A fence is going up around the beach at Disney's Grand Floridian resort, the site of a gator attacking a toddler earlier this week.
- Disney workers build a rope fence at Grand Floridian resort
- Lane Graves was killed when a gator dragged him into Seven Seas Lagoon
- Disney is reviewing protocols
Viewer Tharin White took photos of workers building a rope fence along the beach line Friday at the Seven Seas Lagoon. The fence won't do much to keep alligators off the beach, but it should help keep guests from wading into the water.
Disney also released an image Friday of the warning sign it will be installing at resort beaches.
"We are installing signage and temporary barriers at our resort beach locations and are working on permanent, long-term solutions at our beaches," Walt Disney World Jacquee Wahler said in a statement. She said the company is reinforcing training with cast members and expanding communication to guests about wildlife at the parks.
Two-year-old Lane Graves was wading in the lagoon with family when a gator grabbed him and dragged him into the water. His father tried to get his son away from the gator.
A medical examiner said the boy died from drowning and traumatic injuries.
Walt Disney World says it monitors its wildlife and regularly removes gators from its water areas of its theme parks. However, Disney said it will review its protocols in the wake of the boy's death, including signage.
No swimming signs could be seen as the crews worked on the fence Friday. However, the signs don't make it clear that gators may be in the water.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office posted the following address on its Facebook page Friday, so that people could send the Graves family cards or letters and offer condolences.
