1996

The Fortune Cookie

1996 was the year that Disneyland's "Main Street Electrical Parade" had its "Farewell Season."
Seizing upon this opportunity to suggest that the DorseyCard tradition might also be bidding a farewell, Don labelled the mailing boxes "So Long Season" and enclosed a fortune cookie, traditionally the final item at a meal. A fortune cookie is supposed to prophecy the future via
a cryptic message inside, and to retrieve the message (and your future), you must break the cookie (and break with the past). Since DorseyCard has become somewhat of a collector's item, this presented a dilemma for each recipient: to break or not to break? Don created 15 different fortunes and made sure that each recipient got an appropriate one.
