Looks like you're going to have to vacation somewhere else now that the rope fence has been put up..
I'll be staying at different resorts now, stayed at the poly a few times but the huts kinda ruined that view so we were thinking about other monorail resorts but I'm good now if any type of fencing stays.
No one is being punished.
Yea, we are kinda are. Everyone is having to deal with the recourse of this incident.
People who think the fence is temporary are in for a big surprise. Like the old saying goes you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. This horrible situation with the little boy happened, doesn't matter if it was freak accident Disney can't ignore it. Disney's lawyers will tell them they have no choice that fences have to stay. Who do you think told them to put these fences up so quickly. Makes me sick that people are saying it ruins their views. Then stay some place else. The fact you are quoting you pay 600+ a night for a room and shouldn't have to deal with a fence is selfish and in light of what happened to that boy disgusting.
Well it is MY vacation so yes, I will be selfish on MY vacation when it comes to spending MY money.
I do agree that the lawyers told them to do this though, future liabilty has something to do with it but they also wanna save face as much as possible right now too.
Some of you guys have gone batship crazy tonight. Way to keep it classy.
This thread has really shown people's true colors. Many people being of the selfish variety and caring more (in an angry fashion) that rope-fences are being constructed than the unfortunate reason they are being installed. Disney is a haven for lawsuits, they're going to take every precaution they need to.
Like I said last night, 12hours after this attack happened you know how many families and kids were having the time of their lives meeting a princess, riding thunder mountain or just walking down Main St USA, were those people being selfish because they still wanted to have a great time on their vacation? I'm sorry for the family, it's gotta hurt but I don't know them at all.
Some people really need to get a grip.
The only areas Disney is likely to alter are the beach areas where they meet the water.
Not all of the grassy slopes, and not along every stretch of water throughout the park system.
They only need to protect where beach meets water so that a guest strolling the shoreline won't get picked off by an ambush predator.
And no, they don't need to build gator proof or people proof barriers. That's not the idea,
Probably install rocks, or boardwalk, or small walls - possibly a combination of all three depending on where they are doing it, and according to the design aesthetics of the particular area.
Really?? Because attacks happen here all the time right? You act like this place hasn't been open almost 50yrs and this wasn't the first death. People getting ambushed, seriously? Id say hundreds of thousands of people have walked on that beach at night and this was the first of its kind.
I just find it interesting that a guest Died in the most horrific fashion a guest can die in the Walt Disney World resort and your major complaint is a fence being put up at a resort.
I don't, it was a horrific death for those involved but life goes on, people move on, especially those of us who weren't effected by this at all like most people posting here. Sure it may hit you as a parent but let's be honest, kids are killed everyday in this country in accidents but no one gets bent out of shape on that. If this family was on vacation but out side of Disney World and the same exact thing happen then this wouldn't even make the news. But since it was Disney it has to be a big deal and they have to show everyone that they are doing their best not to let this happen again so they have to over react. Guess we'll wait and see what the permanent solution will be.
