Disney has unveiled the sign that will be installed where two-year-old Lane Graves was dragged to his death by an alligator.
It will be put up at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in Orlando after the company faced growing questions as to why there was nothing warning guests about the deadly predators.
Resort staff have also erected temporary barriers around the water's edge in the wake of the attack.
There was previously a sign on the beach saying: 'No Swimming', but many thought that wasn't enough.
The dangerous reptiles had even been spotted lurking in the water days before the horrific incident.
Other close encounters were also reported in other parts of the park.
Lane, whose body was found 15 hours after he was pulled underwater, hadn't even been swimming at the time.
He had just been wading near the edge of the lagoon.
The new post will read: 'Danger. Alligators and snakes in area. Stay away from the water. Do not feed the wildlife.'
Jacquee Wahler, Vice President of Walt Disney World Resort, told Daily Mail Online in a statement: 'We are installing signage and temporary barriers at our resort beach locations and are working on permanent, long-term solutions at our beaches.
'We continue to evaluate processes and procedures for our entire property, and, as part of this, we are reinforcing training with our cast for reporting sightings and interactions with wildlife and are expanding our communication to guests on this topic.'
Florida's legal community predicted a multi-million-dollar payout for the boy's family.
Matt Morgan, an Orlando lawyer, predicted a multi-million-dollar settlement for wrongful death.
'Every parent across America has had this family's nightmare running through their minds and it's heartbreaking to think that this may have been a preventable tragedy,' Morgan told the Times
