Disney anxiety?!

[givemeabigfatcakeanyday]

I know this is going to sound ridiculous but I would love to take dc to Disney in Florida but I have a big fear of alligators!! ☹️ Can anyone put my mind at rest please?!

You will be safe from alligators at Disney. In Florida you need to not swim in the lakes, swamps etc and you are highly unlikely to come across an alligator. There was a incident with a little boy at a Disney hotel a few years ago but he had entered the water that was prohibited from swimming in. The only alligators in the Disney parks will be fluffy ones!

As long as you don’t go to Gatorland (theme park with alligators!) then you will be fine!

You’re more likely to be hurt or killed on the roads than by an alligator.

I was desperate to see an alligator, but have never yet managed it. Apparently they are common at Celebration, but our forays into the area proved gatorless.

You’ll be fine! Just stay out of the lakes . We did see an alligator once at Animal Kingdom but we were way up on a bridge and a member of staff was dealing with it.

Don’t swim, paddle in or go near open freshwater lakes and you should be fine.
We go fairly often and I worry more about snakes!

Don't stand by the lake in Disney in the grand floridian. There were alligators there a few years ago and killed a child. Just make sure you stay away from open water. In most open water in florida there are alligators

We saw a small alligator in the lake as we left Magic Kingdom last year. It was just minding its own business mooching about in the water near where you get off the ferry. The Brits were all amazed and the Americans were all laughing at us.

We have just come back from Florida and stayed in Disney, didn’t see an alligator at all and we stayed at a resort on the river.

Stay in a hotel on idrive it is far enough away from disney you are more than likely to see a racoon than aligator.

Stay away from fresh water and you’ll be fine. We’ve been a few times and never seen more than a snout
