For Mr. Walker, it was just the opposite. I think he was rather emotionally stable when he finally found his birth mother (he was 29), but she left her husband (supposedly because he wouldn’t accept Mr. Walker’s intrusion into the family) AND left her two youngest children with her now ex-husband. Mr. Walker thought…

It’s like Idiocracy has come to life right before our eyes.

Thats the thing, she shouldnt feel good about her body because she is fat.

How can someone have cankles on a pair of boots that are at least 6" above the ankle? That makes no sense.

There are fences like that in places guests don’t see. Putting those types of fences where you can see them tends to take away from the view of your resort, though, so you won’t see things like that. Even the new signs they put up are less invasive than that sort of fencing. As far as Harry Potter world, that’s at…

Don’t be confused. If you’re in Florida and three’s fresh water anywhere near you, there’s probably an alligator in it. Even little retention ponds and creeks have gators. They are everywhere and they usually don’t bother people, especially during daylight hours. They hunt mostly at dusk (or later) and that’s the time…

Yeah, River Country is still there, but it’s been permanently closed since 2001 and in severe disrepair. If you take a ferry over to the Fort Wilderness Campground, you can still see the water slides if you know where to look. A horror film set there would be kinda awesome.

They’d have to put a fence similar to the one above around every single body of water on the WDW Resort property. Kennedy Space Center has fences like this around everything to keep the alligators in or out (as needed). They have literally had them wander into buildings at KSC. It’s what happens when you build your…

I can guarantee that they knew and they’ve done their best to relocate problem gators. They didn’t want to burst the “magic” bubble by warning guests that alligators were present in the lake right outside the patios of their resort. Every body of fresh water owned and managed by state or local governments has a sign…

In addition to the alligators, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that guests could encounter venomous snakes (water moccasins, copperheads, rattlesnakes, coral snakes), brown recluse and black widow spiders, scorpions, bears, bobcats, and wild boar (last three probably not on WDW property - it’s become too…

The WDW Resort used to actually have a water park located on Bay Lake (the lake directly connected to the Seven Seas Lagoon via a water bridge) called River Country. Guests (myself among them) swam in the same water these alligators inhabit with very little to separate the water park from the lake itself. Floridians…

Having never run one over, I can only assume it would be like hitting a really huge speed bump because they aren’t tall enough (generally) to be higher than your bumper. They are tall enough, though, that it might send your vehicle into the air depending on the speed at which you were traveling. I’m picturing the…

Yeah, but proving that they knew Cast Members were feeding alligators, which desensitizes them to our presence and increases their view of us as food, just made an attorney’s job that much easier. That and the fact that WDW Resort management didn’t want to scare guests by putting up signs warning about alligators on…

Damn, that Bobcat DOES own your yard! Fences won’t keep a bobcat out, either, unless they are angled at the top so they can’t jump it (like they do for gators at KSC). Even a house cat can easily jump a six-foot fence.

I worked at the WDW resort for a short time and have a sibling that worked there for 18 years. Plus, my family owned a piece of land Disney bought for the parks. The resort is built entirely on swampland.

I’m not sure I understand your comment. Who has signs that say not to feed alligators? As a former Cast Member, I can guarantee you that WDW didn’t have signs like that around the resort. Perhaps they put signs up at the Reedy Creek Firehouses, but they were definitely not anywhere a guest on property would see them.

The only place I know of that gators are intentionally fed is an amusement park/tourist trap called Gatorland. There, they feed the gators whole chickens from a fishing pole as a show for the tourists. Anywhere else (except another park like that), it’s against the law in the state of FL to feed an alligator. Feeding…

Actually, yes, people are suggesting that gators who are fed by humans tend to turn around and later attack humans. That’s why it’s illegal to feed alligators. They don’t distinguish us from food. They would as soon bite your hand off as wait for you to give them something edible.

Your Disney Gator Truther doesn’t know what he’s talking about, then. Alligators frequently stick to prey they can eat in a single bite. Larger prey, however, is killed by dragging it into the water where the gator does a death roll to drown it. The gator then stashes the prey somewhere underwater to rot for a while…

Agreed, it is difficult to say which gator it could have been, but if they were feeding multiple gators, who’s to say other Disney cast members or even guests weren’t doing the same thing?
