Someone's priorities need a bit of a wake-up call, IMO. Sorry, but I have to ask: Have the RW DeSantis minions had this effect on him?

likewise insuring they do not illegally feed them is a bad thing? You lost me.

While chained to the shore, covered in bacon, I'd have no objection.

They are fast on land. I came across a baby one on the grass when I was a student at UF. It reared up and growled at me. Could have been a nasty bite.

I assure everyone that my son in law would never feed a gator. Watching other idiots feed gators is a different thing

I used to have my own membership back when the kids were much younger. I used to go to WDW by myself on a frequent basis to play Who Wants To Be a Millionaire at Hollywood studios. Back then you could on get onto the hot seat every 30 days. Everyone in my family could get onto the Hot Seat without much trouble. I ended up getting onto the WWTBAM hot seat around 16 times.

I had no trouble selling my points for a profit when the kids were in college and law school and WWTBAM closed

The unit we are in has a full kitchen and we are right next to the Magic Kingdom. I like not paying $5 for a Diet Coke
