There isn’t a regulation basketball court inside Disneyland’s Matterhorn — what exists is a small climbers’ break area with a single hoop mounted on plywood, reportedly added by the park’s mountaineering crew in the 1970s. This bit of lore persists because it captures how backstage spaces feed public imagination; does anyone have a dated photo or primary source pinning the hoop’s initial installation or any changes around the 1995 refurbishment?
This rumor drives me nuts — when I did a facilities walk-through in 2013, the “court” was a single rim on a plywood backboard in the climbers’ break room, plus a couple folding chairs… If you want a primary-ish source, Snopes pulled quotes from former CMs and pins it to the 1970s: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/matterhorn-basketball-court/; small caveat, photos are scarce because cameras backstage were a no-go. Anyone sitting on a dated crew bulletin or safety memo that mentions the hoop?
