Disney Launches F1 'Fuel the Magic' With Maestro Mickey Bellagio Show in Las Vegas

The live production opens a multi-year collaboration that will bring character-led activations to select race weekends starting in 2026.

Overview

  • Mickey Mouse conducted a custom Bellagio fountain performance during Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend featuring fireworks, projection mapping, Sphere visuals, and an overhead drone show.
  • Disney Live Entertainment created the production specifically for the event as a standalone show rather than an adaptation of an existing park spectacular.
  • The activation is part of the Fuel the Magic partnership between Disney and Formula 1, which runs through 2027 and begins a broader rollout next year.
  • ESPN integrated footage of the fountain show and additional Disney appearances into its race coverage throughout the day.
  • Disney and Formula 1 launched a limited Disney x Formula 1 merchandise line at the F1 Las Vegas Hub and on DisneyStore.com, alongside daytime community events, a pitlane walk, and a National Anthem performance by the Disneyland Band.
