WDW Pirates - I rode it today

I beg to differ. The Matterhorn was not a commerical for Third Man on the Mountain. And though the Fantasyland Castle was hastily renamed for an upcoming release, only one of the Fantasyland dark rides was tied in to a remotely recent movie, and none to anything upcoming.

Since then, during Walt's time, there were - count 'em - zero product placements in attractions and structures (though entertainment had plenty of proto-synergy).

Swiss Family Treehouse was well after the fact. There were no other movie tie-ins, period.

Even post-Walt ... Star Tours, Indiana Jones and Splash Mountain were years, ahem - decades - after the films they tied in with.

Sorry, but the product placement of Commericals of the Caribbean is a Disneyland first!
