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.

Disney World Monorail Silver Involved in Incident; Service Restored Late Afternoon

The Walt Disney World monorail system experienced a significant disruption yesterday, November 23rd, following an electrical fire onboard Monorail Silver. The incident, which was reported by park guests and observers in the morning, led to the complete shutdown of the monorail lines for the majority of the day.

The fire was quickly extinguished, but the train—Monorail Silver—remained stopped on the track, reportedly on the express line and appearing to be empty at the time of the incident. An eyewitness account described seeing “quite a bit of smoke that smelled like burning electrical insulation coming out between the cars.” The area around the incident, including the walking path to Magic Kingdom, was immediately closed to guests.

Throughout the day, Firefighters and maintenance workers were visible on a lift below the stopped Monorail Silver, working to assess the damage and ensure the safety of the line.

The monorail system finally reopened to guests in the late afternoon, with reports confirming service was running again as of approximately 4:25 PM ET. However, in the immediate aftermath of the reopening, Cast Members were still proactively advising guests to utilize the slower but reliable boat transportation options instead of immediately boarding the monorail.

The incident underscores the importance of the Monorail’s safety protocols and the swift response of emergency and maintenance teams at the resort.

Celebrating Thanksgiving at Universal Orlando Resort

Universal Orlando Reveals Thanksgiving Dining for 2025 with Special Menus Across the Parks

If you’re dreaming of a Thanksgiving feast without ever touching a roasting pan, Universal Orlando Resort has you covered with festive three-course dinners and holiday bites across Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios Florida, and CityWalk. Whether you want a traditional turkey dinner or a fun foodie twist on Thanksgiving classics, this year’s menus are serving up major holiday flavor.

Thanksgiving dinner at Islands of Adventure offers not one but two full spreads. Confisco Grille dishes out butternut squash soup or a pomegranate-packed salad before launching into herb-roasted turkey with classic sides like wild mushroom stuffing, whipped potatoes, crispy Brussels sprouts with bacon, and orange-cranberry sauce. Dessert brings a cozy Pumpkin & Churro Bread Pudding swimming in warm caramel. Thunder Falls Terrace keeps things familiar with mixed greens, roasted turkey with sage gravy, mashed gold potatoes, and a traditional pumpkin pie topper.

Over at Universal Studios Florida, Lombard’s Seafood Grille brings a more elevated approach. Choose between butternut bisque or holiday salad, then tuck into a turkey dinner with roasted turkey breast, confit dark meat, bourbon-glazed Brussels sprouts, shiitake mushroom stuffing, and smashed potatoes. Dessert is a standout: a deconstructed pumpkin cheesecake layered with sponge cake, maple pecans, graham crumbs, and salted caramel.

If you’re staying outside the parks, CityWalk is still cooking. Bigfire goes big with a Winter Garden Salad and a Turkey Feast overflowing with confit dark meat, sweet potato purée, cornbread stuffing, beans almondine, cranberry-cara cara sauce, and sage velouté, all capped by a S’mores Pumpkin Pie. Bread Box brings back its beloved Holiday Sandwich — turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and gravy between cranberry bread — and Voodoo Doughnut offers a special Apple Crumble doughnut for the season. Margaritaville joins the fun with two holiday cocktails: A Nutty Brew and The Golden Harvest.

All three-course Thanksgiving meals are available only on November 27, with select seasonal offerings running from November 22 to the end of the month. Reservations are highly recommended, and the Universal Orlando app has full venue details.
