Episode 1
Upon landing in the Gummi Hangar, Sora, Donald, and Goofy are met by Chip and Dale with a message that the castle is in danger. Take the stairs forward and enter the crown-shaped doorway to reach the Courtyard.

There are several groups of Heartless that appear in this area, including the new Minute Bomb. Use the 
Dodge Roll reaction to get out of the way of their explosion.
From the doorway to the Gummi Hangar, move forward to find a chest behind a hedge statue. Jump up the platforms to get the Blazing Stone (Treasure #5). Turn to the right and move clockwise around the room, grabbing the AP Boost (Treasure #3) in the corner, then the Mythril Shard (Treasure #7) behind the dog playing trombone.
Stand in front of the trombone hedge and look towards the center of the room. There is a Blazing Shard (Treasure #6) on the ground, and Sora can climb up the hedge castle for a Star Recipe (Treasure #2). Sora will be facing the dog playing drums, so turn to the left until you see a chest and crown by a large pig playing the trumpet.
The chest behind the pig contains a Mythril Stone (Treasure #4). Turn around 180 degrees, and from this vantage point, you can see an additional chest that holds a Mythril Shard (Treasure #1). Nearby, in the corner, is the doorway to the Colonnade.
There are a ton of Shadows in this long hallway; jump into Valor Form for some easy experience. Partway down the hallway is a large set of double doors protected by a pink barrier. Keep going down to the end of the hallway to the smaller doors that lead to the Library.
There are some Torn Pages (Treasure #8) in the large chest in the corner, and a single Broom cleaning around the desk. Use the save point if you'd like, then Approach Queen Minnie for a scene, and the Disney Castle Map.
Donald and Goofy leave the party, and Sora must escort the Queen to the doors halfway down the Colonnade. When near Queen Minnie, Sora can use the Faith command to deal damage to surrounding Heartless. Otherwise, use Call Over to encourage the Queen to move to Sora's location. As with many other special fights, watch the Damage gauge in the top left corner of the screen. Use Finish at the door to unlock the Audience Chamber.
In the Audience Chamber, defend Minnie while also fighting a whole bunch of Heartless. Though it might seem counter-intuitive, let the Heartless approach Queen Minnie. Use that Faith command to deal damage to a bunch of enemies all at once. With all the enemies defeated, bring the Queen to the throne to end this sequence.
Activate the save point, then use the option to return to the World Map and head to Hollow Bastion to meet with Merlin. He will bring everyone back to the Castle, then conjure a door. Enter to find the Timeless River world.
Timeless River only has one episode, and once that is complete, Sora is returned to Disney Castle. There is a cutscene that ends the Disney Castle experience, including introducing Sora to Daisy Duck and adding some pictures to the Album.
Please move to the KH2: Timeless River page for the next part of the guide.
Puzzle Pieces
There are 5 Puzzle Pieces to be found across Disney Castle. The following information will guide you through getting all the Puzzle Pieces in order.
Land at the Library save point, then exit right away to the Colonnade. Run all the way down to the other end, and find the crown floating above the end of the stairs that go down. It's a quick Glide over to the crown (Piece #1).
Start by approaching the center hedge castle, that leads into the Gummi Hangar. Right above the door is a crown (Piece #2). Along the eastern wall is a large hedge statue of a pig playing the trumpet. Above the head is a crown (Piece #3). The last crown in here is off in the northwest corner, above some hedges (Piece #4).
Enter the Gummi Hangar now, and High Jump to reach the crown that sits above a piece of machinery (Piece #5).

This boss is only available after completing the main story in all Worlds and defeating Xemnas.
Land in the Library, and head to The Hall of the Cornerstone for a scene. Enter the portal to reach a new area and an incredibly difficult boss fight. In fact, I would call it the single most difficult fight in the series up until this point, Data Org included.
LW is an absolute beast of an opponent. His attacks come fast and hard, and they have an absolutely ridiculous range. His Keyblade (yes, it is a Keyblade!) is incredibly large, LW can turn it into a whip and extend his reach, he can turn it into a giant cannon and fire it at Sora, he summons a jet bike thing and rides around tackling people...his move set is crazy and awesome and oh so difficult to react to.
The vast majority of guides I've seen (video and text) all suggest at least trying to defeat Lingering Will legitimately before seeking out cheaper tactics. While I agree with this sentiment, I was unable to defeat LW after several hours of trying, so I ended up using the Fenrir/Negative Combo trick outlined in the video below. I've mentioned it in other areas of the guide (namely against some of the Data Org members) but in case you haven't done that yet, here is how it works:
- equip the Fenrir Keyblade that is the reward for defeating Sephiroth
- equip the Negative Combo Ability (Sword 44, Shield 73, Staff 36)
- unequip all Combo Plus and Air Combo Plus Abilities
- unequip the Finishing Plus Ability
- unequip any Ability that adds or changes Sora's Finishers, such as Explosion or Magnet Burst
- unequip all Abilities that begin with "Aerial"
With this setup, every attack Sora makes is automatically a Finisher. There is a specific aerial Finisher we are looking for, however. You want to press 
lightly to jump, then 
to do a downward strike. Try it out against some regular Heartless first.
This specific Finisher causes a stagger animation in the enemy it hits. If done repeatedly, the enemy gets stuck in that animation and is unable to break out. This overrides any Revenge Value or Desperation Move counters that may apply. You can chain this Finisher the whole time you fight Lingering Will, and since it is a Finisher, he will be defeated with the final hit. No need to swap to a spell. This technique is explained in the first part of the video below.
This is the easiest way of defeating Lingering Will.
There are several other techniques in the video, and I suggest watching the whole thing to see if any of the other techniques are more interesting.
Defeating Lingering Will rewards Sora with the Proof of Connection, and you get an Achievement.
