From me to them, this was a tragic event and truly my heart goes out to you. Enough about trying to assign blame.

Normally, I would agree. If you are wandering around hot, humid, surrounded by Oceans and swampland- Florida, you should expect that there will be animals- wild, dangerous animals that you're not familiar with at home.
Caveat emptor and don't get all shite faced, when you go for a stroll in the woods or put your fool hand into some tepid water, searching for your golf ball.
But this is Disneyland, whose virtual entire modus operandi, is to encourage the worlds' children, really little children to come, relax, play and enjoy. And when you deliberately stage a little white sand beach, right next to an area of open water and adjacent to an uber expensive resort, no parent, let alone kid, would have the slightest idea that it was literally infested with free moving gators.
In addition, Disney deliberately decided to camouflage the real danger with that "deep water" nonsense. They will pay heavily for their choice; not as heavily as the poor parents, of course.
