Last week, when an intern posted the photo of the instructions on her Twitter account, the company fired her, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

The Orlando Sentinel inquired about the termination and discovered that “on Friday morning, Magic Kingdom Vice President Dan Cockerell paid a personal visit to Sullivan to offer her the job back”.
In addition, it also said “Please do not say that we have seen them before”.
After coming across the sign, Sullivan felt she had to choose between her job and doing the right thing.
Now, according to the Orlando Sentinel, an intern working at Walt Disney World was recently dismissed after she tweeted a picture of a sign in the break room instructing staff about the “correct and appropriate” response to guests’ queries about alligators.
Sullivan has no regrets and told the reporter she had been on the resort beach only a short time before the attack happened. They added that they do not know who posted the sign and have not reprimanded anyone for it yet.
Disney removed the offending sign, claiming it was never authorized, the Associated Press reported. She will continue to work until the end of this month, when her internship was originally set to end.
Lane Graves, a two-year-old boy, was killed by an alligator at the park last month.
“I was very offended by it and I was pretty vocal about it”, Sullivan said.
Authorities found his body “intact” in the water 17 hours later. An alligator dragged a 2-year-old boy into the water while he was wading in the Seven Seas Lagoon at Walt Disney World Tuesday night.
The beaches have all since been reopened but a fence has now been erected and signs put up warning of alligators and snakes in the area.
It told employees to tell guests they weren’t aware of any gators in the water.

“The managers can and do make their own signs to put up there”, the source told People.
