Parents Matt and Melissa were vacationing with their two-year-old son and daughter at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort.

As the family relaxed on the beach that night, Lane, who was at edges of the Seven Seas Lagoon, was snatched up by an alligator.

His parents tried to save their son but were unable to help as he was dragged into the water.

Since the tragic incident, Disney has installed fencing and new signs, replacing no swimming signs with new ones, reading:

"DANGER. ALLIGATORS AND SNAKES IN AREA. STAY AWAY FROM THE WATER. DO NOT FEED THE WILDLIFE."

The family has expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of support.
