I know I'm supposed to be talking about movies, but ...

Disney's a movie company, and Disneyworld is a brilliant bit of movie merchandising. But I'll avoid blathering on about my (obviously commercialized, yet astoundingly fun) holiday and stick to one bit of movie crossover: The Pirates of the Caribbean. I remember going on this ride as a child. It was fun, there was cheesy music perfect for a kid, and there were hookers running around. Good times. But now there are a few changes. Davey Jones is projected onto a mist screen, Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow pops up in every room, and at the end of the ride the rider is deposited into a Pirates of the Caribbean gift shop. Does the media destroy childhood memories? Does it enhance them? Maybe being able to get a Capt Sparrow hat complete with dreadlocks is a fun way to remember your trip.
