10 tips to get you started

Use these Disney Dreamlight Valley tips to help you get started and learn the basics. Things like knowing how to get the most out of the interface, getting information from the Collection menu or following quests, learning how to interact and hang out with villagers, and how to efficiently get certain resources.

All Disney characters

We currently have a list of all the Disney Dreamlight Valley characters you can find in the game. Each entry also has some information on how to get each character, but you’ll only get most of it as the story progresses. More characters will be added over time, so you’ll also find a list of upcoming Disney additions.

All recipes

There are 164 Disney Dreamlight Valley recipes to cook, so we’ve compiled this list with ingredient lists so you can create your own. Food is usually eaten to restore Energy, but it can also be sold for profit, so we have also created a list of the best recipes for replenishing energy and making money in the game.

How does energy work?

As you use your vehicles, you will gradually deplete your Disney Dreamlight Valley Energy bar, which will need to be refilled if you want to continue using your vehicles. Food and rest are your best options, but you can find all the details on how Energy works in our guide.

Earn Star Coins

Disney Dreamlight Valley Star Coins are the main currency in the game and you have to pay for everything from clothes to furniture to houses for other villagers. Earning can be slow in the early stages of the game, so our guide will help you learn how to make Star Coins quickly.

Get Dreamlight

Disney Dreamlight Valley Dreamlight is another currency you’ll find in the game and is used to unlock new areas, whether it’s the Valley Village biomes or the Realms in the Dream Castle. You’ll earn them gradually over time by completing many missions while doing anything in the Valley – think Nook Miles in Animal Crossing: New Horizons!

fast travel

Slowing down on foot can be really slow, so knowing how to unlock and use Disney Dreamlight Valley fast travel can help you save a lot of time. When you unlock a new village area, getting the Wishing Well up and running should be one of your first priorities!

Upgrade your home and warehouse

When you first start Disney Dreamlight Valley, storage space is scarce, and as you gather every resource you can, you’ll quickly fill up the storage chest in your home and backpack. That’s why you’ll want to know how to upgrade your home in Disney Dreamlight Valley, which will also improve your storage chest, and you can learn more storage tips from our guide.

Founder Packs

If you want to play Disney Dreamlight Valley during the current early access period, you will need to purchase one of the Founders’ Packs. These Disney Dreamlight Valley Founder’s Packs include all kinds of extras, including clothing, furniture, and lots of Moonstones. Learn all about them in this guide

multiplayer

There aren’t any Disney Dreamlight Valley multiplayer games in the game at the moment, but it’s something Gameloft’s developers are planning. Don’t expect multiplayer to launch anytime soon as it looks like it’ll be added to the game in 2023 at the earliest, but we’re looking forward to trying it out when it does!

Royal Vehicles

One of the first missions you have to complete involves getting all the Disney Dreamlight Valley Royal Tools. These essential items are scattered around the plaza starting area, you’ll need to do some research to get them. If you’re having trouble looking for them or want to speed up this quest to get to the rest of the game. Our guide will help you.

Ratatouille recipe

If you’re visiting Remy in his Realm, you’ll need to create the Disney Dreamlight Valley ratatouille recipe to complete the quest and impress Remy. Since Remy annoyingly only gives tips on what ingredients a ratatouille dish needs, if you get stuck at this step, use our guide and leave you to toss in the pot and hope for the best.

croissant recipe

In Mickey Mouse’s quest to get Minnie back, he will task you with preparing a nice picnic dinner, which means you need to know how to make the Disney Dreamlight Valley crudites recipe. Fortunately, it’s very easy, although somewhat specific, but our guide has all the details.

find seaweed

Disney Dreamlight Valley seaweed pops up in all sorts of quests because you usually have to get it to make fiber – sometimes you need to turn that fiber into rope! It’s also used in a number of recipes, but you can’t go overboard to get it and have to use your fishing rod instead.

Mystical Cave puzzles

After unlocking Dazzle Beach and taking on the ‘With Great Power…’ quest, you’ll have to meet Ursula and eventually enter a cave to solve three Disney Dreamlight Valley Mystical Cave puzzles. These puzzles aren’t particularly difficult to solve, but they do get you a few different objects that you don’t know how to get, so this guide will speed things up for you.

Find Emerald

There are several missions that require you to acquire Disney Dreamlight Valley Emeralds to craft magic objects. Mickey will ask you for one as part of the ‘Memory Growth’ quest and Kristoff will request two for the ‘Lost in the Dark Grove’ quest to rescue Donald Duck. Unfortunately, Emeralds are quite rare, so we’ve put together a farming guide to help you get the gems you need fast.
