Fortune Telling in Disneyland


Shrunken Ned, whom we visited at the Adventureland Bazaar in last Friday's article, is but one of a collection of unique fortune tellers to be found throughout Disneyland. Near the exit of Pirates of the Caribbean in New Orleans Square is Fortune Red. Originally part of the Pirates Arcade Museum, he now stands alone, ready to dispense a fortune card for those willing to depart with a bit o' treasure.

Meanwhile, over at the Penny Arcade on Main Street is Esmeralda, a gypsy fortune teller happy to predict the path your life might take. Dropping quarters into these contraptions and receiving a fortune card in return has been a popular pastime at Disneyland for decades.


To visit Fortune Red and have your, uh... fortune read, check out this page at SorcerersWorkshop.org.

The Disney Parks Blog had a great video of Esmeralda back in June. You can find that at this link.

To listen to the wisdom of Shrunken Ned (as well as Aladdin's Other Lamp and other Disneyland audio treasures), pay a visit to Theme Park Audio Archives.
