        I'm sorry, but why is a 2 yr old playing in the water after 9pm in an area with warning signs "no swimming"? #DisneyGatorAttack

        100% the parents fault, just because people can reproduce doesn't mean they should. I hope they don't have anymore kids!

        It's not man made. Disney was built on swampland. Gators travel the waters

        the lagoon is man made but it connects to a lake. Alligators can move easily from the lake to the lagoon
