Disney World facing questions over guest safety after no signs warning of alligators found at location tot was drowned
Neighbouring hotel warns of predators but place where two-year-old was grabbed only warns of 'No Swimming'
DISNEY World faces questions over guest safety after it emerged no signs warning of alligators were found at the location where 2-year-old tot Lane Graves was dragged to his death on Tuesday night.
The Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is one of Disney's premium resorts but residents were quick to highlight the lack of signs that warn of the predators in the Seven Seas Lagoon, even though reptiles had been spotted in the days before the attack.
But neighbouring hotel, the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, which shares the lagoon with the Disney resort, has a sign that expressly states 'Please be aware of alligators in the lake'.
Disney fan site, , posted the photos after it reviewed the site three years ago, and shows signs warning guests not to swim in the lake in case of alligators, complete with colour image of the predator.
The reviewer added: 'No swimming signs are very common at resorts here - I don't see many alligators in Orlando, but it's always a good idea to do any swimming in pools, not lakes.'
Signs at the Grand Floridian only warn guests not to swim — and make no mention of the deadly reptiles that live in the lagoon.
The Seven Seas Lagoon is a man made and hosts watersports for visitors, as well as transporting guests to and from the Magic Kingdom on a ferry.
Toddler Lane Graves died after being dragged from the beach near the Grand Floridian resort despite attempts from both parents to rescue him from the gator.
The tot, originally from Nebraska, was on a holiday with his parents when the incident happened on the third day of their vacation.
Lane was said to have been wading on a beach with his mother when the accident happened at around 9.20pm.
His body was found 'intact' after an extensive search of the lagoon.
Divers located the body at around 1.45pm and it was removed from the site at around 3.30pm.
Walt Disney World have shut down all resort beaches and marinas after the incident.
