Not to disagree with you, but I have visited this spot at WDW many times with my daughter and grandkids who live nearby and go for evening walks along that path often.
The fact that just feet away there are nighttime Disney movies on the beach leads to the feeling that it is a safe area. This was a disaster waiting to happen. There is a feeling that all is man-made at Disney, and not an expectation of alligators in the water. A “No Swimming” sign does not relay enough information, if that was the purpose of the sign.
I don’t disagree....It is a lulling on one’s senses.
I haven’t been to the Florida Disney but I have been many times to the California Disney. Decades ago Disney was a pleasant place to have some fun. Over the years my guard goes up more and more. When taking my daughter to enjoy Disney I kept her close. We had a good time but it was much more restricted than when I had gone before.
The last time I went it wasn’t animal vermin that were the concern. The number of turd world entitled folks who would large in lines, run over people, steal your purchases, spit at you, push and laugh as they were more and more rude as the day went on....by night time it was not really a safe place to be.
Just suggesting that one does need to be aware of their surroundings....even if it seems safe
I agree. No swimming on a summer night may turn into let me just take my sandals off and wade in the water a foot deep. Personally, I wouldn’t tho cause I don’t like polluted stagnant water. That type of water is kinda gross to me. I’ll take the ocean or a pool or it needs to be a clean body of water. Anyway, I can see how it happened without negligence involved on the part of the parents.
