based on the 2nd pic looks like he has an older sister also. older than she is in that pic now and will remember this . based on everything i have read so far they should never have had that movie night thing and should have had more warnings of the alligators.

Now, the part that pisses me off:
In April of 2015, a previous guest at a different Disney resort (3.5 miles south of this one) was with his 5-year-old son who was wading in a lagoon The father saw an alligator coming straight at his son. He pulled his son out, then saw a second alligator. He warned a hotel manager, who said they were local pets and wouldn't hurt anyone. The father warned them at some point, some day, one of their resident pets would kill somebody.
This father was an attorney. He wish he had taken this further than just talking to a local manager. I'm not blaming him, but obviously Disney didn't do a damned thing about it.
Here is the CNN clip. I can't embed: http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/previous-visitors-say-they-warned-disney-about-alligators/
