This fountain is known as "Rags to Riches" because if you guests stand (actually, you may have to or kneel) in front of Cinderella and look at the painted mural behind it on the castle wall, a painted image of a crown appears to be sitting on top of the princess' head. Although an adult may have to get low to see it, this was designed intentionally so that when children look at the fountain, they can clearly see the crowned princess. * The opening day attractions in Fantasyland were, [[Dumbo the Flying Elephant]], [[it's a small world]], [[Snow White's Adventures]], the [[Mad Tea Party]], Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, The Mickey Mouse Revue and [[Cinderella's Golden Carousel]]. * The Sword in the Stone Ceremony used to take place several times each day in front of Cinderella's Golden Carousel.
