I have been warned on multiple occasions, but never at the resort beaches. I have been blessed with an understanding wife and been allowed to go enjoy several of the Disney Golf courses while she fought the crowds at the parks. I've been warned by the starters on the first tee. " Gentlemen, welcome to XYZ course. Keep up the pace, also, if you hit near the water and see an alligator leave the ball there. They are Disney gators, however, they do not sing and they do not dance. Keep away." I've heard that on multiple occasions, and guess what, we saw alligators. It's Florida, they have them. I can't imagine the nightmare and pray often for that family to find strength to move on.
