Your opinion. Not necessarily correct. Point is. Disney is liable, period for its failure to provide a safe resort for its visitors. When you think about it, the only possible way to not be liable is if they maybe asked the tourists to sign a waiver of responsibility for the resort if a tourist got hurt or killed by a wild animal at their resort. It wouldn't be out of the question for a resort or recreation facility to ask a patron to sign such a thing. Hell, even amusement park rider see signs warning the possible danger inherent in some of their rides as in heart attacks, danger to pregnant women what with the seat belt, etc. They also have height restrictions for a lot of rides.

AGain, you are way too judgemental about what the parents did or didn't know as if you were there yourself. Neither of us have any clue if the parents were negligent.

“Melissa and I are broken. We will forever struggle to comprehend why this happened to our sweet baby, Lane. As each day passes, the pain gets worse, but we truly appreciate the outpouring of sympathy and warm sentiments we have received from around the world. We know that we can never have Lane back, and therefore, we intend to keep his spirit alive through the Lane Thomas Foundation. It is our hope that through the foundation we will be able to share with others the unimaginable love Lane etched in our hearts. In addition to the foundation, we will solely be focused on the future health of our family and will not be pursuing a lawsuit against Disney. For now, we continue to ask for privacy as we focus on our family.”

I guess Disney paying through the nose isnt going to happen.

I'm assuming there won't be a lawsuit because Disney already paid them. They're still bad parents though.

I dont know if they paid them per se, but I would assume that they will donate to the foundation they are starting.

On the news today I heard the family declined to say how much Disney paid them for a settlement.

I'm sure part of the settlement had a no disclosure clause.

Probably very true. The settlement was smart for Disney because they could not have benefited from the negative publicity.

Disney already got bad publicity recently for illegally firing employees, being sued and losing. They couldn't afford for this to drag out either.

What you don't want more kids from Nebraska getting dragged off by Gators
