on their property and just defer to 'No Swimming' signs.
After all they want to give the impression to people of one of 'Disney Magic' - the happiest place on earth. People feel safe there.
Posting a 'Danger:Alligator' sign would scare people. It would make people feel less safe if they knew there were alligators that can possibly attack them - and on Disney property. That would be sacrilegious on the part of Disney to admit danger.
I believe that Disney Corp should be sued for big bucks here because of negligence on their part for not informing the public of the potential of dangerous alligators.
