Disney has added new signs around its Florida waterways and they will feature more than a simple “No Swimming” message.

There has been speculation Disney should have added signs warning visitors about a potential alligator threat after a gator dragged a 2-year-old boy to his death at the Grand Floridian Resort in Orlando.

“We are installing signage and temporary barriers at our resort beach locations and are working on permanent, long-term solutions at our beaches. We continue to evaluate processes and procedures for our entire property, and, as part of this, we are reinforcing training with our Cast for reporting sightings and interactions with wildlife and are expanding our communication to Guests on this topic,” Jacquee Wahler, Vice President, Walt Disney World Resort, told Epoch Times in a statement.
