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

Was there over Mardi Gras and stayed at Polynesian and watched fireworks from edge of that same area.
Scary!
Definitely should have signs warning of alligators if that was the case and those signs are not there.

It does say stay out of water but you know every kid and most adults go right up to the water to take pictures and stuff.

I wonder if they would have looked a little longer if they might have saved him being so close to shore unless he washed back up.
