Disney World puts up a fence around the lagoon where tragic boy, 2, was snatched by an alligator
Resort also erects warning signs near spot where tot drowned
DISNEY World is putting up warning signs and temporary barriers at its Florida resorts after a two-year-old was snatched by an alligator and drowned.
The signs warn visitors of "alligators and snakes in area" and also tell tourists to stay away from the water and not feed wildlife.
Spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler said: "We continue to evaluate processes and procedures for our entire property.
"We are installing signage and temporary barriers at our resort beach locations and are working on permanent, long-term solutions at our beaches."
There was a no swimming sign at the lakeside beach at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa where the two-year-old boy and his family were staying.
But there were no signs warning about alligators.
The toddler's dad tried frantically to save the child when the alligator snatched him late Tuesday from roughly a foot of water, but could not pry his son from the animal's jaws.

Divers found the boy's body Wednesday in murky water about six feet-deep, just 10 or 15 yards from where he was taken.
Disney shut down all of its Florida resort beaches and marinas out of precaution after the incident.
The spokeswoman added: "We are reinforcing training with our cast for reporting sightings and interactions with wildlife and are expanding our communication to guests on this topic."
Alligators are found in large bodies of fresh water across Florida, but they rarely attack humans.
Before this incident, there had only been 22 deaths from unprovoked alligator bites in Florida since 1948, according to the Florida fish and wildlife service.
The Grand Floridian is part of the massive Disney resort complex that includes several theme parks, water parks, hotels and golf courses.
