Plastic scrap may not seem like much initially, but it's an essential crafting material in Disney Dreamlight Valley. You'll need plastic scrap if you want to complete certain quests, such as "Give me a Sign" for Goofy, or if you want to craft trolley tracks and shelves. But compared to hardwood, stone, and even iron, it's a pretty elusive material. That's because it can only be found in two ways, one of which you unlock during a quest, which makes it slightly more challenging to track down...

[h3]Hey Valley Villagers![/h3]

Ring in the winter season with Disney Dreamlight Valley’s latest free update – Sew Delightful – now available on all platforms!

We hope you’re thread-y to welcome a new Villager, dive into an un-brr-lievable Star Path and play with all new features and improvements. Read on to learn more!

[previewyoutube][VIDEO: UPD14 Trailer on YouTube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]Welcome a new friend![/h2]



It seems like someone has spun messages around Kristoff’s home – although, he isn’t quite sure how to decipher them. The perfect task for the hero of the Valley (that’s you!) and the master of all things frightful (that’ll be Jack) – you’ll soon weave a way to welcoming a new Villager… but whom?

Just in time for the winter holiday season, but with more delights than Jack Skellington’s frights, Sally from Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas joins the Valley! With her own set of friendship rewards, Sally brings a series of exciting quests involving preposterous premonitions and creating the perfect date night.

[h2]A new Star Path – with a twist![/h2]



Live magically… or should we say ‘mag-ice-ally’ in this season’s Star Path: Frost & Fairies! Give your Villagers their favorites gifts, clear away Night Thorns, and complete Duties as fae royalty in your domain. Expect enchanting rewards such as a gleaming harp of ice and silk, a frozen throne, crystalline décor, and unique fairy fashions.

This season also introduces Bonus Rewards! Once you’ve completed the Premium tier of the Star Path, tackle another set of duties to claim variants of rewards, including a cozy Winter Cottage House Dream Style!

You can also expect additional stock in daily rotations in Scrooge McDuck’s Store as well as new optional content in weekly Premium Shop rotations.

[h2]Top DreamSnaps feature[/h2]
Get inspired by your fellow Valley Villagers with the Top DreamSnaps of the Week feature! View the top 3 images from each weekly challenge – ranked by the highest-scored points among eligible players.



While we can’t wait to see what you create, you will have the option to opt in or out of this feature when you submit your image to each challenge. Due to compliance with certain rules and standards, PlayStation players are not eligible to participate in this feature.

[h2]Do you want to craft a snowman?[/h2]
Festive in-game events return in this update – with updates to rewards and activities!

The Gift of Giving event brings unique crafting resources to your Valley with Festive Wrapping Paper appearing around Scrooge McDuck’s Store from December 18 to December 31. Use these to craft the perfect furniture for a holiday dinner with your Villagers – unless you find yourself busy fishing red and green ripples for Festive Fish!

In the mood for a cooler quest? Through December 18 to December 31, you’ll also want to check your Plaza for a chest that holds the first step towards crafting yourself a whimsical snow man.
And don’t forget to play between December 25 and December 31, visiting the Dream Castle for even
more gifts under the Dreamlight Tree!

[h3]Hey Valley Villagers![/h3]

While we are sure you’re busy discovering every nook and cranny of the Storybook Vale, additional exciting areas are soon to arrive for all Disney Dreamlight Valley players as a part of our December 4 Sew Delightful update – Floating Islands!



Featured in our 2024 Showcase Stream, you may have first noticed these islands floating in the skies above the Valley – inaccessible – until now!

Once you’ve completed the main story quest “What’s Left Behind”, check in with the Valley’s resident prognosticator Merlin, who has been researching the magical calculations required to connect the Wishing Wells found in each biome to those residing on the Floating Islands – starting off the quest “Islands in the Sky”.

Using a Wishing Well, or the Map Fast Travel Menu, you can access the first of these islands – themed after the Plaza! It seems like in addition to discovering a new space to practice your decorating skills, Merlin too has found an opportunity to move the Dreamlight Library to somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of the Valley…



After you’ve helped him out – the Plaza Floating Island becomes available to make your own – along with the 3 other islands, based off of some of the Valley’s other Biomes. Additional Floating Islands may be added in future updates – so stay tuned!

Using the Map Fast Travel Menu will allow you to unlock these additional islands, each costing 15,000 Dreamlight. With the exception of a Wishing Well, each features roughly 130x130 squares of decorating space – providing you with a blank canvas to express yourself! Each Floating Island also hosts its own decorating island limit – freeing up space in the Valley for additional decorations.

Will you house all your Villains on an island to keep an eye on them, or perhaps move your Avatar’s home, creating your personal paradise? The decision is yours, but, you won’t be alone! Your Villagers can be found visiting the Floating Islands, and players participating in a Valley Visit with you can also take in the sights of your island creations.

The Floating Islands feature will arrive for all players as a part of the Sew Delightful update, launching on December 4th. We can’t wait to see what you create with each new island canvas!

See you in the Valley (and on a Floating Island)!
