Well I mean you have to think about how bay lake is used everyday. Boat gas has a greater pollution quality than normal gas does, so bay lake is going to be polluted because of the large fairies they use everyday to transport guests. You also have to remember that not only is there just the fairies but the barges for the water parade, and water sports equipment you can rent at the Contemporary. But if Bay Lake does not have a concrete bottom, which I'm not sure if it does or doesn't, than just lake any other man made lakes it has to be drained and cleaned upon occasion which I never recall them doing, so it's probably quite nasty. Disney does have large signs all over the dock areas of the MK resorts that say do not swim in this water. Not only that but you also have to remember that all that property was a swap till Walt bought it, well hell some it still is a swap, and I'm sure upon occasion there are gators in the lake not saying that they last longer than a few days before they are removed and taken someplace better for their safety, but Gators aren't exactly known to like clean water. But I'll give a good example of how my city treats our man made lakes of which there are at least 10, every 10-15 years the lake is drained and the scum is removed and if they don't do it eventually the scum becomes toxic, my college actually pays to have the one in front of the school done every 5 years because our water ski team uses it practically everyday and they have no desire to have suit brought against them by some angry water skier's parents whose kid is sick from the water, and lemme tell ya you think Football parents are scary you have no idea till you meet a water skier's parents. But I've gone through this whole dog and pony show here to tell you yes it's polluted sorry I can be a bit long winded about enviromental stuff because it's kind of my passion...:shrug::lol:
Well jt, and god help me for saying this because I will probably never echo these words again, I agree with you. Florida is very very serious about any enviromental contamination. The only reason I can see that FL or SWFW MD, who is about 1,000,000x's scarier than any other FL enviromental organization, hasn't come after them is because it's connected to Bay Lake. But I still agree that Disney shouldn't have left it there to rot, I mean by doing this they have probably caused some of Florida's other less friendly and more shall we say slimmy creatures to join the cast at WDW, some which can kill you with just one bite. So as much as '74 is correct and it is part of the glory days at WDW, it is becoming a waste site. :shrug:
