re: Why the hell are there gators at Disney where small children are at?

They are more aggressive during this time.

This time of years the bigger males start defending their turf and will push smaller males out to places that they typically may not be otherwise. Plus, most of these Disney lakes are full of fish and with the amount of food that gets tossed around by tourists, probably full of racoons and such feeding on discarded food, so you have a feeding source as well.

Pretty sad this went down but I don't think there was a whole lot Disney could have done different except put Danger Signs for Gators up.
