Tips for beginners

If you're just starting out, don't dig a single garden hole without first reading up on our 20 tips for new players. We go over everything from how to make money quickly or boost your friendships (and reap better rewards as a result) to overlooked elements like checking your mail regularly. Time is money in Dreamlight Valley, so spend it wisely.

Cross-save and cross-play

You can take your town across platforms using cloud saves. Here's how to set it up.

Upgrading your house

Upgrading your house in a game like this is one of the most exciting parts of the game. Here's how to do it in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Recipe list

With over 160 recipes, you can spend hours just working in the kitchen. Here's the full list of recipes. And if you need the Extra Fizzy Root Beer recipe specifically, we have that, too.

Ingredients

Recipes demand ingredients, and those are found in several different ways. Make sure you know where to find all ingredients using our guide.

Fishing

Fishing is easy in itself, but knowing where to find each fish is a bit more confusing. Check out our guide on all fish locations.

Foraging

When you need crafting elements such as clay, stone, or rope, you can find yourself lost in a pile of supplies. Here's what to know about foraging in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Mining

Like fishing and foraging, mining is a crucial part of your day, but it's not always clear what you might mine or where to go when you need something specific. This guide on gem locations should clarify things.

Energy and stamina

Doing all that mining, fishing, and more will wear you out quickly if you're not careful. Use our energy guide to best understand how to conserve, refill, and even overfill your energy in Dreamlight Valley.

Unlock all characters

There are tons of friendly faces to meet in Dreamlight Valley, and most of them won't predate your arrival, which means you'll need to invite them to your village or otherwise discover them. The methods to unlocking all characters in Disney Dreamlight Valley vary quite a bit, so use our guide to know how to bring everyone to town.

Friendships

Turning neighbors into friends is a crucial part of your journey in Dreamlight Valley, and your time should be well spent if you're looking to become best pals with Mickey, Remy, Anna, and everyone else. Here's how to best level up your friendships.

Companions

Though 'companion' is a synonym for friend, in Dreamlight Valley, the word refers exclusively to your non-anthropomorphized animal pals, such as the game's many critters, as well as some exclusive variants. Our critter feeding guide is below on this very page, but we also have a list on how to swap companions, how to unlock Pua as a companion--hint: they're a quest-exclusive--and a full companion list for you to use.

Star Path

The Star Path is Disney Dreamlight Valley's battle pass system. The most recent one you can take on is the Wonder of Pixar Star Path.

Goofy Stalls

Goofy's quite the entrepreneur in Dreamlight Valley, setting up shop in every biome. You'll want to know what he's buying or selling at each of them, so this guide explains Goofy Stall locations and inventory.

Critters

Squirrels, turtles, and more critters will wander the town and sometimes seek your attention. Here's how to feed and interact with them.

Realms

Realms are the story missions that transport you to far-off Disney worlds based on brands like Frozen, Moana, and Wall-E. Here's a list of all confirmed (and rumored) Realms so far.

Tricky quests

Though the game is pretty approachable for all ages, Disney Dreamlight Valley has a few quests that might stump you. Check out our guides on the With Great Power questline and the Secret door quest from Mickey Mouse. We also have a guide on getting Rich Soil.
