...They don't care what size the shoe is or whatfoot is inside the shoe. They just see a shoe," hesaid...
MAGICAL THINGS, SHOES. Myths and fairy tales are cluttered with them. There is the old woman who lived in a shoe and the young woman, in Hans Christian Andersen's The Red Shoes, who died for one. Cinderella's glass slippers and Dorothy's ruby pumps still tiptoe around the imagination. In the ancient Indian epic the Ramayana, the exiled king leaves behind a single memorable token: a pair of gold-encrusted shoes.

Mice with sewing needles and birds holding ribbons in their beaks adorn the capitals in l'Auberge de Cendrillon, the park's only French restaurant (try the dessert they call Cinderella's Slipper: chocolate mousse in a white-chocolate shoe mold). Dumbo snouts serve as the spouts for fresh water in man-made Lake Buena Vista. At the Hotel Cheyenne's Chuckwagon Cafe, which has antlers in all of its decorating, plastic horseshoes hold the condiments, and nailed to the wall is a dinner bell shaped in a silhouette...
