The world of Disney is a massive one and even though Disney Dreamlight Valley already reflects many beloved parts of the Disney franchise, there is still so much more beyond what has already been introduced to the game. If you’re looking for what to expect next, here is a breakdown of the roadmap and everything else that has been shared about the next updates arriving in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

There are currently four known free updates in Disney Dreamlight Valley Gameloft has announced are arriving in the future. These updates are:

  • Late Winter 2024 update
  • Early Spring 2024 update
  • Late Spring 2024 update
  • Summer 2024 update

Late Winter 2024 Monsters Inc. Disney Dreamlight Valley update

Sometime around February or March, a Monsters, Inc. Realm will open as Mike Wazowski and Sulley join the valley. With this, there will be a lot of new quests as you work through whatever chaos is unraveling in the Realm and work toward adding both characters to your valley.

No other details for the late Winter 2024 update have been shared just yet, but most of it will likely focus on the Monsters, Inc. Realm and the two new villagers included with it. We also might get a new Star Path with this update as the devs mentioned having one with every update going forward in the first Disney Dreamlight Valley showcase.

Early Spring 2024 Disney Dreamlight Valley update

In either April or May, the early Spring update will bring a “vibrant” new villager to the valley. Gameloft hasn’t revealed exactly who this is yet, but the teaser image on the roadmap is a close-up shot of the front of Donald Duck’s boat, the S.S. Daisy.

This seems to hint at the arrival of none other than Daisy Duck herself. Daisy Duck has been the primary member of the “Mickey & Friends” group players have noticed missing and her arrival has been highly anticipated, so the devs seem to be confirming she is finally on her way.

The early Spring update will also include a continuation of the A Rift in Time storyline if you have purchased this expansion pass. This update to the expansion is called “The Spark of Imagination” and will feature the arrival of another pass-exclusive villager plus more secrets to uncover in the Ancient’s Landing biome.

Although Gameloft hasn’t shared who this villager is, they’ve been described as “a very lucky” character, which seems to possibly be a hint for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. If so, this means that there are two characters in this update, Daisy Duck for all players with the base game and Oswald for those who also have the expansion pass.

Late Spring 2024 Disney Dreamlight Valley update

The late Spring 2024 update will arrive sometime around May or June and this is the most vague update of all. Gameloft’s only teaser for it is a Realm door opening with cherry blossom flowers blowing out of it alongside a line that says, “You don’t find a Realm like this in every Dynasty.”

Based on these teasers, the late Spring update seems to include the arrival of the iconic Disney princess Mulan and a Mulan-themed Realm to go with her. If this is right, we’ll likely get at least one other character from the film in this update too, perhaps the sassy sidekick dragon Mushu or Mulan’s love interest Li Shang. No one from Mulan is on the list of leaked characters, so anyone from the film could potentially be included in this update.

Summer 2024 Tiana Disney Dreamlight Valley update

Tiana from The Princess and the Frog will arrive in the Summer 2024 update, which should launch around June or July. Since Tiana is renowned for her amazing cooking, this update will also feature new “culinary delights” to accompany her.

Players have long been hoping for Tiana’s arrival and that she’ll also have her own restaurant like Remy from Ratatouille does. Her arrival is now confirmed, but it’s still unknown whether she’ll also bring a new place to dine to the valley, although the culinary teaser alongside her is certainly a good sign she might.

This update will also feature the final add-on to the paid A Rift in Time expansion with the “Treasures of Time” storyline conclusion. You’ll fully put a stop to Jafar’s schemes with this update and likely recruit him as a villager with the official ending of this quest.

More details are sure to become available as Disney Dreamlight Valley’s next updates draw closer, and as they do, all new information will be added here.
