[edit] Plot
The game places you as a non-choosable main character. Goofy left the golden key for the castle gate inside, and Mickey Mouse asks your help to find six silver keys needed to open the Cinderella Castle gate and allow the Disney parade to begin. The player must complete five different stages, modeled after rides in Disney theme parks, as well as a trivia quest in order to retrieve the keys. Following this, Mickey congratulates the player and the parade begins.
Although the cover art and title suggest that the game is intended to depict the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, the location of attractions within the in-game overworld map suggests a layout more akin to Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

Each stage is a park ride and the player may choose which stage to play by walking around the park. The stages vary in difficulty and in gameplay, and can be completed in any order. The six stages are the following:
[edit] Autopia
The player controls a speed car in a race against the villainous Panhandle Pete, who has stolen one of the silver keys. The game play is from a top-down perspective and players must avoid various obstacles during the race.
[edit] Haunted Mansion
This is a traditional side scroller in which the player must defeat ghosts by throwing candles at them to retrieve one of the keys.
[edit] Pirates of the Caribbean
This is another side scroller in which the player must rescue six villagers from pirates who have raided an island resembling the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.
[edit] Big Thunder Mountain
The player controls a train on a track from the top-down perspective, and must quickly choose from the various paths to take. Each path leads through several obstacles and the correct path will lead to the final station.
[edit] Space Mountain
The player boards a spaceship with the mission to reach a certain star. The game is in first person perspective and the player must use the arrow controls on the gamepad to maneuver through the asteroids whilst shooting enemy ships with a phaser.
[edit] The Trivia Game
The trivia game is available to play at any time. Several children around the park ask the player questions about Disney films and characters; if these are answered correctly, the children will reveal the location of the final silver key.
