Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
After training Mickey on the night before Terra and Aqua's Mark of Mastery exam, Yen Sid relays to him a, "feeling that something terrible is about to transpire." The next morning, following the completion of the exam, Yen Sid contacts Master Eraqus via the crystal in the Land of Departure's throne room about the threat of the Unversed.

When Terra visits Yen Sid's tower, he asks him for guidance about Master Xehanort, Vanitas, and the Unversed. After Terra leaves, Yen Sid comments "I had hope Xehanort, your heart would no longer lead you astray". Later, Ventus shows up at his tower with a Star Shard, and Master Yen Sid uses divination magic to locate Mickey. Aqua later returns Mickey to his tower, and Master Yen Sid tells her of Master Eraqus's destruction and that the murder was committed by Master Xehanort and Terra. Sometime after Aqua leaves for the Keyblade Graveyard, Mickey departs to assist her and her friends.

Following the defeat of Vanitas, Mickey returns with Aqua and a comatose Ventus. Master Yen Sid finds himself unable to sense Ven's heart and encourages Aqua to believe in their friendship—which serves as the key to bring him home one day. Some time later, Mickey sorrowfully hands in the Star Shard and the Star Seeker, thinking he has disgraced his master, and prepares to depart. However, Master Yen Sid gives him back the Keyblade, and he happily accepts.

Kingdom Hearts II
Eleven years later in Kingdom Hearts II, Yen Sid serves as Sora's tutor to what lies ahead of him in his journey. He lives in a large tower in a small world-of-sorts connected to Twilight Town via a Magical Train. He dwells at its top, where he studies the Heartless, the Nobodies and Organization XIII. When Sora, Donald Duck, and Goofy arrive, he tells them of the enemies that they will face in the near future (Nobodies, Heartless and the Organization). He also returns to them their Gummi Ship and the co-ordinates to Hollow Bastion.

It is unknown what happens to Master Yen Sid and the 3 fairies, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. The last we see of Master Yen Sid is after the Gummi ship is returned to Sora, Donald, and Goofy, and he vanishes. The last seen of the three fairies is when Maleficent's cloak is brought to the tower and they decide to tell Yen Sid about this. Later on if you visit the tower, it is overtaken by Nobodies (more specifically, Sniper, Dragoon, Berserker, Dancer, Gambler, and Dusk), and neither Yen Sid or the fairies are anywhere to be seen. It is assumed, however, that he escaped to Traverse Town, Disney Castle or Hollow Bastion, though most likely in an inaccessible area in the later two worlds, while the fairies either returned to Aurora's world or followed Master Yen Sid to wherever he escaped.

Epic Mickey
Years ago, Yen Sid created a home for the forgotten and retired aspects of Disney. But one day, his magic mirror opened into the home of Mickey Mouse. When he entered Yen Sid's workshop after he was resting from that evening's work, Mickey played with the magic paintbrush and created a monster, ruining Yen Sid's creation in the process, now dubbed the Wasteland.

Trivia

 * In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Master Eraqus states that Yen Sid is a retired Keyblade Master. This makes him and Mickey the only Disney characters to be a Keyblade wielder.
 * In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Master Yen Sid wonders if Master Xehanort still has "distracting thoughts". This is a sign that the two have possibly met before.
 * Kingdom Hearts II marks Yen Sid's first instance of speaking.
 * "Yen Sid" is "Disney" in reverse, similarly to how "Eraqus" is an anagram of "Square" referring to Square Enix.
 * Yen Sid seems to have a distinct affiliation to the Star Seeker Keyblade as it was used by Mickey while under his tutelage and was given to Sora when he obtained his Valor Form from Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. It's possible that it was the Keyblade he used during his time as a Keyblade Master.
 * The name, "Disney" spelled backwards, was given to him by Fantasia animators.
