I basically accepted all the myths surrounding Disneyland as true while writing “Backstage Disneyland” - and then created a few more of my own in keeping with the park’s mythology.
Main Street USA is modeled after Walt Disney’s home town of Marceline, Missouri? Sure. A warren of tunnels weave underneath the entire park? Why not. Walt’s cryogenically-frozen head lays buried under the castle? It could be true.
My favorite myth - that turns out to be fact - didn’t make it into the book: A regulation-size basketball hoop inside the peak of the Matterhorn. I’ll have to save that setting for a follow-up to “Backstage Disneyland.”
