PhilharMagic Meets Formula 1: Mickey Mouse Conducts Bellagio Fountains

The performance began as a direct homage to “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” segment from Fantasia. Mickey Mouse, looking dapper in a sequined black tuxedo jacket, yellow bow tie, and shiny red pants, conducted the water display from a platform in the water. As the music swelled, Mickey shot fireworks—his “magic”—from his gloved hands.
Throughout the show, aerial shots revealed the Bellagio fountains performing choreographed formations that created Hidden Mickeys. The collaboration also featured eye-catching visuals on the adjacent Las Vegas Sphere, which was covered in various Mickey designs. The grand finale merged the two worlds, with drones creating an F1 car in the sky above the performance.
Fans with “Fuel the Magic” tickets also joined Mickey & Friends on an exclusive Pit Lane walk for photo opportunities and a behind-the-scenes look at Formula 1 pit crews at work.
Fans will continue to experience the thrill of Formula 1 through Disney’s signature creativity, innovation and magic as the “Fuel the Magic” collaboration will continue through the 2026 and 2027 seasons at select races around the globe. From exclusive behind-the-scenes content to imaginative storytelling, this collaboration will introduce digital experiences designed to connect fans around the world to the excitement of race weekends.
