They have movies all the time, guests also sit on the beach nightly to watch the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom. Yes, there are alligators all over in Florida, but not usually in this area, and it's not a common occurrence.

Press conference has started.

OMGosh! Just saw this on the news. Trying to find more info.

"According to several tweets, the child was on the beach during a “movie night” event when the incident occurred."

I guess I am coming at it from an Australian perspective. We stay right out the way of crocs. They terrify me.

Well, to be fair, doesn't everything in Australia try to kill you?

I thought he said wading, he later says about a foot into the water.

 

[cuffem]

Oh Dear! they were wading in the water near the shore at night,not a good idea,they feed at night.

Child was playing in the water about a foot in. Gator attacked. Father struggled with the gator to get the child but was unsuccessful.

Demings: Male child. Got detailed description of incident from witnesses. #Disney

 

[eileenhawkeye]

A foot into the water is what the parents said...they could have been swimming farther from the shore.
