    The insurance company will pay out and make a settlement.

    Disney pays the deductible.

    Everyone continues going to Disney World.

    I'd be surprised if Disney is not self insured for liability claims.

    get over yourself it wasn't that advanced. your mocking a gun rights argument doesn't exactly mesh with my argument comparing this tragedy to a shark attack at a beach. sorry but it doesn't. but you got your $.02 in anyway. well done

    Rich guests were in charge of Disney’s gator policy

    Disney World was warned about the alligator problem in its Seven Seas Lagoon but looked the other way because high-paying guests enjoyed feeding the creatures, a report has claimed.

    Management had been warned by park staff that guests at the $2,000-a-night waterfront Bora Bora Bungalows were feeding the alligators, but ignored requests to build protective fences, a park insider said, according to TheWrap.

    “Disney has known about the problem of guests feeding the alligators well prior to the opening of the bungalows,” the insider told the news site.

    “With the opening of the bungalows, it brought the guests that much closer to wildlife. Or, the wildlife that much closer to the guests.”

    Opened in April 2015, the bungalows are adjacent to the Grand Floridian Hotel, where2-year-old Lane Graves was snatched into the lagoon and killed by an alligator on Tuesday.


    A San Diego man told CBS News on Thursday that managers dismissed him when he reported seeing a gator go after his 5-year-old son at the park last year.

    “The response, I couldn’t believe it,” David Hiden, a lawyer, told CBS. “It was, ‘Those are resident pets, and we’ve known about them for years. And they’re harmless, they’re not going to attack anybody.’ ”

    Hiden and his family had been staying at Disney World’s Coronado Springs Resort, 3½ miles from the Grand Floridian.

    Also on Thursday, videos emerged on YouTube showing gators at Disney World, some just feet from parkgoers.

    The comment wasn't really directed at you per se; I thought I should acknowledge the springboard of the idea for my post to give it more context. But I can see how you'd feel that I was talking to you about something unrelated. Did not realize that that would annoy you; the goal was just to joke around good-naturedly. But I forgot that this board is... eh, it is what it is. That's why I'm not as active here as I used to be.

    I'm sure the i's have been dotted and the t's crossed already. I could see this coming a mile away the day the body was found.

    I'd be shocked if the family didn't stay on-shore this time around.

    I really don't get why so many people moved towards the nightclub after hearing gunshots.

    Gunshots?! Better go investigate. This is pretty terrible, not to mention the idea is just nuts in itself. 16, 17 year olds wanting to experience a club like atmosphere? Okay, I get it. Marketed to kids as young as 12? You're a moron of a parent to send your 12 year old to that place.

    I can't believe a shooter would target the innocence of a child. One of the victims was 14 years old. Hopefully the shooters rot in a Guantanamo Bay-type atmosphere for eternity.
