Shopping in the Wild Frontier

As we found out two days ago, even the shops at Parc Disneyland , Paris have theming spread throughout them. In just one of the many ways Imagineers never want us to forget that we are in a world of fantasy.

One of the shops in Frontierland, Disneyland Paris, is Tobias Norton and Sons Frontier Traders. A fun leather goods shop, themed like the merchants of the Wild, Wild West.
Of course, the theming of the shop doesn't just stop at its goods and facade, but the name also. Tobias Norton is a character from the 1955 Disney film Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. Known as Major Tobias Norton, the character was portrayed by William Bakewell in both the film, and the television series prior.
