===''Kingdom Hearts''===
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.
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.


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.
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
[[File:Audience Chamber (Art).png|thumb|225px|left|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]].


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, several of the hedges in the Courtyard are patterned after the band players from ''{{w|The Band Concert}}'', one of them bearing a resemblance to [[Horace Horsecollar]]. Sora and his party later enter Disney Castle through this room when they visit in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
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.


Other places to be explored include the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Library}}'''|書斎|Shosai|lit. "Study"}}, where [[Donald]], [[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 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.
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.
 
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.
