Though Disney Castle shows the palace and [[Disney Town]] on the World Map, exploration is limited to only within the castle, in almost all places that had been seen in the first game. King Mickey and Queen Minnie and other members of the royal organization hold meetings in the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Audience Chamber}}'''|謁見室|Ekken-shitsu}}. Hidden below Mickey's throne is another room called the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Hall of the Cornerstone}}'''|礎の間|Ishizue no Ma}} where the Cornerstone of Light is kept safe.

Below the castle is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Gummi Hangar}}'''|格納庫|Kakunōko|lit. "Hangar"}}, a room for storing and maintaining the [[Gummi Ship]], controlled by [[Chip and Dale]]. This room is accessed by entering a castle-like arrangement of foliage in the courtyard. Sora and his party later enter Disney Castle through this room when they visit in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
In the Audience Chamber, there are statues of Donald and Goofy in full regalia, or their ancestors, and in the Library, there are two portraits of Mickey's ancestors. The Audience Chamber also contains a sculpture resembling the ''Kingdom Hearts'' logo. On the desk in the library there is a photo of King Mickey and Queen Minnie in their normal Disney clothes.

Other places to be explored include the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Library}}'''|書斎|Shosai|lit. "Study"}}, where [[Donald Duck|Donald]], [[Queen Minnie|Minnie]], [[Daisy Duck|Daisy]], and [[Goofy]] first read the letter from King Mickey about the danger of the universe. Minnie, Daisy, and a broom servant can also be seen here anytime after Sora saves the castle from [[Maleficent]] after returning from [[Timeless River]]. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Courtyard}}'''|中庭|Nakaniwa}} is the place where Donald catches Goofy napping, and where Queen Minnie and Daisy ask Donald to explain things in the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts''. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Colonnade}}'''|廊下|Rōka|lit. "Corridor"}} in the castle connects the Courtyard to the rest of the castle.

*Because Disney Castle is not based on any Disney film, it is the only Disney-based world in the game that doesn't borrow anything from the productions. It is based plot-wise, only borrowing characters instead.
