Disney has wiped out references and depictions of alligators and crocodiles from its storied attractions at the Magic Kingdom in Florida in the weeks after a 2-year-old was killed in an attack at a resort, according to reports.
The Miami Herald reported that cartoon alligators and crocodiles have been removed from shows and parades, and a more than 50-year-old one-liner warning parents to watch their children or “the crocodiles will” is no longer told on the Jungle Cruise at the Magic Kingdom.
Walt Disney World Resort vice president Jacquee Wahler confirmed to The Washington Post on Thursday that the company “made changes out of respect for the family.”

I’m so sad that a child was killed, but this is just ridiculous. Will they stop selling soda if someone dies from diabetic shock?

Down the memory hole with all the bad things!
Someone should ask all the alligators in and around Disney World what they think about it.

I suppose the pertinent question is, “Did they get rid of the alligators in the park?”.

Used to vacation at a condo in Kissimmee; at night an alligator would reserve the pool. Signs warned not to use the pool at night or walk toward it. SOP

Those alligators have just as much right to be there as any of those children!

Are they also warning about the water snakes — both the poisonous & nonpoisonous? Those are a real threat too. As for crocks, there is a Florida crocodile, but I'm not sure they roam as far north as Orlando.

I imagine the alligator was just trying to protect the child.

and a more than 50-year-old one-liner warning parents to watch their children or “the crocodiles will”Mostly successful warning, if it's been used for 50+ years. Mostly.

On another tack, I hear the Pulse Nightclub has remodeled.

Enterprise to be absorbed? Is this a Star Trek reference, regarding the episode where those “not of the body” are to be absorbed?
