I'm not saying it couldn't have contributed, but there are some who tried to blame the whole problem on the bungalows. The bungalows are really close to the ferries (as you said was commented on by the unofficial guide writers). Large moving boats and loud noises are not the ideal environment for gators. There is no actual evidence that the gator in question or any of the ones caught and destroyed were being fed by guests at the Poly. In the wild gators can travel large distances to find food so it's possible the gator in question was not even a frequent visitor of the 7 seas lagoon. I've personally witnessed people feeding gators at other WDW resorts too. Some Reedy Creek Fire Department workers admitting to feeding gators by their station. It was/is rampant around the whole property, not just at those 20 bungalows.
No, its a contributing factor. It attracted alligators to that side of the lagoon. There's not any one thing that caused this to occur and there's not any one thing you can do to fix it.
Although.... there's three easy things that can be done immediately. 1- Stop feeding the gators (you idiots). 2 - Hotel management & staff taking reports of alligators very seriously and calling in pest management. 3 - Stop feeding the gators, you bloody simple peasant idiots!
