106-year-old woman celebrates birthday at Walt Disney World for the first time Magnolia Jackson, who wanted to celebrate her 106th birthday at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., after seeing Mickey Mouse perform recently in his drum major uniform at a college football game, is warmly greeted Wednesday by Mickey Mouse and the Walt Disney World Ambassadors as she arrived at Magic Kingdom for the first time. Born March 14, 1918 and the oldest living graduate of Bethune-Cookman University in nearby Daytona Beach, Florida, Jackson was showered in birthday wishes and admiration by Disney cast members and executives before she went off to enjoy the parks, visiting with Princess Tiana and experiencing the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival.
