"No swimming " signs. Seems Disney didn't think to warn Yankees this is Florida, and any fresh water will have gators and cottonmouths. They'll write a big check for this screwup

Confirmed, sadly. The young boy has been identified as 2 y/o Lane Graves, son of Matt and Melissa Graves. The boy was found completely "in tact," according to the Sheriff. Medical Examiners are confirming the identity and completing the autopsy. The FWC is also attempting to identify the alligator that took the child. They have caught and euthanized 5 alligators, for which they'll be doing bite analysis, etc.

I'm sure Disney's "Risk Management" unit will be all over this. Them, and their "insurance" companies, which are more likely to write the check. Sadly, from an insurance "actuarial" context, a child's life isn't worth as much as an adult (and a provider to the family). But it's worth a whole lot to that family, for sure. The problem is Disney is still controlling the family right now, offering them "support and comfort." I just hope that through their grief, the family doesn't sign away their rights to take them on... something I'm sure Disney will try and get them to do while they're still on the property.

They will get a fortune. If Disney starts cheaping out the bad PR would cost too much.

Let's hope so. They deserve whatever they can get from "The Rodent."

Truly sad. I don't think it particularly affects only out of state visitors. Many Florida native not used to the outdoors could've been victims of such tragedy.

In the end I think Disney NEEDS to strongly advice against swimming in lagoons abs bodies of water in their properties. Big signs
