To be honest, I can't even agree with you on that one. Like I mentioned earlier, "no swimming" takes on a totally different connotation than "stay away from the water". The boy wasn't swimming, so they didn't ignore the signs.

If I'm at that resort, I expect to be safe, and any dangers to be CLEARLY pointed out to me. I'm not in the wilderness, I'm in a man made resort with landscaped beaches with freaking lounge chairs for tourists. I honestly would not have expected alligators in the water if there were no signs that warned of it, and I don't think that's an unrealistic assumption.

This tragedy is totally on Disney if we need to assign any blame, and none on the parents whatsoever IMO.
