No way I would of thought it related to alligators. From what Ive read, this is on a beach on a family Disney resort. The presence of alligators would of been the last thing on my mind.
I bet I'd let my little guy go splash on the edge of the water too, if I'm only a few feet away.
Guess that makes me an irresponsible parent.  . Thoughts go out to the victims. |
Those 3 items you listed are not enough to keep your kid out of the water? In the context of the grand Floridian, there are at least 2 pools for recreation. One of the pools is no more than a 5-iron away from where this tragedy occured. Clean water, bars and snack places, kid's play area. When I was at this place with my then 2 year old, it was a no-brainer.
