'Pirates of the Caribbean' reopens with Disneyland debut of female pirate Redd

ANAHEIM, Calif. (KABC) -- Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride reopened Friday with a new female pirate onboarding.

Her name is Redd, and she's described as a "brassy buccaneer" who will take center stage as guests pass through the town of Puerto Dorado.

The ride reopened without the bride auction that used to be featured inside.

Disneyland's long awaited change to its "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride is underway with a new female pirate, Redd, joining the crew.

Redd was also in the theme park's New Orleans Square interacting with guests and taking photos on Friday.

Pirates of the Caribbean reopened after being closed in April for routine maintenance.

Disney is the parent company of ABC7.
