Fortune Red is an animatronic pirate located in the New Orleans Square area of Disneyland.  Red was originally part of the Pirates Arcade Museum on Royal Street in New Orleans Square. The Pirates Arcade opened at a similar time to Pirates of the Caribbean and was one of the "attractions" in New Orleans Square in the 1970's.  In the early 1980's the arcade was replaced with the Pieces of Eight store, which sells pirate themed merchandise. When the arcade left, Fortune Red remained in a corner of the shop.  In the past few years Fortune Red has moved out of Pieces of Eight, but not  too far. He’s now in a passageway just outside the shop. 

​This piece of Disneyland history will tell you your pirate fortune for a mere 25 cents.

Fortune Red is one of three fortune telling animatronics at Disneyland. You can read our posts about Esmerelda and Shrunken Ned for more information and where to find them.
