Child Attacked By Alligator At Walt Disney World

Absolutely horrible news out of Disney World tonight. According to the Orlando Sentinel, a two-year-old child was attacked and dragged into the Seven Seas Lagoon at the Grand Floridian Resort at Walt Disney World at approximately 9:30 pm.

The incident happened just prior to the 10 pm fireworks show at a popular viewing area.

The Orange County Sheriff’s office is reporting that at approximately 9:30 pm this evening, an alligator grabbed hold of a two-year-old child on the beach of the Seven Seas Lagoon at the Grand Floridian Resort. The beach has been sealed off and search and rescue are searching for the child.

As of this point the child has not been found.

This incident is the latest in a horrible week for Orlando with the murder of 22 year-old Voice Star Christina Grimmie who was shot outside a concert venue while signing autographs and the brutal attack at the Orlando nightclub, Pulse which resulted in the death of 49 people.

Prayers for the family of the missing child are needed.

Please be careful around the water’s edge when visiting Florida. Alligators are abundant and are a threat to small children and pets.

About Rick Killingsworth

Rick visited the Magic Kingdom in 1971 for the first Christmas parade in their history. At nine years old, he was bitten by the Disney Bug. He can still remember the sights, the smells, and the sounds. It truly was magical. It would be twenty years before he could afford to take his young family back to β€œThe World.” It was the vacation of a lifetime, and they have been fortunate to go hundreds of times since. His daughters, now grown, still tear up when they see the castle (as does he).
