As someone who grew up near Pulse, and who's mother has worked for Disney for the past 10 years, let me clarify some shit;
There are signs all over Disney that specify no swimming or wading on almost, if not all, bodies of water surrounding the resorts. Generally, if a cast member sees you anywhere near bodies of water they will call you out. Its not like they will just stroll by while you put yourself in danger. However, if you choose to still disregard blantant signs and warnings, that is your responsibility entirely. Its not Disney's fault you decided to go near massive bodies of water, at night especially, to swim or fuck around. While i am not blaming the parents, this kind of thing is completely spontaneous, people do need to be more aware that Florida is not clear waters. Florida is a swamp. We are a massive state filled to the brim with wildlife at every damn corner. Disney can only tame so much of that.
Also, for those who dont know, Florida is a massive swamp. Every body of water has wildlife in it, gators especially. We cannot control this to the high extent people think we can. They are everywhere and produce rapidly. There are people who hunt them daily and sell their meat as jerky and other products for a living but that still only diminishes their population ever so slightly. If you live in Florida, you know not to go near rogue bodies of water. There are lakes/springs we go to that are controlled or bordered off from gators for swimming and recreational use. Not every place is like this though so when you come to Florida, it is almost always swim at your own risk. Thats just the way it is here. We cant change that and we make grand efforts to but its pretty fucking difficult when this whole state is a massive swamp overflowing with dangerous wildlife.
