Aurora - Princess Tea Cups - Hidden Mickey 2009

This charming pin features Princess Aurora from the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty, uniquely reimagined as an inhabitant of the iconic Mad Tea Party attraction. As part of the 2009 Hidden Mickey Series, this Open Edition pin was originally released as a mystery pack pull at Disneyland Resort. The design captures Aurora's likeness nestled inside a pastel-colored teacup, accented by a subtle Hidden Mickey icon on the side of the cup. The Hidden Mickey series is a staple for Disney pin collectors, as these pins were traditionally distributed to guests through Cast Member pin trading boards and lanyards throughout the parks. Because they were not sold directly on cards in shops, they carry a special allure for collectors who enjoy the hunt. Aurora remains one of the most popular Disney Princesses, and her appearance in this whimsical teacup style makes it a highly sought-after piece for character collectors. The pin measures approximately 1.25 inches and features a clean, simple aesthetic that fits perfectly with the 2009 Princess Tea Cups set. Its status as an Open Edition pin means it was produced in larger quantities, yet its age and the nature of its original distribution have led to increased interest over time. Collectors value this piece not only for the elegant portrayal of Aurora but also for its nostalgia as a representative of the 2009 Disneyland Resort trading era.
