Anyways, back on topic. If you search you can find videos from years ago that include people at the resorts feeding the alligators. I don't know if that surely means they did nothing because the rich guests like to feed the alligators but I did see a supposed Disney employee imply such a thing.
Personally, it seemed more like idiocy to me. In all the videos the alligators were fairly small and no one at the park has been attacked by one before. I think they just didn't consider that the alligators will get more aggressive and dangerous as they get bigger. And thoughts like "well they're not bothering anyone so let's not panic the guests" seem likely.
I don't think they were deliberately doing nothing over a situation they knew to be dangerous just for rich guests. I don't believe for a moment that Disney would lose a huge about of income if there were suddenly no alligators. They were irresponsible though. And I'm glad they're going to put up signs now.
