{{nihongo|'''Disney Castle'''|ディズニーキャッスル|Dizunī Kyassuru}} 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 [[Mickey Mouse|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]].

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]].

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.

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''.

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]]''.

When [[Pete]] and [[Maleficent]] mess with the [[Cornerstone of Light|Cornerstone]] and try to take over the castle by going back to the past to alter the present, Sora visits the castle for the first time, where he protects Queen Minnie, and eventually go to [[Timeless River]] with Donald and Goofy, a past version of Disney Castle before it was built, to stop Pete from destroying the Cornerstone. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+]]'', the [[Sunset Horizons]], where you fight with [[Terra]] is also accessible in the Hall of the Cornerstone. In the ending credits, you see [[Donald]], [[Goofy]], [[Uncle Scrooge]], [[Pluto]], [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie]] and [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] all returning to Disney Castle.
