There were signs EVERYWHERE about alligators. I'm sure I was also briefed by whoever planned the trip. Anyway it was very clear to me that being anywhere near water was a risk for alligators, so have to be alert and ready to get the heck out of there.
It really does bother me that Disney wasn't clear about the alligator danger, if that is true. This is why I don't even like Disney stuff. They try to be some trumped up fantasy crap when the real world is incredibly beautiful, fascinating, and amazing on its own. Why can't we teach kids to be as interested in nature as they are in fake crap? Not that that would have made the child safe ... but the parents would have seen warning signs to tell them of the danger.
