'''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 of 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]].

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.

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''.
