The Storybook Vale update is primarily focused on adding new content for players who purchase the DLC. Unlike most other updates, this one doesn’t have much for base game players, but there’s another update arriving on Dec. 4 that will be dedicated to regular Disney Dreamlight Valley, which means even more content will be here soon.

Regardless of whether you’re adding The Storybook Vale to your collection, there are still new additions and changes for all. It can be tough to find the new content on your own though, so here’s a complete breakdown of the patch notes for The Storybook Vale update.

New content (for The Storybook Vale DLC owners)

  • The land of Storybook Vale is now accessible through the Stardust Port.
  • Storybook Vale includes three new biomes to explore and decorate: The Bind, Everafter, and Mythopia.
  • A new storyline quest series is available to learn about Storybook Vale. This quest series involves the Lorekeeper, the battle between Hades and Maleficent, and unraveling what’s gone wrong around this island.
  • Three new characters can be recruited. This includes Merida from Brave, Flynn Rider from Tangled, and Hades from Hercules. Two more characters, Maleficient and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, will be released for this DLC in the summer of 2025.
  • The Royal Net tool can be used to capture Snippets around the island. These can be used to help you learn about the Vale and unravel the mystery associated with it. It also comes with a new Photo Mode pose.

  • You can complete tapestry puzzles through a new minigame mechanic to unravel the mystery of the Vale and unlock special decorative items for your home.

  • Scrooge McDuck’s shop has lots of new items for sale to go with the Vale.
  • Scrooge McDuck’s Store and Chez Remy have a new look that matches the autumn design of The Bind biome.
  • There are lots of new ingredients, collectibles, clothing, and decorative items. A full list of these isn’t available yet, but some of the ones that have been teased include Buried Lightning Strikes, Bougainvillea, Bioluminescent Moss, Ambrosia, Poppies, Green Beans, Koi, Sea Wolf fish, Sea Grapes, and Porcini Mushrooms.

  • Each Scrooge McDuck shop you have placed now has a unique stock. This means you can visit the valley, Eternity Isle, and the Vale to find three completely different shop stocks if you have all three unlocked.
  • You can now pose with your favorite glider or wings in Photo Mode.

  • Fixed Moana’s Fishing Boat displaying an incorrect number of fish caught.
  • Fixed an issue where Wrought Iron fences wouldn’t place and connect correctly.
  • Fixed an issue that caused avatars to stop sprinting when turning with the Tap to Sprint option enabled.
  • Fixed a problem with Premium Shop visuals.

We’ve only listed all of the most important content and changes here, so if you want to know everything included in this update, you may want to review the official patch notes.

As you embark on a new adventure throughout the Vale, be sure to keep on top of your The Night Show Star Path duties like chatting with an adventurer and investor and opening some memories. This event won’t be around for much longer and it has plenty of exclusive assets worth claiming like Loungefly items, so it’s worth finishing while you still can.
