It is fairly easy to remove alligators. The Villages do it all of the time. AND they kill them, to the hue and cry of many villagers. I doubt that a child centered place like Disney would turn their head to this danger. The sad truth is that alligators walk all around everywhere here. I stay away from water's edges here and along with letting grandchildren drive a golf cart, here is another dangerous and possibly deadly situation. We took our grandson to New Smyrna Beach when he was 12 and when his mother found out she told us that New Smyrna Beach is the shark bite capital of the world. I am always over protective and yet we nonchalantly took him there.

I am finding again that there are not solutions to all problems. Most of us humans are good and caring and protective of others.
