A Florida mom gave birth with a magical view in December 2025.
Jacqueline Skelton went into labor with her second baby at a Florida hospital located near Disney World. Her hospital room had the perfect view of Magic Kingdom’s fireworks show, and she documented the unique experience in a now-viral video she recently shared on Instagram.
“I’ll never forget that my view between contractions was the Magic Kingdom fireworks because I gave birth at the ‘Disney’ hospital,” she wrote on the video, which featured photos and videos of the fireworks alongside glimpses of her in her hospital room, all smiles as she holds her baby.
In the final shot, her newborn son Bowen Everett Skelton can be seen wearing a blue onesie and matching beanie.
“A little Disney magic before meeting my greatest adventure. 💛✨,” she captioned the video. “Giving birth at the “Disney” hospital meant my labor came with a view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks. Definitely one of those “only at Disney” moments I’ll never forget. 🎆🏰”
In an interview with Today, Skelton said she is a proud “Disney adult.”
“I know that there’s so much cringe behind that but I do!” she quipped of her Disney love, per the outlet. She went on to share that she and her husband watched the fireworks for 20 minutes while her contractions began.
She shared that while her son Bowen does not have a Disney-themed name, her daughter is named Briar Rose, inspired by Sleeping Beauty.
“It’s kind of taken over our life in a way that I never would have thought, but it’s it’s super fun,” she told Today of her love of Disney.
