Toddler missing after alligator attack at Disney World

ORLANDO, Fla. — Deputies were searching for a young child who was dragged into the water by an alligator near Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
The 2-year-old child was dragged into the Seven Seas Lagoon about 9:30 p.m., Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Rose Silva said.
Deputies were searching the waters and put crime-scene tape around the water. Multiple emergency vehicles filled the front drive of the Victorian-style hotel.
Silva said the child had not been found.
The hotel is an upscale luxury resort owned by Disney. It is one of three hotels on the monorail line, just one stop away from the Magic Kingdom Park.
The child’s name was not available.
It was not clear if the child or his family were guests at the hotel.
No other details were immediately available.
