Cinderella Statue

[FreshDood]

I, myself, have never seen this statue. But I have heard of a statue at WDW of Cinderella and depending on your point of view of the statue, Cinderella is in rags or a gown.
If this statue truly exists, I would love to know how it works and maybe see pictures.

I've never seen it, but I don't think it's rags -> gown. I think it's a water fountain, and from a child's perspective (or if you're bending over drinking from the fountain) it looks like there's a crown on her head. If you're an adult, it's above her head.

I may be wrong though..

Edit: Here's a picture, actually. http://travel.webshots.com/photo/1104802597027495723rJcEvD Okay so it's not a drinking fountain, but it's a fountain nonetheless =)

Actually, there are two drinking fountains attached to the fountain, they're just not visible in that photo.

As for the whole crown thing, while it *does* line up, I've always wondered if it was truly intentional, or if it's just a coincidence.

According to a Keys to the Kingdom tour guide, the design was intentional. Also, the drinking fountains around the statue are all placed at a child's height. Thus, adults must lean forward ("bowing to the princess") to get a drink.

Not rags or gowns; it's whether she is wearing an oddly-positioned tiara painted on the wall behind the statue.
