I just watched this CNN video. A sinkhole is swallowing a resort near Disney World.

Any hydrologists/geologists out there that can ease our minds about the Disney parks and resorts? Crazy stuff!

I would think that Disney is keenly aware of this problem and doing their best to be proactive about it. I'm sure they would not want to have one of these articles appear about WDW itself. Not the best way to draw tourists.
With Disney's deep pockets and extreme potential for loss is there anyway to detect these before they collapse?
After I read this all I could think was ' this would be my luck that disney world would be sucked into a sinkhole when i just paid off my trip '
But as long as it doesn't suck up your resort, the crowds will be lower----
I have read that problem areas can be detected and shored up before a hole opens. I would assume that Disney makes sure to keep up on these issues.

The best protection I can advise is for everyone in your party to pick a partner, keep 25 feet apart and tether yourselves together with rope.
Hope this helps. I'll let you know if the ab thing ever happens.
