Well, Disney uses bromine instead of chlorine to keep the water clean. That has a distinct smell and smell triggers nostalgia. I can see the idea behind this, but the scam prices are laughable.

(Edit: they use it because it's safer to handle in large quantities, easier on skin and clothes, and performs much better keeping the water clean. It's more expensive than chlorine which is why pools rarely use it.)

Smell triggers nostalgia, not bromine specifically. The smell of bromine treated water brings back memories of Disney water rides for a lot of people. Unfortunately for me, I just remember "It's a Small World", and then that damn song gets stuck in my head for ages.
