2025 Topps Disney Wonder #153 Aurora - Cartoon Princess: Sleeping Beauty Blooms in the Base Set!
Once Upon a Dream, There Was a Card I Could Not Stop Staring At
Hello, magical collectors! If you grew up humming a soft waltz while spinning around your living room, or if you ever watched a certain pink-and-blue debate between three very opinionated fairies, then today's card is going to hit you right in the heart. We are talking about the 2025 Topps Disney Wonder Card #153 - Aurora, the Cartoon Princess entry from the Base Set Cartoon Princess tier, and she is an absolute dream in cardboard form. 🌸
Meet Card #153: Aurora - Cartoon Princess
Aurora holds card number 153 in the 2025 Topps Disney Wonder Base Set, sitting proudly within the Cartoon Princess subsection that spans cards #151 through #163. This beautifully illustrated sub-tier is entirely dedicated to Disney's most iconic animated princesses rendered in that signature storybook art style that makes this set so special. Aurora is the third card in this princess run, nestled between Cinderella (#152) and Ariel (#154), and she absolutely holds her own in the best way possible.
The card's artwork captures Aurora in her beloved rose-pink gown, with her signature golden hair flowing softly around her. There is a painterly warmth to the illustration - soft pinks, golden tones, and a gentle glow that feels like afternoon sunlight through enchanted forest trees. Her expression is serene yet luminous, perfectly evoking that timeless Sleeping Beauty grace. The card background features soft, dreamlike pastel hues that pair beautifully with her dress, making this one of the more visually romantic pieces in the entire 190-card base set. The Topps Disney Wonder logo and card number are placed cleanly, letting the artwork breathe and shine.
The Cartoon Princess Series - A Complete Princess Dream
One of my absolute favorite things about 2025 Topps Disney Wonder is the Cartoon Princess sub-tier within the Base Set. Running from Card #151 (Snow White) all the way through Card #163 (Raya), this 13-card run is a love letter to Disney's animated princess legacy. Here is the full lineup collectors are chasing:
- #151 Snow White - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
- #152 Cinderella - Cinderella
- #153 Aurora - Sleeping Beauty
- #154 Ariel - The Little Mermaid
- #155 Belle - Beauty and the Beast
- #156 Jasmine - Aladdin
- #157 Pocahontas - Pocahontas
- #158 Mulan - Mulan
- #159 Tiana - The Princess and the Frog
- #160 Rapunzel - Tangled
- #161 Merida - Brave
- #162 Moana - Moana
- #163 Raya - Raya and the Last Dragon
Completing all 13 cards in this princess run is a must for Disney Princess collectors, and honestly, for anyone who just wants a beautiful, cohesive display of animated royalty. Aurora sits right in the heart of the classic princess era and is one of the most visually stunning pulls of the bunch.
A Memory from the Kingdom
Aurora has always had a special place in my heart, and a big part of that is tied to Disneyland Paris. On my one magical trip there, I walked up to Sleeping Beauty Castle - Le Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormant - and I genuinely had to stop and catch my breath. It was different from Cinderella Castle back home, more gothic and storybook-like, covered in tapestries inside that told Aurora's whole story in stained glass and illustrated panels. Standing there, it felt like stepping directly into the film. Whenever I look at Aurora cards now, I feel that same sense of wonder. This card captures that feeling beautifully.
Every princess in a card collection is a little piece of magic you get to hold in your hands - and Aurora reminds us that the most enchanting stories never really end.
Collector Notes: Rarity, Audience, and Checklist Context
Within the 2025 Topps Disney Wonder set structure, the Cartoon Princess tier cards are Base Set cards - meaning they are standard set builder pulls available across hobby, blaster, and value box configurations. Aurora at #153 is a key card in the princess run and a straightforward but satisfying pull for anyone working through the checklist. Princess collectors, in particular, will want all 13 Cartoon Princess cards as a matching set, and Aurora is one of the more visually striking pulls of the group.
If you are a parallel chaser, keep an eye out for Aurora in the Diamante Foil parallel - that one gives her golden hair an extra shimmer that is genuinely breathtaking. The Disney Wonder set also features insert opportunities across Enchanted Stickers, Wish Upon a Star Chrome Die-Cuts, and the Enchantments Chrome insert line, so Aurora shows up in multiple places throughout the checklist and is absolutely worth hunting across multiple product types.
This card is a great fit for set builders working toward 190-card completion, character collectors who focus on Disney Princesses, and display collectors who want a gorgeous princess run showcased together.
Display Ideas for Your Aurora Card
For a card this pretty, display really matters. I personally keep my Aurora in an Ultra Pro Snap Card Frame - the clean, frameless look lets that soft pink and gold artwork pop without any visual distraction. It sits beautifully on a shelf alongside my other princess cards. If you are building the full Cartoon Princess run of all 13 cards, I also love the idea of using Ultra Pro 9-Pocket Pages to house the complete set side by side in a single binder spread - there is something so satisfying about seeing the whole princess lineup at a glance, from Snow White all the way through Raya.
You can also mark this one as Have in the Collectiblz app if you are tracking your Disney Wonder Base Set progress - it is such a satisfying little moment when another princess card gets checked off the list!
Final Thoughts
Aurora Card #153 is exactly the kind of pull that makes 2025 Topps Disney Wonder such a joy to collect. The Cartoon Princess sub-tier is one of the most charming and cohesive elements of the entire set, and Aurora brings a timeless elegance to the lineup that is hard to match. Whether you are a lifelong Sleeping Beauty fan, a Disney Princess set builder, or just someone who appreciates gorgeous illustrated card art, this one belongs in your collection.
Happy collecting, and may every pack you open feel a little bit magical! 💜 Tilly
