The {{nihongo|'''{{a|First District}}'''|1番街|Ichiban Gai}} is the most peaceful of the three, without the presence of Heartless (with the exception of the first episode, where Heartless can even be found here after [[Sora]] searches for [[Riku]] and [[Kairi]]). The First District is where most survivors of the destroyed worlds can be found. The most notable locations include the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Accessory Shop}}'''|アクセサリーショップ|Akusesarī Shoppu}} owned and managed by Cid, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Item Shop}}'''|アイテムショップ|Aitemu Shoppu}} run by [[Huey]], [[Dewey]], and [[Louie]], and an {{nihongo|'''{{a|Item Workshop}}'''|アイテムアトリエ|Aitemu Atorie|lit. "Item Atelier"}} run by Moogles on the top floor of Cid's store. There is also a shop run by Cid after the [[keyhole]] of Traverse Town is locked; he sells [[Gummi Blocks]] near the gate to the Second District. There is a restaurant with magical self-lighting candles to the left of the town entrance, as well as {{nihongo|'''{{a|Geppetto's House}}'''|ゼペットの家|Zepetto no Ie}}, a green-doored apartment that [[Geppetto]], [[Pinocchio]], and Cleo move into after they escape from [[Monstro]]. The mailbox used in the [[Postcard]] hunt is also found here, close to the door leading into the Third District. Directly across from the accessory shop is a large set of double-doors which serve as the entrance to the town and can return the player to the world map to choose another world to travel to.

The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Second District}}'''|2番街|Niban Gai}} is infested with a variety of Heartless. It includes the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Gizmo Shop}}'''|からくり部屋|Karakuri Heya|lit. "Mechanism Room"}}, on whose roof a bell is eventually rung three times in order to reveal the world's Keyhole. Also present is the '''{{a|Dalmatians' House}}''', where [[Pongo]] and [[Perdita]] have settled due to the destruction of their world. The house consists of the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Dalmatians' Den}}'''|子犬たちの私室|Koinu-tachi no Shishitsu|lit. "Puppies' Den"}}, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Living Room}}'''|子犬たちの居間|Koinu-tachi no Ima|lit. "Puppies' Living Room"}}, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Dining Room}}'''|子犬たちの食堂|Koinu-tachi no Shokudō|lit. "Puppies' Dining Hall"}}, and the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Piano Room}}'''|子犬たちの客間|Koinu-tachi no Kyakuma|lit. "Puppies' Parlor"}}. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Hotel}}'''|宿屋|Yadoya|lit. "Inn"}} is on the west side of the district and is often invaded by Heartless, but can be entered through the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Hallway}}'''|廊下|Rōka}}; in addition, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Red Room}}'''|赤の間|Aka no Ma}} and {{nihongo|'''{{a|Green Room}}'''|緑の間|Midori no Ma}} are located within the Hotel, where Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] are briefed by Leon and Aerith. The east side of town includes the entrance to the Third District, as well as a set of roofs that can be climbed to reach treasures and a hidden entrance to a balcony in the Third District. At the back of the Hotel lies the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Alleyway}}'''|2番街：路地裏|Niban Gai: Rojiura|lit. "Second District: Back Alley"}}; it has passages to the Dalmatians' House and the First District, and its drainage pipes lead to the Secret Waterway.

The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Third District}}'''|3番街|Sanban Gai}} is a plaza also overrun with Heartless but is the smallest of the three main districts. Notable areas include the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Vacant House}}'''|空き家|Akiya}} next to the Second District's door, which [[Leon]] and his crew eventually claim as the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Small House}}'''|小さな家|Chīsana Ie}}, their headquarters. The most notable feature in this district is the golden fountain in the corner of the lower area, which depicts an image from Disney's 1955 film, ''{{w|Lady and the Tramp}}''. Casting [[Thunder]] on the exposed cable wire raises the platforms in the Second District Gizmo Shop. Finally, a keyhole next to the giant door to First District can also be found and unlocked for faster access to that area. In another corner, a short alley leads to a door with a flame on it that goes to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Mystical House}}'''|3番街：不思議な館|Sanban Gai: Fushigina-kan|lit. "Third District: Mysterious House"}}, and in turn the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Magician's Study}}'''|魔法使いの書斎|Mahōtsukai no Shosai}} and {{nihongo|'''{{a|Magician's Lab}}'''|魔法使いの実験室|Mahōtsukai no Jikkenshitsu|also referred to as the "Zero District" by Merlin in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''}}, where Merlin and the Fairy Godmother take up residence. The book that serves as the entrance to [[100 Acre Wood]] can also be found in the study. Below Merlin's house is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Secret Waterway}}'''|隠された水路|Kakusareta Suiro|lit. "Hidden Waterway"}}, which serves as Leon's secret training ground, as well as a back entrance to the Alleyway.

Within the data representation of the town, the '''{{a|Keyhole}}''' itself is accessible, containing the '''{{a|Keyhole / 1st District|1st District}}''', '''{{a|Keyhole / 2nd District|2nd District}}''', '''{{a|Keyhole / 3rd District|3rd District}}''' and '''{{a|Keyhole / Terminus|Terminus}}''', which are placed in a linear formation.

[[File:Fourth District (Art).png|thumb|right|200px|Artwork of the Fourth District.]]

The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fourth District}}'''|4番街|Yonban Gai}} is a shopping area infested with Dream Eaters. It is largely populated by Moogles, who run both the [[Medal Shop]] and the district's main feature, the '''Flick Rush Colosseum'''. The district also houses the entrance to the Fifth District, which is framed with red and white cubes and has handles shaped like the face of the Hockomonkey.

The district is embellished with many bright lights and decorations such as streamers. It houses multiple shops, including a Dream Eater shop which has a balloon in the shape of a paw hanging outside the door. The largest and most prominent feature within the district is a large tower similar to a lighthouse, to which various streamers are tied.

Just beyond the Fourth District is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fountain Plaza}}'''|噴水広場|Funsui Hiroba}}, wherein is a massive eponymous fountain. A wide alleyway leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Post Office}}'''|ポストオフィス|Posuto Ofisu}}, a massive area filled with boxes and letters and many contraptions, both animated and still. A circular elevator in a small room of the Post Office leads up to the mailbox in the First District. A narrow but longer alleyway leads from the Fountain Plaza to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Back Streets}}'''|裏通り|Uradōri}}, a twisting mass of streets interconnected by a long series of waterways. The back streets lead to a previously unseen door near the café in the First District.

The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fifth District}}'''|5番街|Goban Gai}} lies beyond the door in the Fourth District. The majority of the district is taken up by the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Garden}}'''|植物園|Shokubutsu-en|lit. "Botanical Garden"}}, which is filled with many varieties of plants. The Garden is a large, three-floor greenhouse surrounded by a small waterway that can be entered by crossing a bridge to its front entrance, which holds a sign that reads "Flower & Plant." The surrounding alleys of the district are mainly empty.

Heartless attack the Hotel, and Leon and Sora take off to fend them off. Before going ahead, Leon tells Sora not to worry about the attacking [[Soldier]] and [[Shadow]] Heartless and to find their leader. As Sora enters the Third District, Donald and Goofy are blown off a balcony above by an attack from a Soldier and land on him, this is when Donald and Goofy first see the Keyblade and realize Sora is the person they are looking for. The three battle and defeat a battalion of Soldiers before the [[Guard Armor]] comes out, the trio beats this giant Heartless and Upon its defeat, Donald and Goofy explain their mission to find the [[Keyblade wielder]], and they ask Sora to come with them, Sora is hesitated at first but when Leon tells Sora that going with them would provide the best chance to find his friends Sora agrees to accompany them on their journey. Before they leave, Leon and the others give Sora [[munny]] to spend in preparing for his journey, and Donald and Goofy teach Sora [[magic]] and [[Dodge Roll]], respectively.
