Woman Caught Swimming Topless At Disney World Resort

A Walt Disney World guest was caught swimming topless at a Resort hotel earlier this week. Shockingly, that is not explicitly forbidden at Disney, per the property rules.

The reported incident occurred at Disney's Port Orleans Resort and was caught on video. However, the footage was removed from Facebook.

Walt Disney World Guests who witnessed the woman swimming topless in the river reported the incident to Cast Members, who informed them that, technically, "there is no rule against swimming in the river."

However, it is advised not to swim in any bodies of water other than pools at the Resort hotels. The waters in Central Florida are known to have dangerous wildlife, such as alligators or bacteria that are harmful to humans.

A video of the woman swimming was shared in a video on Facebook, per WDWNT, however, the video has since been removed, likely due to n-dity.

While you would think that exposing private body parts would be forbidden at Disney -- a theme park geared towards families -- toplessness is not explicitly listed on Disney World's property rules.

The website does, however, state "Guests using the pools, spas, fitness centers or other Disney Resort hotel facilities must also adhere to the rules posted and applicable at those facilities."

Disney advises guests not to swim in any bodies of water other than pools at the Resort hotels because of the danger that could lurk in outside waters -- including alligators.

In fact, in 2016, a 2-year-old Nebraska boy was killed by an alligator at a Walt Disney World hotel, according to a report from CNN.

Matt and Melissa Graves said they brought their children to the beach at Disney's Grand Floridian and Spa around 8:30 p.m. to watch the movie 'Zootopia'. Their two-year-old, Lane, went near the lagoon, which is when Matt Graves, who was a few feet away from his son, heard a splash. Matt initially thought it was a fish, but when he looked over, he saw his son bent over the water and watched as the gator grabbed Lane, biting down on his head and neck.

According to CNN, "Matt Graves jumped into the water and tried to open the gator’s mouth, but it injured the father’s hands and took off with Lane."

Another witness, who spoke to CNN, said he saw Matt Graves grab his son’s legs to pull him free, but the alligator was so strong, it pulled the boy further out before disappearing underwater.

After 16 hours of searching Seven Seas Lagoon, Lane's body was found submerged with only the wounds from the initial attack. Investigators believe Matt spooked the alligator, who then dropped the boy as it went underwater.

Per CNN, "Authorities said they are confident they caught the offending alligator but acknowledge they are not sure. In the end, the findings of the report indicate the victim was an unfortunate match for a specific predator seeking prey, and his family had no warning the child was in any potential danger."

While “no swimming” signs were located near the water at the lagoon prior to the attack, there were no warnings of the potential danger of alligators. Disney has since updated warning signs to include this hazard and has installed wide boulder walls and rope fences along the Seven Seas Lagoon, Disney’s Grand Floridan Resort and Spa, and the other Magic Kingdom Resort hotels that reside on the water.

Last year, a baby alligator was spotted inside Magic Kingdom, but luckily, it did not seem to approach any guests.  One social media user caught the reptile on camera and shared a video with TikTok.

Since 2016, over 200 alligators have been removed from the parks and their surrounding areas. They often live in the lakes by the resorts and hotels, though sometimes they will venture into the Parks.

While Walt Disney World is the Most Magical Place on Earth, it does not have complete control over wildlife, and guests visiting should use caution around lakes, ponds, lagoons, and other areas of water that are not the Resort pools.
