Was it a beach, or water recreation area they were at? Or did they wander off the reservation to an area that they weren't supposed to be in?

What is more dangerous in Florida, the swamps or the cities? Kind of a toss-up at this point....seems like anyway. Been a pretty rough week for the greater Orlando area.

Either way....what a nightmare. Poor kid.

I don't have a map showing exactly where the tragedy occurred, but there is on-site and aerial video of the scene and this is where they were staying:



The sign said "No Swimming"

This is a Disney resort. There's a pool. There's a playground. It's the Magic Kingdom, and everything is manicured. That beach was built for people to walk on, because people like to walk on a beach.

So now these fucktards go to disney, ignore all the signage saying stay your dumb ass out of the water it has alligators, and a kid gets taken. I love the idea that they are searching for a 2 year old body in a 200 acre lake on 40000 acres of natural wild life preserve. To what purpose? To kill the gator? It was 9 pm so its dark out, you know when they are hunting for food. Shit gators are the reason i dont go fucking canoeing down here. Ever seen what a 12 foot gator can do to your puny ass canoe?

What did they think was going to happen? That the disney gators are somehow way nicer then the ones everywhere else? Fucking people are stupid and ones that do shit like this are fucking up the gene pool.

I think you're being too harsh here. It's a Disney resort, and these people were from Nebraska. Maybe someone from Florida sees that picture and thinks "gator", but most people would see a beach. It was built to look like a beach.

I hear ya on the gorilla. Yeah, it's terrible that they shot the gorilla, but in the moment it was the right call. None the less, both the parents and the zoo got some explaining to do. Lions and gorillas in the zoo aren't animatronic. They're goddamned lions and gorillas. How are you not watching your kid? Also, how is a kid able to just wander in? So seriously, that's a human failure. That's the sort of shit the zoo has to anticipate - oopsing your way into the gorilla enclosure should simply not be possible.

So far, my take on the gator-chomped kid is that it's also a human failure, but not on the part of the parents. Lots of the animals at Disney are animatronic. It's the happiest place on earth! The signs didn't say "DANGER! REAL, LIVE, NON-ANIMATRONIC MAN-EATING ALLIGATORS. WE'RE NOT JOKING."

Neither did they say, "Stay 10 feet from water", or "Stay off Beach", or "Say clear of water". They don't even say to stay out of the water.

They said "No Swimming".

This is a nightmare for Disney. Safe, happy vacations for families is what they sell. Now, the Kraken ate a toddler.

My guess is that Disney will (a) pay that family a huge settlement as quietly as possible, and (b) pave the 'Seven Seas Lagoon' and put up a Landlubbers of the Caribbean Mini-putt and Bocce Adventure.

Yea if the gator was big enough to drag a 2 year old he shouldn't still be intact when found...I suspect foul play.
