Sleeping Beauty aka Briar Rose aka Aurora

[princesscrazydaughte]

My daughter is a huge Briar Rose fan. Where are the most likely spots to find her. We are eating at the Norway Princess breakfast one morning, but I have been told that she often is not there. Thanks.

We have found her in Mickey's Toontown Fair tent and also out in front of the entrance of MK when the park opens.

I met Aurora in May (in the morning) in front of Expo Hall, right near where you enter Magic Kingdom. It was the first time I ever saw her, and I been to DisneyWorld 10 times in the last 7 years! I think she is one of the rarer characters to find. She was fun to talk to - she told me that she wasn't always at DisneyWorld since she had to spend alot of time tending to her castle at Disneyland!

DD5 loves Aurora! We have found her at CRT, (also sitting downstairs on her throne), in the back of the EXPO Hall/Tony's Town Square where we got DD's picture with Aurora, Snow White, and Cinderella, also she can occassionally be found in Mickey's Toontown Fair. We've only seen her wearing her blue dress. DD still wants to see her in her pink dress!

We saw Aurora at the Princess Storybook Breakfast at Epcot. My daughter almost fainted. She's her absolute fav.

I saw sleeping beauty and pochahontas at the international gateway in Epcot back in March

I've seen her in the past at the Expo Hall at Main Street around 11am or so. I think she does a few sets here if she is at the breakfast at the Castle, which is not always. You might also want to try the Character Connection at Innoventions West at EPCOT. I just got back from WDW this week and she was signing autographs there with Snow White and Mulan. The CM there said there are usually there sometime between 2 and 4.

We saw three times in May. Once by the International Gateway in Epcot and twice in the area where the Sky Cars (name?) used to be. This was the first trip in 15 trips=15 years we had ever seen her.

We've seen her on Mickey Avenue in MGM--near the Sound Stages--there is often several characters there. Alot of times it is hit or miss. Good Luck!

Thank you so much for all the advice. It is a must for us to find Briar Rose. I will write down all the suggestions and also ask the CMs when we get there!! I at least feel more hopeful that we will find her after reading all the posts.

Caught her at CRT - girls loved her! She was quite chatty. The girls were upset about her blue dress...we think she's supposed to wear pink and Cinderella's supposed to be the only one in blue (besides Belle, of course!). Anyone know why she's in blue??

Just to wet your whistle:

On the last trip at Christmas (breakfast at Norway):

December 2001 MVMCP behind the castle:

We found her on both of our last trips, I'm sure you'll see her!

I've seen her at the character greeting area where the submarine ride was in Fantasyland.

My granddaughter is a big Sleeping Beauty fan. She wants to be Aurora for Halloween...but only if she can wear the blue dress!

Aurora told us at the Princess Breakfast in Norway that she wears her blue dress one day and her pink dress the next day to keep Merriweather from zapping it with her wand. Remember, it was a disagreement among the two fairies about the color that sent the magic up the chimney in the hidden cottage in the woods and let Malificent's evil bird find Aurora on her 16th bday. By the way, we had a great visit with Aurora at the bfast. She danced with my daughter and taught her to curtsie. It was magical!
