A fishin' hole is a pool-like pond where players can go fishing. In Disney Magical World 1, there is a large Mickey Mouse head shaped fishin' hole in Castleton where the players can get taught how to fish by Donald Duck. Players can visit that fishin' hole whenever they want. Fishin' holes can also be found during episodes. Before selecting which episode they want to do, the player can view if there are any fishin' holes in that episode. During an episode, fishin' holes cannot be accessed if there are enemies in the vicinity. Once the ghosts have been cleared, the player may freely fish there.
Fishin' holes have a wide variety of fish that live in them, some of which are unique to a certain world. In DMW1, the fishin' holes in the overworld and in episodes differ: In the former, fish tend to be abundant and they respawn, but in the latter, there are only 3-5 fish that don't respawn. However, in DMW2, this was fixed, allowing fish to respawn in any fishin' hole regardless of the location.
