thanks dlkozy, I just love taking pictures at the park and the tram was a special treat.

Elderp, the pirate is "Fortune Red" and he usually is in an alcove at the pirate's gift shop, you know the one that is directly to your right as you leave POTC. He, for a small fee of 50 cents, will tell your fortune.

He's not always there but has been for the last couple of months. Every now and then they get the pirate coin making device working and will trade it off for Fortune Red. But the coin maker is very old and doesn't last very long so if you ever see it there, get your coin that you can personalize and treasure it.

That fortune teller was Esmerelda, when I was a teenager.

llanatoye, could you be my official picture taker for life? :)

oh, STiL, I had completely forgotten about Esmerelda, she was there also at one time. They must alternate them in between break downs.

I would be honored to be an official almost anything, but especially your photo taker for life. Does that mean I have to follow you around like a papparazzi?

We'll be skipping hand in hand, laughing our heads off (well, maybe only in HM) and having a ball! :)

The tram brought back some memories. I'd like to have that to take the kids back and forth to school.
BTW, nice pics. I love looking at other's shots of DL.

I believe the old trams are also used to shuttle cast members between TDA and the Harbor employee gate.

Neat music, too, llanatoye! Have your fortune "red". How darling! And the Elizabeth Swann quote:

"I'm not entirely sure I've had enough rum to allow that kind of talk..."

I guess she'll need to head on over to the Pukin' Meet. ;)
