At Cape Canaveral they installed chain link fence and at the top they curved it backwards so the gators could not climb over.

from looking at google earth it appears to me that there are two water accesses to this lake. one appears to be a concrete duct that there is a car tunnel under. surely that could be easily blocked with chain link fencing.
the other appears to be a long narrow canal that would be a little more difficult to block but it would be possible.

Sorry you are ignoring one thing, gators get out and walk from one water body to the next. Like this:



I took that shot where I used to work. When they are young they are small and a very young gator would slip right thru chain link. You would have to surround a body of water with fink mesh fence and constantly patrol it to keep them out. Disney visitors probably would not care for the sensation of being in a fenced prison.

Some things you just cannot practically engineer away. And people need to accept that and behave with some caution around wild critters. The only thing that I have seen that Disney did wrong was not putting up warning signs about gators.

Let me point out that the rooms at this resort run between $500 and $1000 a night and people with that much money have a certain mindset which exempts them from follows rules made for the common herd.

this is pure krap

I would like to wager that if the water access is cut off, that the number of gators walking thru the grounds of disneyland, et.al. would be minimal, certainly reduced from open water access. and if any gators go thru a chain link fence they can be harvested when they get to a larger size, IIRC Disney has a 4 ft max allowed to stay?
