Princess Aurora, also known as Briar Rose, is the timeless protagonist of Walt Disney’s 1959 masterpiece Sleeping Beauty. In 2026, she stands at the center of the Disney universe as her namesake castle serves as the primary icon for Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary Celebration.

The “Aurora” Live-Action Reimagining (2026 News)

In late 2025 and early 2026, reports surfaced that Disney is developing a new live-action project titled “Aurora.” Rather than a direct remake of the 1959 film, this project is described as a cultural reimagining of the Sleeping Beauty mythos. While Disney has yet to confirm a cast, the film is rumored to explore a new setting, sparking significant conversation among the Disney fandom regarding the future of the classic Princess lineup.

Aurora at the Disneyland 70th Anniversary

From now through August 9, 2026, guests visiting Disneyland Park can see Aurora in her exclusive 70th Anniversary attire. Her gown for this jubilee features a stunning ombre fade from pale pink to light blue—finally settling the “Make it Pink! Make it Blue!” debate. She is a featured performer in the returning Paint the Night Parade and makes daily appearances in the “Celebrate Happy” Cavalcade.

Where to Meet Aurora in 2026

Disneyland Park: Look for her near the Royal Hall in Fantasy Faire or wandering near the Snow White Wishing Well to the right of the castle.
EPCOT (Walt Disney World): Aurora meets daily at the France Pavilion in the manicured gardens near the gazebo. Check the My Disney Experience app for times, typically starting at 12:30 PM.
Magic Kingdom: She is a regular host at Cinderella’s Royal Table and often appears at Princess Fairytale Hall.

Interesting Aurora Trivia:

The Original Voice: Aurora was originally voiced by Mary Costa, who was personally chosen by Walt Disney for her ethereal operatic quality.
Stained Glass Legacy: In 2026, the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough remains a top-rated “hidden gem,” featuring 3D dioramas and stained glass that tell her story in the upper levels of the castle.
