You wanted the redhead, well now you got her! As we reported back in may, a brassy buccaneer known as Redd will be arriving at Disneyland. Well mateys, this fierce and independent pirate will be sailing into New Orleans Square on Friday, June 8!
The redhead has been part of the auction scene in the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction since it first opened, but last year Disney announced that it would be reimagining that section of the ride. The attraction has already opened in Disney World with its new scene and refurbishment for the attraction at Disneyland is currently underway. The attraction is schedued to reopen with fastpasses the same day Redd starts making her apperances.
In Disney World’s new version the famed redhead is no longer being auctioned off. She has a new look and a new attitude! Now she sports a rifle and clearly isn’t taking any guff from any scurvy pirates.
A bit mysterious by nature, Redd travels to various ports throughout the Caribbean—selling rum and collecting coin. She has been given a full back story and even told Disney when asked if she knew Captain Jack Sparrow, “That Sparrow owes me a new ship. Wouldn’t be surprised if he found himself in irons once more. If you see Mister Sparrow, I’m lookin’ for ‘em!”
Keep an eye out for Redd—you may encounter this mysterious pirate as she travels from port to port throughout the Caribbean!
