Fishing pond
Fishing is one of the activities the player can do after being taught by Donald Duck at the "fishin' hole" in the recreational area in Castleton (Disney Magical World 1) / Donald's house (Disney Magical World 2) and gaining a fishing pole.
Fishing is very easy to do. The player simply picks a spot to sit down and then decides where to cast their line by using the circle line. After choosing, they press A to cast the line into the water. The player will wait for a fish to bite (which may take a while, indicated by some fish "nudging" or running into the bait before biting) and then repeatedly push A when it is displayed until the fish is caught. The fish will cough up an item (most likely a mineral, usually in the form of bubbles) to give to the player and then be released. The fish will be caught quicker just as the exclamation with the A button in it is at its largest. If the A button isn't pushed on time or too quickly, or if you press A while the fish is nudging the bait, the fish will swim away without any reward. The rarer or bigger the fish, the more times you need to press A. (e.g. Present Pike usually requires about 1 or 2 presses, while Gold Goby requires about 5 or more presses.) A fish's size or rarity may also affect the number of times it will nudge the bait before grabbing on to the line. (e.g. Small Gift Groupers will go straight for the bait, larger Gift Groupers will nudge the bait 3 times before grabbing on, and Sterling Shrimps will nudge it 5 times and then grab on.) When you catch a fish, the size (cm) will be stated.
There are multiple places to fish. There are fishing areas in many of the episodes, and in many of the worlds.
In Disney Magical World, next to fishing places, there are usually rocks, stumps and other structures where the player must sit if they want to fish. In Disney Magical World 2, there are certain fishing areas where the player can fish while standing anywhere next to the water.

Trivia[]
- In the first Disney Magical World, there are 5 fish models in the game, with a re-texture based on each world for 4 of them. The only fish model that doesn't fall into this category is the Golden Crownfish, which only has a retexture in Jack's World.
- Each non-golden fish has a color scheme for the world it resides in (besides Castleton if they reside in it): Blue for Cinderella's World, red or pink for Aladdin's World, silver for Alice's World, green for the 100 Acre Wood, and black for Jack's World.
- The fish for Port Royal/Jack's World are listed as "bonus" fish (eg. only available in the listing when you obtain it) because it is a part of DLC and not regular gameplay.
- In episodes, you can only fish if the area has been cleared of ghosts. If you attempt to sit down to fish with enemies around, a red circle with a diagonal line will be over the icon that normally appears when you fish.
