snakes. So help me if I go to POP as this is our 4 trip in December and I see a snake I will FREAK!!!!!!! And I mean Freak. Everyone will be able to hear me scream and cry and I probably end up having a heart attack from the stress. I really don't know why I read this thread.

ALso thanks to the other poster who wrote that when she hears the word snake she thinks of Woody from Toy Story "There's a snake in my boot". I do the same thing.

DD totally saw a snake in the landscaping at WL when we were there in March. She freaked out, but all was well.

Of course, we also saw a bunny that trip, and she was over the moon about that.

As long as I don't see an alligator (and don't get bitten by a snake!), I'm going to say it's all good. It is Florida, after all.

I am not scared of snakes. I have held a few in my time. But, you do have very valid points. It does not matter if it is venomous or not. They both can still bite. And who would want to go on vacation, and find a snake in their room, or bed.. Other than Spacepest.

I did actually see photos from the Contemporary 4 th floor.A little girl was in the bed oppositethe window and say something moving above the curtains.It was a large black snake and her nest with eggs.It was real and the hotel staff came in and removed it.She was upgraded to concierge..I also saw snakes outside the Beach Club and a worker there said if you are on the main floor they will come in if you leave the door open.Its not unusual but it is Florida.I also saw one outside my Grandmas condo in the grass next to the sidewalk...no water in sight and there he was slithering across the lawn..

I know this story about the CR is true because I did see the pictures; however, I thought it was in the garden wing of CR. Are there 4 floors in that wing or just 3? So I was just wondering where the snake actually was

Room number?

If it was in my room I'd be freaking out!

It's been about 5 yrs or so but we saw some type of dark colored snake slither out of a bush really quickly near the bike/marina rental area. This was during the afternoon. It moved so fast we could not tell what kind it was. Probably a moccasin. They are out there so you do have to be aware and avoid bushes and thick landscaped areas.

 

[DMMarla07860]

I am scared of snakes, but if I see one and it doesn't do anything to me I'd be fine with it. Just won't be touching one or picking one up

 

[mickey family]

Water moccasin/cottonmouth snakes are very aggressive and in areas where there is water at the resorts. They have been seen a good distance from the lakes in very manicured landscaping within feet of the sidewalks. Just be careful!

Oh, I do...

I'm another one who shouldn't have opened this thread. Words can't describe my phobia of the s-word...I can't even say it. It's really ridiculous actually and evidently passed down through generations on my mom's side. We're a funny bunch when they are mentioned. It's not pretty. It's pretty common knowledge how scared I am of them. I actually remember my cousins coming over, when I was a teenager, with a tiny garden snake in a styrofoam cup. They chased me into my room. We lived in one of those big, old Victorian houses and all the bedroom doors were double french doors with the old-fashioned keyholes and big gaps between the bottom of the doors and flooring. I was so sure they were going to stick that *thing* under the doors.

I spent the rest of the evening standing on a chair in my room, staring at the bottom of the doors in terror.

I can't believe I just admitted that...I will be asking for a room upstairs on our next trip.

I was walking into the laundromat at the POFQ around 8pm last June. I was carrying a full laundry basket & there was a small blackish snake in the middle of the sidewalk. I NEARLY STEPPED ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I completely FREAKED out & warned everyone in the little laundry room. Some of them kind of looked at me like I was an idiot, but I didn't care!

Now, I'm sitting here reading this thread (WHY?) while DH & I are watching "Seven Deadly Strikes" on Animal Planet. This guy is crazy & I have NO IDEA why I'm torturing myself with watching that show & reading this thread! My DH is just as scared as me...while ago we were holding hands & he nearly cut off my circulation as cobras were striking at the host!

Also...DH just killed a 2' snake in our backyard 2 days ago. (Sorry if that offends anyone, but we don't deal well with serpents!) It was hiding in our flower bed - probably doing a great job of keeping nasty bugs & mice away, but we just don't take chances w/ our 2 kiddos playing back there. (That's right, we'll blame it on the kids.)

My oldest DD saw a LARGE black snake near our building, 38, last week at POR. I asked one of the maintenance people about seeing snakes there and he said he sees AT LEAST one a day. Well, there is a lot of water there.

We also saw a gator this trip too. It was in one of the ponds on the left when you pull out of the resort and go to the left. It was NOT SMALL.

Wow

 

[peter&tink]

Oh my, I hate snakes more than anything. Has anyone ever been bitten or hurt by a snake or alligator at Disney?
