Dputies are 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 are searching the waters and put crime-scene tape around the water. Multiple emergency vehicles filled the front drive of the Victorian-style hotel and a helicopter hovered overhead.
Silva said the child has not been found.
Some witnesses said they saw the boy along the beach area near the water, but no eye witnesses to him being dragged into the water were available for comment Tuesday night.
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.
