Run around constantly and try to lock on to them. When you're successful, cast Magnet to draw them in. Follow this up with a combo and Simba's Limit. If you aren't adept at using Magnet, Simba's Limit works when you're within range.

When he awakens, dash up to him and use the Reaction Command on his head or legs to jump on his back. While on the boss' back, lock onto the Heartless' core and attack it.

You can dodge it if you stay close and continue to attack the monster from its back until you get thrown off. Also, use the Dash ability while on the ground to avoid the Groundshaker's shockwaves and floating lasers. Rather than rush up, circle around wide enough to avoid his attacks. When you reach his head, lock onto either eye and swing away but avoid the lines of fire. As reduce his life, watch for the Fend Reaction Command to begin the openign series of reactions all over again!
