Earlier today I read a post tread about animals being seen on disney property. Someone said they spotted a alligator somewhere near the Beach Club under a bridge if I'm not mistaken We are staying at CBR this July and I must say before I read the post about the snakes, alligators and the bob cat somewhere near OKW I'm not that excited about going now I am really really fretting over this I'm not going to cancel my vacation (I would not dare hurt my kids because of this) but, I am really freaking out because of this. Can anyone tell me if there have ever been an incident where alligators or snakes have been sighted in CBR beach water or on the property I can deal with the snakes as long as it's going the opposite direction from me the alligator and crocs are another story
Also Birds for some reason have a tendency to crap on me for some reason(Like when I got off of work one day stopped @ the store was dressed in my new suit and low and behold about a zillion seagulls flew off the roof of the store and crap was falling everywhere People were running and screaming I had crap all over my suit (thank God it missed my head but the funny thing about it is when i walked in my front door the first thing my husband said"HOney You looked like you just been crapped on!" and he didn't even know what happened until i Told him

Surely noone has had a bad experience. I think that would for sure be posted. I think the named animals would just as soon leave you alone as you would them. *G* Also, like animals in a zoo these animals (if they exsit) are use to people everywhere...... relax and get ready to have the time of your life.

I may not be of much help, but since no one replied I will. I have never seen any animal other than the little lizards while at Disney. I am sure that at some point there may be an alligator around (your in Floriday, remember). Keep in mind that millions of people travel to and stay at Disney World, if there are any animals on property I am sure that they have people to take care of that. I certainly let it ruin your vacation.

We have used the water sprites in the seven seas lagoon and the only animals I have seen were birds.

Go on your vacation and have fun, there won't be any alligators traveling in the park.

Am I missing something???

O.k think about this WDW is amulti-million dollar company. Now if a alligator bit off your pinkey you sue them for all they have. Heck I think I want to do that! Also I read in a thread that if you see a baby croc and tell the cm he is history!

Hope this helps

The only animal I've seen, besides birds of course, was an armadillo running around near our Wilderness Cabin. Do NOT worry for one second about animals, you are going to have a great vacation!

Not much help here either, but the only animals I have seen at Disney are the ones at AKL or Animal Kingdom...I have seen an occasional deer "back stage" before when my Dad has taken us the "back way" into Disney, but that is about it...

I saw a bunny and some ducks at the Polynesian.

On our last trip I saw an alligator on Tom Swayer Island. I told one of the raft CM's who in turn gave me a strange look--so I pulled my trusty digital camera out of its bag and let him see for himself. Pest controll CM's are brought in to get rid of the gator. Now the good part of the story----The pest control CM's starting throwing rocks at the gator--gator goes in the water--pest control leaves---gator crawls back up on the bank by the water mill where he/she spends the rest of the afternoon. Go figure. PattyN

There are wild elk in my front yard eating my fruit trees!
Cougars are nailing my chickens left and right!
I'am not kidding....we live in easten Washington...full of rattlesnakes...do I worry about gators and snakes in disney?
RELAX......enjoy you vacation

A very long time back we spent one summer in Mississippi. There were alligators everywhere, we were told if one started to come after us we should run in a zig zag motion. Alligators have a hard time turning fast because of their tail, so the zig zaging slows them down.

I hope this little bit of information sets you mind at ease. Don't consume your vacation time being on the look out for alligators, just keep your eyes open around the lakes. And have a great trip!

In 1997 when we were at POFQ there was a snake in the pool. The pool was cleared right away and someone came and got it out. Although it may not be common, it seems they have had it happen before, all the CM's knew what to do and 2 men came with special equipment to get the snake out of the water. It all took less then 20 minutes, the pool was re-opened and everyone started swimming again. That is the only time we have seen anything other then birds, squirrels etc. "roaming" the grounds at WDW. So relax, and have a great trip!

I was one of the ones that mentioned the alligator at BC. It was about 6 feet long and it was in the canel under the bridge that walks over to the bus stop (I have a picture!) We spotted it one day, and then again the next day further down the canel a bit. Good news is that it never came up the hill! I think it wants to be left alone just as much as we want to leave it alone so don't worry!

I've only seen lizards, birds, bunnies, toads and an armadillo. I dislike any creepy crawly things,but I've never considered not going to Disney because of them. When in and around watere keep an eye out otherwise just relax and have fun. I don't think most gators want to deal with humans if they don't have to!

When I stayed at the CBR a long long time ago, there was a big, brown snake right at the entrance to the resort. Luckily, I was in a bus and the snake was outside!

We stayed at OKW last July and saw 2 snakes. One was down by the main pool & the other was by the quite pool at turtle pond. They told us that it had rained so much that it was common to see some snakes. We are leaving in 6 days & are staying at OKW again. Hope you can put this out of your mind and go and have a great vacation. I know I am.

Last trip we did see a small gator in front of Coronado Springs hotel, just enjoying the sun. Armos are everywhere and at dusk you can see deer roaming the golf courses.

First of all, the chance of attack are small if measurable. Remember to just play it safe, do not bother the gator and 99.98% of the time he/she will not bother you.

Being ascuba diver I have been around sharks and other "large" animals underwater in their habitat many times, dive Masters will always tell you do not provoke thema nd respect then and you will be fine.

Same goes to the land animals. WE got a great picture of teh sunning gator for our photo album.

Go and enjoy WDW, nothing to fear except for Goffy if you are a lillte tike!!! Hey a 9 ft Dog in an orange shirt can be a shocking site to a toddler.

I hate any kinds of critters,but no matter where you go on vacation you will have to deal with something. Ocean,mountains, desert,even someones back yard. I wouldn't worry about it. Have fun!
