Disney posting danger signs and erecting fencing around beach where boy died.

They've known about the risk for years. It's terrible that their complacency led to the horrific death of a toddler.

Construction workers have put up a waterfront barrier at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in Walt Disney World, three days after a toddler was killed by an alligator at the resort.

Meanwhile, Disney World released a photo of signs it plans to erect at all its resorts with beaches. The red, white and black signs say "Danger! Alligators and snakes in area. Stay away from the water. Do not feed the wildlife."

Previously, signs had said simply "no swimming."

"We are installing signage and temporary barriers at our resort beach locations and are working on permanent, long-term solutions at our beaches," Disney said in a statement. "We continue to evaluate processes and procedures for our entire property, and, as part of this, we are reinforcing training with our cast for reporting sightings and interactions with wildlife and are expanding our communication to Guests on this topic."

1. Late . . . a-holes.

2. They couldn't have done this before a child got killed?

Good grief, it just isn't that hard. If you have dangerous animals on your property, and you invite little kids to visit, you take steps to keep the dangerous animals and the little kids apart. Everyone knows this, so why couldn't the PTB at Disney figure it out? It's true you can't prevent the tragedy 100 percent of the time but you sure can make it much less likely to happen. They weren't even trying.

4. Not funny.

A baby lost it's life and you got jokes.

11. It's just the irony of it being at a Disney resort

Now Disney's on a Gator-killing spree.
That's not funny, either.

So, in order to maintain their artificial environment,
Disney kills Nature.



When the entire world is made antiseptic,
Disney will have won.

5. Interesting that they added "snakes" to that.

Makes you kind of wonder.

6. There are lots of water moccasins in the area. Not

at all impossible for some of Disney's guests to encounter one.

7. I understand that. I worked there for several years.

Just found it interesting that they added it. Makes me wonder if there've been some close encounters of that kind as well.

9. I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Fortunately the cottton mouth generally makes a display before actually striking - probably enough to cause the Disney visitors to back off in a hurry when they saw it.

8. A day late and a million dollars short, Disney

Just wait for the parents of the toddler killed by the gator to sue the living shit out of Disney. They should own the park.

10. They'll settle it.
