Since this is an action-RPG, the main characters have many actions available to them. They can climb, fly, swim and have the ability to pick up items that can be utilized in battle or stacked so other areas can be accessed. The characters themselves also undergo changes correspondent to the area they are occupying. For example, as you swim through the oceans found in The Little Mermaid-inspired area, your party can grow fins like Ariel in order to swim around. Later in the game, you'll gain the ability to fly through the London skies like the boy who never grew up, Peter Pan. Characters will also react differently to various locations and situations. For example, the width of tree that Sora is climbing will determine how he will actually climb it. The differences are different animation routines but when seen in motion gives authenticity to whatever your character is doing.
