'''Disney Castle''' is a [[world]] introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It is surrounded by [[Disney Town]], and contains a gateway to its past form, [[Timeless River]]. It is the home of [[King Mickey]], [[Queen Minnie]], [[Daisy]], [[Donald]], [[Goofy]], and the other classic animated characters created by Walt Disney. As such, Disney Castle is considered to represent Disney's short films and cartoons, although that role would later be shared with [[Timeless River]]. Disney Castle's design is derived from the real-world {{w|Magic Kingdom}}, which is in turn based upon the castle from ''{{w|Cinderella (1950 film)|Cinderella}}''.


In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Disney Castle first appears during the opening scenes, and briefly during the credits. It was unplayable, although visible throughout the game on the Gummi Map screen to the left of [[Traverse Town]]. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Disney Castle took on a more active role when the barrier protecting Disney Castle, the [[Cornerstone of Light]], was corrupted by Maleficent and the world was invaded by the [[Heartless]]. This brought Disney Castle's attention to [[Sora]] and his friends, who rescued the castle with the help of Queen Minnie and the inhabitants of Timeless River. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', Disney Castle is the main base of operation, though it only appears in cutscenes. Mickey and [[Jiminy Cricket]] discover a message in [[Jiminy's Journal]] which says ''"We must free them from their torment"'' and thus creates the [[Datascape]]. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Disney Castle briefly appears in cutscenes.
'''Disney Castle''' is a [[World]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. Although it has no animated counterpart, it is clearly based off on the [[wikipedia:Sleeping Beauty Castle|Sleeping Beauty Castle]] in [[wikipedia:Disneyland Park (Anaheim)|Disneyland]] and the [[wikipedia:Cinderella Castle|Cinderella Castle]] in the [[wikipedia:Magic Kingdom|Magic Kingdom]] of [[wikipedia:Walt Disney World Resort|Walt Disney World]]. It is the home of [[King Mickey]], [[Queen Minnie]], and the other classic animated characters created by Walt Disney. As such, Disney Castle is considered to represent Disney's short films and cartoons, although that role would later be shared with [[Timeless River]].


==Development==
Disney Castle first appeared during the beginning segments of ''Kingdom Hearts''. It was unplayable, although visible throughout the game on the Gummi Map screen to the left of [[Traverse Town]].
[[File:Disney Castle Trailer KH.png|thumb|left|Disney Castle, as it appears in ''Kingdom Hearts'''s beta trailer.]]
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Disney Castle took on a more active role when the barrier protecting Disney Castle, the [[Cornerstone of Light]], was corrupted by Maleficent and the world was invaded by the [[Heartless]]. This brought Disney Castle's attention to [[Sora]] and his friends, who rescued the castle with the help of Queen Minnie and the inhabitants of Timeless River.
Disney Castle was shown as a playable world in an early trailer for ''Kingdom Hearts'', but was [[Removed content#Disney Castle|removed]] from the finished game.
{{-|left}}


==Settings and Areas==
It has been confirmed that Disney Castle will appear in the upcoming ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'' game, where Mickey and [[Jiminy Cricket|Jiminy]] discover a message in [[Jiminy's Journal]] that says ''"We must free them from their torment"'' and create a data version of Sora.
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
Disney Castle first appears in ''Kingdom Hearts'', but is only seen through cutscenes despite the world appearing on the World Map. Areas such as the '''{{a|Colonnade}}''', the '''{{a|Audience Chamber}}''', and the '''{{a|Courtyard}}''', are scene as [[Donald]] learns of [[King Mickey]]'s disappearance. The '''{{a|Library}}''' is where Donald, [[Goofy]], [[Minnie]], and [[Daisy]] work what their next steps should be. As Donald, Goofy, and [[Jiminy Cricket]] leave they are seen descending a long and darkly lit spiral stairway, leading to the '''{{a|Gummi Hangar}}''', where they access the [[Gummi Ship]] and take off.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
[[File:Audience Chamber (Art).png|thumb|225px|right|Artwork of the Audience Chamber.]]
Though Disney Castle shows the castle and [[Disney Town]] on the World Map, exploration is limited to only within the castle. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'' Donald and Goofy return to Disney Castle for the first time since leaving, along with [[Sora]]. They arrive at 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]]. Leaving this room takes the party up to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Courtyard}}'''|中庭|Nakaniwa}}, which is entered through a castle-like arrangement of foliage in the middle. Surrounding the Courtyard are several hedges that are patterned after the band players from ''{{w|The Band Concert}}'', one of them bearing a resemblance to [[Horace Horsecollar]].


To the northeast of the area is the entrance to the castle itself, and takes the party to a long hallway named the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Colonnade}}'''|廊下|Rōka|lit. "Corridor"}}. The Courtyard can be viewed from the Colonnade and further leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Library}}'''|書斎|Shosai|lit. "Study"}}, where they'll meet up with Minnie. The room also contains portraits of two of Mickey's ancestors, a tiny picture on the desk of Mickey and Minnie in their normal Disney clothes, and one of the world's [[save point]]s. After clearing the world, Daisy and a broom servant can also be found here.
==Setting==
Though Disney Castle shows the palace and a little town on the World Map, the exploration is only limited within the castle, in almost all places that has been seen in the first game. King Mickey and Queen Minnie and other members of the royal organization hold meetings in the '''Audience Chamber'''. Hidden below Mickey's throne is another room called the '''Hall of the Cornerstone''' where the Cornerstone of Light is kept safe.


In the middle of the Colonnade is a tall and massive door, with a much tinnier door at the bottom serving as the actual entrance to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Audience Chamber}}'''|謁見室|Ekken-shitsu}}. The Audience Chamber is a colossal room with massive pillars on each side, and a red carpet leading up to King Mickey's throne. Behind it are statues of Donald and Goofy in full regalia. Hidden below Mickey's throne is another massive room called the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Hall of the Cornerstone}}'''|礎の間|Ishizue no Ma}} where the Cornerstone of Light is kept safe. Upon arrival the room is darkened and overflown with [[Maleficent]]'s thorns. By courtesy of [[Merlin]] a door leading to [[Timeless River]] quickly appears here, and once that world's been cleared, the thorns will vanish.
Below the castle is the '''Gummi Hangar''', a room for storing and maintaining the [[Gummi Ship]], and controlled by [[Chip and Dale]]. Sora and his party later enter Disney Castle through this room when they visit in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.


After beating the game, a massive dark portal will appear inside the Hall of the Cornerstone. Entering the portal will transport Sora, Donald, and Goofy to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], where a battle against [[Lingering Will]] ensues.
Other places to be explored include the '''Library''', where Donald, Queen Minnie, [[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 you save the castle from [[Maleficent]] after returning from [[Timeless River]]. The '''Courtyard''' 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 '''Colonnade''' in the castle connects the Courtyard to the rest of the castle. A town can also be seen on the world image of the castle on the world map. This town is probably where [[Clarabelle Cow]], [[Horace Horsecollar]] and [[Clara Cluck]] are living in after the Castle was built.

A pathway can also be seen when Donald rushes to tell Goofy about the King's disappearance in the first game. However, this pathway was deleted in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.

==Trivia==
* Because Disney Castle is not based on any Disney movie, it is the only Disney-based world in the game that doesn't borrow anything from the productions it is based off of plot-wise, only borrowing characters instead.
* The music that plays in the castle is actually the Mickey Mouse Club theme song.
* After the first visit in Kingdom Hearts II, it becomes the only world without enemies except in Timeless River; however in the Final Mix the [[Terra]] boss was added to make the world more visitable.
* It should be noted that in Kingdom Hearts II, in the Audience Chamber, there are statues of Donald and Goofy from the past, or their ancestors. In the Library, there are two pictures, which might be those of Mickey's ancestors.
* A lot of the garden bushes in the '''Courtyard''' look a lot like the band players from [[wikipedia:The Band Concert|The Band Concert]], one of which bears a striking resemblance to [[Horace Horsecollar]].
* Disney Castle was shown as playable in an early teaser-trailer released by SquareSoft for the first Kingdom Hearts. It was later dropped from the finished game. 
* On the desk in the library there is a photo of [[King Mickey]] and [[Queen Minnie]] in their normal Disney clothes.
* In the gummi hangar, there is a hidden Mickey on one of the cogs.
