Walt Disney World has<span style="color: Red;">*</span>removed<span style="color: Red;">*</span>alligators and crocodiles from some of its iconic rides and shows after a 2-year-old Nebraska boy was killed by a gator,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>
according to the Miami<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Herald.
Louis, the trumpet-playing alligator from film
The Princess and the Frog, was pulled from the Friendship Faire castle show<span style="color: Red;">*</span>on June 23, the
Herald reported. Likewise, the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Tick-Tock Croc from
Peter Pan was removed from the Festival of Fantasy parade at Magic Kingdom days after the 2-year-old was killed by the alligator, according to guest reports.
Not sure if it was intentional or not, but Festival of Fantasy didn't have the crocodile float today... Take that for what you will

according to a report in the Orlando Sentinel.
