Discover the Jungle Getaway Update!



Hey, Valley Villagers!

We're returning to Disney's The Lion King Realm in our latest free update to welcome two NEW friends! Now live on all platforms, embark on a "Jungle Getaway" to discover the art of relaxation with a laid-back duo and rock out with thrilling rewards in the latest Star Path—The Night Show!

Plenty of other surprises await, from a limited-time collaboration to many top-requested features and quality-of-life updates. Read on to learn more!

Return to The Lion King Realm in the Light of Day!




First revealed in our Valley Vignette blog from earlier this year, two new Villagers arrive in this update—Timon and Pumbaa from The Lion King!

As you return to their Realm, it seems like the stress of saving the Valley time and time again has taken its toll—with Timon declaring that you must learn the ways of hakuna matata! Of course, learning the art of relaxation isn't a one-step process, and you'll need to experience a few days and nights in the Realm. (Don't worry; time passes differently within!)

After you're sufficiently relaxed and have given your easygoing pals a hand with a sticky situation, they'll arrive in your Valley—bringing with them unique Quests, Friendship rewards, and aromas…? Continue the fun by helping them feel at home—which involves sorting out a "stinky" situation with Pumbaa and aiding Timon in cataloging the Valley's critters.

Get Ready to ROCK with a New Star Path!




Neon lights and pyrotechnic delights await you in this season's Star Path—The Night Show!

We're challenging you to build the stage of your dreams with furniture items featuring unique special effects such as neon, changing lights, fire, and more! Then, amp up your Avatar with rebellious clothing inspired by Disney Villains, Disney Princess characters, and of course, rock music.

This Star Path features a reduced number of rewards (reflected in a discounted Premium-tier cost and number of duties) as we build up to more content releases later this year—but don't let that fool you! It's full of rock-star-realness and high-quality collectibles! Make sure to complete it before it ends on November 27.

A Surprise Collaboration and More!




Loungefly backpacks are available now in the Valley! We're thrilled to share that we've collaborated with Loungefly, bringing multiple recreations of their statement-making backpacks to the Valley. Styles that you may already have in your personal collection can either be found in-game by completing The Night Show Star Path, as well as in the Premium Shop for a limited time. You can also redeem the code DDV2024OOOOO† in-game by November 20 at 9 am ET / 2 pm UTC to claim a Mickey BOO! Loungefly Backpack for your Avatar!

And don't forget to share a screenshot or fan art of your Avatar wearing one of the in-game Loungefly collaboration items for a chance to win one of six physical Halloween-themed bags in our Haunted Holiday Sweepstakes! Full sweepstakes details and rules here: https://gleam.io/1LFHa/haunted-holiday-sweepstakes

Scrooge McDuck gets new stock! Make sure to stop by Scrooge McDuck's Store for a chance to purchase additional furniture from Realms and Villager homes as they appear in daily stock rotations.

Premium Shop updates! New content arrives in weekly rotations, along with a recommendation system to help you collect items you may have missed.

In addition to the exciting new content coming to the Premium Shop this update, we are also adding a new Moonstone-pack option to the Moonstone menu in the Premium Shop. This pack will include both Moonstones and a seasonal Valley-inspired cosmetic item. It will be available for a limited time, and different seasonal Valley-inspired cosmetic items may be offered with future updates.

† Redemption code features both zeroes and the letter O: DDV20[One "ZERO"]24OOOOO[Five "LETTER O"].

Frightfully Delicious Treats Await!




The Trick-or-Treat event returns! From October 23 to 31, collect Candy Bowls that appear in the Plaza to gather green, purple, and red Candies. These sweets can be consumed or gifted to complete Event Duties—granting you seasonal rewards!

This year's event also brings with it a new craftable furniture item: Turn your event treats into Mickey's Halloween Candy Bowl! A crafting recipe will arrive in your in-game mailbox once the event starts.

Need the perfect Halloween costume? We've got you covered! All players can look forward to claiming an Evil Queen Costume FOR FREE from the Premium Shop as part of our seasonal festivities closer to Halloween. Keep an eye out on our social media and in-game for more news on its arrival!

Community-Driven Features


We want to extend a huge thanks to everyone who continues to participate in sharing their feedback on each and every update. Here are just a few of the highlights arriving in Jungle Getaway, inspired by players like you!



Customize the way you play! Arriving in this update are three additional options in the Settings menu in the Gameplay and Controls tabs. If you use a controller, check out the "New Edit Mode Controls" option to swap between editing playstyles, featuring a locked or free cursor.

The new "Use Alternative Sprint Button" allows you to use the newer Sprint button option that was introduced in our Dapper Delights update—or revert to the previous button option. Lastly, enabling the "Tap to Sprint" option will allow you to sprint by tapping your preferred sprint button option versus holding it.

Take to the air with new glider options! Get more use out of your favorite wing back accessories with a new glider option! All wings currently available in-game will be able to be worn as a glider accessory, replacing the "surfing" glider animation with a fluttering animation more befitting wings.

Never forget the task at hand with new tracking options for duties and crafting recipes, allowing them to appear instead of a Quest in the upper left portion of the screen.

Your Royal Tools become more useful with a new Photo Mode option, allowing your Avatar to hold a Royal Tool while snapping a pic! You'll be able to feature other handheld accessories as well, when equipped.

We can't wait to see how you enjoy diving into the Jungle Getaway update! Make sure to connect with us on our official social media accounts below and tag us in your in-game photos!

Jungle Getaway Update Patch Notes



Hey Valley Villagers!

We hope you enjoyed the recent Developer Update video! With our next content update releasing a little later this week, it’s about time to dig into patch notes.

Not only will we be returning to a familiar Realm for a new adventure in a new light, but we've also got a stunning collaboration coming to the game and a bunch of quality-of-life improvements that draw upon all-important player feedback.

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s “Jungle Getaway” Update arrives on October 9, 2024, so check out all the details below:

NEW CONTENT (AVAILABLE TO ALL PLAYERS*):


  • Return to Disney’s The Lion King Realm and experience the Realm in a new light with a day and night cycle, new quests, and new friends. Speaking of...
  • Two new characters! Embrace equal parts relaxation and antics as Timon and Pumbaa from Disney’s The Lion King arrive in the Valley, alongside new Friendship Quests and unique new items.
  • A new Star Path! Turn your Valley into a music festival with The Night Show Star Path, featuring furniture that’ll literally help you set the stage, a Rockstar Turtle animal companion, as well as clothing inspired by Disney Villains, Disney Princess, and rock music.
  • Dress to impress! Dig into an exciting collaboration with Loungefly, in which recreations of Loungefly’s statement-making backpacks will arrive in the game across the Star Path, Premium Shop and social media. Keep an eye out for more details in the launch day blog!
  • Prepare your pumpkins! The Trick or Treat in-game event returns to the Valley from October 23 to 31, featuring a brand new reward!
  • Weekly rotations to look forward to! Keep an eye out for new optional items in the Premium Shop (alongside some returning favorites), as well as new, weekly DreamSnaps challenges and rewards.
  • New shipment alert! Scrooge McDuck’s Store has received a new batch of goods for sale, including additional Realm decor!
  • Adjusted available Moonstone packs to introduce a new option that includes both Moonstones and a seasonal Valley inspired cosmetic item. This pack will be offered for a limited time and different seasonal cosmetic items may be offered with future updates.


* Please note: Disney Dreamlight Valley Arcade Edition does not include seasonal Star Paths or the Premium Shop.

IMPROVEMENTS (AVAILABLE TO ALL PLAYERS):


[h2]CONTROLS:[/h2]

  • Added a toggle to the Settings > Controls menu to select between two different camera control methods when using a gamepad in Edit Mode. Players will be able to select between an option that’s akin to the game’s original, free-flowing control style, or a new hybrid approach that locks the cursor to the center of the screen, while also giving the ability to move it freely by holding a button.
  • Please note: This control methods selection will apply to outdoor areas. Edit Mode while in the Player House will default to the original control style.
  • Added a toggle to the Settings > Controls menu to select between two different sprinting control methods when using a gamepad, allowing players to revert to the previous button mapping or use the updated button mapping (Left Bumper) introduced last update.
  • Added a toggle to the Settings > Gameplay menu to enable a “Tap to Sprint” control option, allowing players to start and stop sprinting at the press of a button without needing to hold it.
  • Added full support for wireless controllers on Steam without requiring Steam Input to be enabled. If you have not previously adjusted this option, the game will now default to "Built-In" support (our recommendation) and can be adjusted as needed in the Settings > Controls menu.


[h2]SCROOGE MCDUCK’S STORE:[/h2]

  • Scrooge’s McDuck’s Store will now display furniture items in place of empty clothing mannequins, including in the window displays.


[h2]DREAMSNAPS & PHOTO MODE:[/h2]

  • Added a “skip” button to the DreamSnaps voting screen, allowing players to skip up to 10 votes per day.
  • Added the ability for avatars to hold hand accessories (i.e. umbrellas) and Royal Tools while in Photo Mode.


[h2]PREMIUM SHOP:[/h2]

  • Added a new “Recommended” section to the Premium Shop, which will feature four additional items or bundles each week. The contents of this section will differ from player to player, based on their Premium Shop interests.



[h2]OTHER:[/h2]

  • Added the ability to equip wearable wings as a Glider in the Wardrobe. All wings currently available in the game will be equipable this way, replacing the “surfing” Glider animation with a fluttering animation more befitting of wings.
  • Added the ability to track your progress on individual Dreamlight Duties and Star Path Duties, as well as the collection of materials for crafting recipes via the on-screen Quest Tracker.
  • Various UI improvements were made to the Star Path menu.

End of Summer Event

Hey Valley Villagers!

We’re thrilled to see how you’ve been diving into the recently released “Dapper Delights” and “Treasures of Time” content – and we’ve got another surprise content drop arriving in-game soon!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]End of Summer Event[/h2]
Showcased in today’s Nintendo Direct, gear up to celebrate the end of the season with the new ‘End of Summer’ event arriving in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Running from September 4th - 26th, grab your binoculars and begin your search for specialty Marshmallows in-game! To fuel your hunt, you’ll also receive two new recipes for campfire-inspired delicacies, but you’ll need to gather the ingredients first.

While you’ll find 3 bushes in your Valley Plaza sporting pink marshmallows, you’ll need to stay alert for blue marshmallows appearing in the Plaza, Peaceful Meadow, Dazzle Beach, Forest of Valor, and Glade of Trust. Once you’ve collected a few – head over to your favorite cooking spot to create some tasty treats like S’mores to share with your friends and Valley Villagers.

These fluffy and sweet snacks aren’t just used for cooking, however! You’ll find brand new crafting recipes available to turn your marshmallows into campsite essentials, like a Bonfire Pit! This item, once placed, will allow you interact with it to take photos with your nearby Villagers – the perfect way to make an end of summer memory.
And, don’t forget to complete 2 new duties in-game by gifting and eating marshmallow-based dishes – granting you new wearables for your Avatar.
