Finding Aurora!

[eeyoregirl]

My DD6 LOVES Princess Aurora. Is there anywhere else to see her besides the Princess breakfast? I think I saw her out of the corner of my eye in passing last year outside of Tony's, but the line was soooo long. We were running out of the park to get somewhere, so I didn't mention it.

I want to surprise DD6; help!

Thanks in advance!!!

We have seen her many many times doing meet and greets in World Showcase in Epcot. Most of the time she appears underneath the grove of trees along the path the leads to International Gateway (IG). This path is located right between England and France. We usually stay at Boardwalk so we use IG the exit epcot and go back to our hotel... and that is when we have passed her - usually in the mid to late afternoon. Sometimes she is alone and sometimes appears with Snow White.
On a few occasions she has been standing on the other side on the IG turnstiles, but you could see her there before you would need to exit. Then just pop right back into the park. It is a nice place to see her because a low traffic flow there means hardly any line...and that means more personal attention.
I have never seen this meet and greet listed on the entertainment guide (still check though) but it seems to happen regularly so I would ask a few CMs. I would ask the CMs at the International Gateway turnstiles if I were you...since that is where she appears they would know more about it. In my experience if one CM doesn't know - ask another.

Good Luck!

We saw her in a little garden in the France pavilion. There was a little walkway beside one of the stores to get to it. We saw her as we approached the pavillion, and then hurried to figure out how to find her as she was alone! On our way between the two stores (it was closed in, not an open path), we saw Belle standing all alone too in a little room off the store. While we had seen both princesses at CRT, it was great because not only did our kids get lots of attention and better pictures, they were not as shy as on our first day at WDW with CRT the first thing. We'll have to remember the other 'hot spot" for next time!

I know its expensive but i HIGHLY suggest the "My Princess Tea Party" at the Grand Floridian. My Neice (also 6) did it in december and she STILL talks about and still has her doll. We have over 100 Photos from the event as well. If i remember right it was like $200 for a parent and child. Very special memories for her and her mother, I think she'll remember how her favorite princess sat and talked to her for almost 15 minutes and gave her a rose and a special best friend doll... and she still wears the braclet and refuses to remove it.

Totally Priceless...I hope they still have it when i have kids of my own.

She is in Toon Town in back where you wait in line to get photos and autographs. Also dancing in the store there with kiddos right before closing (I think the store is called County Bounty?). My 7 yr old had to have that pink Aurora dress!! We all love it but........$$$!!!

We also saw her at the international gateway, with no lines! Also, Cinderella and her fairy godmother were there, and Pocahontas! Did I mention no lines? Very nice because they spend lots of time with the children that way!

In June 04 we got her autograph while we were waiting to be seated in Tony's at MK.

Princess Kayley (DD6) and I thank you in advance. I will definitely keep my eyes open at the International Gateway. I am also looking into the Princess Tea Party; I have already booked the Wonderland Tea Party.

Again, thanks a lot for the tips!

We have also seen her at the International Gateway.

We saw her there as well. No line either! She was all alone.

We saw her at the Princess Breakfast, Toon Town in MK, and in the France pavillion in Epcot. She was in the little library room where Belle usually is. The rest of the time, Belle and the Beast were in there.
