"It could have happened to anyone." Mom shares photos of son in spot where gator killed

20. Disney sells family safe resort. This family wasn't on a swamp tour.

I've been to Florida several times too. Even some municipal parks had signs warning of gators in their waterways.

I stayed at an ocean side hotel in Northern CA. It's the only place in the state to have been inundated by a tsunami -- only once. The hotel literature talked about tsunami evacuation, there were signs in the guest rooms, and signs on the streets point to tsunami evacuation routes.

In San Francisco there is a beautiful, long public beach at the western edge of the city. The ocean looks calm and inviting much of the time but there are dangerous rip currents not far from shore. At every stairway entry there is a large sign stating "Danger -- Rip Currents -- People Swimming and Wading Have Drowned Here" with an accompanying scary graphic.

That's how responsible public and private entities alert visitors to dangers in seemingly benign areas.

Disney had only a "No Swimming" sign in spite of the fact that some staff were concerned about the danger to unsuspecting guests and there has been incidents on Disney property in the past. At a minimum Disney owed its guests more explicit warning signs and warnings in resort rooms.
