Disney World is known for being the happiest place on Earth. A place where you can enjoy time with your family, relax, and have all your dreams come true. For many, this is the experience Disney World consistently provides, but last June one family left this magical kingdom shattered and heartbroken. The death of the little boy at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa was tragic, and likely avoidable. If you're unaware of what happened (which is possible, as Disney did an exceptional job keeping it out of the news), a child was standing by the edge of a lagoon inside a Disney Resort and was attacked and killed by an alligator. The boy's body was soon after recovered by authorities. The question that was raised is, how did the alligators come to be there? And was Disney aware of their presence?
Steve Brown wrote an article arguing that Disney must have been aware of the animal's presence in the lagoon, and exploits how tackily the case was handled (in his opinion). He says that while Disney promises a "wildlife free" vacation, they were fully aware of the animal's habitation, and failed at providing a safe environment for their guests. He thought they should be to blame for the incident, and scolds the shady settlement plan.
Here is an excerpt from Brown's article exposing the Disney Corporation, and its attempts to cover up any sort of media leak regarding an alligator infestation that happened months before the tragic accident involving the boy last June.
He also expels any sort of claim that aims to paint Disney in the clear. 
It is obvious that Brown detests Disney, and it's exceptional ability to avoid any and all negative media backlash, and while I'm not sure how I feel about the corporation's ability to pay their way out of problems, I must say it is remarkably impressive.
