Simply astonishing! Today I had a guest from another world. He is a king, and his vessel is built of the material that composed the meteors. He called the pieces "gummi blocks". It seemed that my opening the door has opened a path to interworld travel.
We talked for countless hours, but one story in particular caught my interest: that of a key called the "Keyblade". The Keyblade is said to hold phenomenal power.
One legend says its wielder saved the world, while another says that he wrought chaos and ruin upon it. I must know what this Keyblade is. A key opens doors. It must be connected to the door I have opened.

Background
The Gummi Ship (グミシップ, Gumi Shippu?) is the main method of transportation between worlds in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III. The other games use other mechanics for transportation. Several characters, including King Mickey and Sora, as well as groups like the Heartless and the Nobodies, use Gummi Ships to move between worlds. These ships are made entirely of Gummi Blocks, made of special Gummi material that allows to travel between Worlds. Although Gummi travel seems to have originated with King Mickey, it is now mostly handled by his loyal subjects Chip and Dale, as well as Radiant Garden refugee Cid and Pinocchio's father, Geppetto.
This dropdown contains the synopsis of the Gummi Ship's history. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Before Kingdom Hearts
Gummi Ships are constructed of the material that fell upon the worlds as a result of their doors being opened.Template:Storylink
King Mickey was the first to create a Gummi Ship and used it to visit Ansem the Wise in Radiant Garden to discover the reason why the worlds were disappearing. Both Ansem and his apprentice, Xehanort, were fascinated by the Gummi technology, and discovered it was possible because the Heartless had destroyed the world barriers.
Kingdom Hearts
Sora, Donald, and Goofy all use the Gummi Ship to sail across the worlds. Using the most open routes possible, the trio traverse the universe in hopes of locating the King and Riku. Riku first discovers that a Corridor of Darkness works faster than any ship but drains one's life force. After sealing the Keyhole of Hollow Bastion, Leon reveals that when the Heartless are extinguished, it will be impossible to traverse worlds anymore because the world barriers will be reconstructed. Sora, although disappointed, knows it will be for the best. It is unknown what happened to the Gummi Ship after the trio landed in the End of the World, but it presumably stays in the world until it collapses, and then falls into the void of darkness.
Kingdom Hearts II
Yen Sid magically retrieves the Gummi Ship and returns it to Sora and company when they arrive at his tower. King Mickey likely uses his Gummi Ship to travel across worlds as well. In Radiant Garden, Uncle Scrooge reveals how the Gummi Ships were made. This time around, the gang have to unlock Gates in order to make it across worlds before Heartless appear there. Once again, it is unknown what happened to the Gummi Ship when The World That Never Was fell apart, but it is likely that it was recovered and used for Mickey to report to Yen Sid about the location of Ventus' heart later on.
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
Mickey, Donald and Goofy use the Gummi Ship to travel from the Mysterious Tower to Disney Castle to confront Maleficent, and likely use it to return.
Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-
In order for Sora to regain the powers he lost when Xehanort kidnapped his body, Yen Sid directs Sora and his friends to go seek training from Hercules at Olympus Coliseum. On board the Gummi Ship, Sora initially has trouble finding a route, but at Goofy's urging, takes Yen Sid's words to heart and uses his heart as his "guiding key", opening a Gate to the world.
Kingdom Hearts III
Sora, Donald, and Goofy often sit in the cockpit of the Gummi Ship as they decide what to do next and keep up with Riku, Mickey, and Ienzo on the Gummiphone.
After Xehanort's defeat, Riku uses the Gummi Ship to pick up Naminé at Radiant Garden, and Roxas, Xion, Hayner, Pence, Olette, Isa, and Lea at Twilight Town, and brings them all to the Destiny Islands for a party.
