'''Mickey's Letters''' refer to the two letters [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] has written over the course of the Kingdom Hearts series. The first letter is the one that Mickey left for [[Donald Duck]] at [[Disney Castle]] before leaving to seek out the [[Keyblade]], and the second letter is the one Mickey sent to [[Sora]] to explain about a new situation. Both letters were sealed by a green Hidden Mickey symbol.

==First Letter==
===Contents===
:''Donald,''
:''sorry to rush off without sayin' goodbye, but there's big trouble brewin'.''
:''Not sure why, but the stars have been blinkin' out, one by one. And that means disaster can't be far behind. I hate to leave you all but I've gotta go check into it.''
:''There's someone with a "Key"—the Key to our survival. So I need you and Goofy to find him, and stick with him. Got it?''
:''We need that key or we're doomed! So go to [[Traverse Town]] and find [[Leon]]. He'll point you in the right direction.''
:''P.S. Would ya apologize to [[Minnie Mouse|Minnie]] for me? Thanks, pal.''
:''Signed - Mickey''

In the [[manga]], the letter is worded differently.
:''Dear Donald,''
:''Please forgive me for leaving so suddenly, but trouble is brewing, and there's no time to lose.''
:''I'm not sure why, but the stars have been blinking out... one by one.''
:''Hate to leave you, but I have to check into this.''
:''As the king, I have a favor to ask you and Goofy...''
:''There is someone out there with a ''Key''—the Key to our survival. I need you and Goofy to find him and stick with him! Got it?''
:''Without that key, we're doomed!''
:''So go to Traverse Town and find Leon...''

===Story===
When Donald enters the Disney Castle Throne Room to give Mickey his morning greeting, he finds only Pluto, with the first letter. He rushes to show it to Goofy, while trying unsuccessfully to keep it hidden from Minnie and Daisy. With the help of Chip and Dale, Donald and Goofy are sent to Traverse Town to talk to Leon, where they serendipitously stumble upon the Key-bearer, [[Sora]]. Per Mickey's orders, they join up with him.

When Riku takes the Keyblade from Sora, Donald and Goofy follow him, because Mickey had specifically said to stick with the person who had the key. However, when Riku attacks Sora, they defend him out of friendship, and Sora regains the Keyblade.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts}}

==Second Letter==

:''Remember, Sora.''
:''You are the one who will open''
:''the door to the light.''

===Story===
After defeating [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and restoring the worlds, they stumble upon Pluto, who is again holding the letter. They chase him along a grassy path, until they come to [[Castle Oblivion]].{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories}}

==Second Letter==
===Contents===
:''I wanted to tell you right away,''
:''About memories from the past that sleep within you,''
:''And about the pieces that will tie you to your future.''

:''Sora, Riku, Kairi,''
:''the truth behind the Keyblade,''
:''has found its way through so many people,''
:''and now I know that it rests in your hearts.''

:''Sora,''
:''you are who you are because of those people, but they're hurting,''
:''and you're the only one who can end their sadness. They need you.''

:''It's possible that all your journeys so far,''
:''have been preparing you for this great new task that's waiting for you.''
:''I should have known there were no coincidences, only links in a much larger chain of events.''
:''And now the door to your next journey is ready to be opened.''

===Story===
After meeting the Data [[Naminé]] within the Journal and discovering the truth behind the secret message, she requests that the King explain the situation to Sora, so King Mickey sends Sora, Riku, and Kairi a letter in a bottle. The letter explains that all of the strange events in their journey were connected, and that the trio must go on one more journey to solve the remaining troubles of those connected to his heart.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts coded}}

The letter in a bottle quickly arrives on the shores of [[Destiny Islands]], and after Kairi rushes to give it to Sora and Riku, the trio reads it together.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts II}} Shortly afterward, Sora is sitting on the Paopu tree when Riku walks up to him and asks if he has decided yet. Sora, holding the letter, replies that he has. Kairi walks up, and Sora explains to her that there are still sad people, so he must once again leave to put right everything that is connected to him. Kairi smiles, gives him back her [[Wayfinder]], and tells him to hurry back.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep}}
