To fly in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you need to have and equip a wing glider. Here’s how you can equip wings to get started flying around the valley.

  • Get a pair of wings. There are lots of different ones you can acquire, and although most of them are Premium Shop exclusive items, you can also earn them by leveling up, completing certain quests, and through Star Path events.
  • Open your Wardrobe. You can access it through your Inventory. The button you need to press varies by platform, but it’s always displayed right next to the backpack Inventory icon in the top right corner.
  • Select the Gliders section. It’s the second to last category right before you get into the appearance customization options.
  • Choose a pair of wings. Not all Gliders are wings, so pick any from you available items. Gliders that aren’t wings like the Island Surf Glider and Dreamlight Magic won’t allow you to fly. Instead, you must pick a Glider that has the word “wings” in it to access the flying ability.
  • Starting gliding. Once you have wings equipped, you can glide, also known as sprint, to effectively fly around.

Make sure you select wings from the Gliders page and not the Back page, since they can be worn either way. If you choose them from the Back page, you won’t glide with them and they’ll instead act as a cosmetic accessory item, so choosing the right category is crucial.
