I don't go anywhere without having done my homework. And after the huge story all over the airways several days ago, a jumbo giant gator was reported on a Florida gulf course how could people not know that Florida has alligators.
From what I understand Disney has been removing alligators. The problem you face is that alligators are wild creatures and more may have the potential to move in after others are removed. Short of putting a whole lot of fencing around the entire perimeter (including all waterways) of their property I would doubt that they could prevent alligators from entering their property.
People are totally unrealistic when they say that Disney should keep alligators off of their property. I am sure the golf course was not happy to have that mammoth size guy on their property. The best Disney can to is to keep trapping them and removing them.
Even if Disney posts their own alligator warning signs that would not be enough to stop stupid.
Alligators is not solely a Disney problem it is a Florida (and other states) problem. It seems like it would be more efficient to just notify people at every point of entry that Florida is an alligator habitat and to be aware. It still may not stop stupid but they cannot claim that they were not warned.
