I'm not even sure this is a winnable lawsuit, there were no swimming signs and it was a wild animal fluke accident at 9:30 at night. Maybe because its Disney and people feel bad for the family and knows Disney had money, but a judge could overturn it.

Given that, I'm sure Disney is going to pay them out of condolence, to hush up, and put this behind everyone.

an inviting sandy beach will be their undoing. an area known to have dangerous wildlife should be appropriately designed (i.e. zoo standards) when frequented by small children. A simple "no swimming" sign does not suffice.

They will pay the family a settlement simply because it is what it is. People talking numbers like $100 million are nuts, though.

Even if they had "beware of alligator" signs they would lose a lawsuit. They would win based on the fact they knew there was a potential danger to guests and didn't take the proper precautions to prevent the guests from entering the water...with a wall or fence.

Was the kid swimming or standing in the water? 2 very different things.
