Woman marks her 106TH birthday by visiting Disney World in Florida for the first time - as heartwarming images of her sweet celebrations captivate social media

A woman has celebrated her 106th birthday by visiting Walt Disney World for the very first time.

Magnolia Jackson, from Florida, was joined by family and friends to mark the milestone occasion with a trip to 'the most magical place on Earth.'

The centenarian, who is also the oldest living graduate of Bethune-Cookman University, began her newfound love of Disney last fall when she watched her beloved college team play in the the annual Florida Classic football game.

She saw Drum Major Mickey steal the show with an 'electrifying' on-field performance and has been captivated by Disney ever since.
