Disney Dreamlight Valley’s newest season, Wonderland Whimsy, has finally introduced Alice in Wonderland to the Valley. The addition of the Silver Age film has expanded Disney Dreamlight Valley’s character roster with a character from the back half of Walt Disney Animation Studio’s canon, which is much different from the game’s existing roster. This addition has certainly excited players, as many have requested that older films from Walt Disney Animation Studios receive more representation in Disney Dreamlight Valley. However, the theme of this update, and one of its current events, makes one Disney tie-in unlikely for the immediate future.
Of course, Disney Dreamlight Valley is no stranger to themed events, regardless of whether these events are themed to the game’s current update or a coinciding holiday. However, one upcoming film release from the media giant would have been the perfect excuse to add more content for a character already present in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Why Disney Dreamlight Valley's Star Wars Content May Put Marvel on the Shelf For Now
Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Star Wars content may mean that MCU content for the hit simulation game won't arrive anytime soon.
The Cheshire Cat Chaos Event
Two characters from Alice in Wonderland joined Disney Dreamlight Valley in the Wonderland Whimsy update: the titular Alice and the Cheshire Cat. The wacky mishaps the Cheshire Cat causes in Alice in Wonderland are the direct inspiration for the new Cheshire Cat Chaos event, which began on May 7 and will end on May 20. Throughout the event, paw prints began to pop up inside the realms. Players can remove these paw prints using the Watering Can, which will in turn complete Dreamlight Tasks. They will then be rewarded with Alice in Wonderland furniture items. Cracks are also appearing across the Valley thanks to the event, which players can resolve by digging with their shovel. These cracks award players unique memories and furniture pieces.
There are four quests tied to Cheshire Cat Chaos: “Calmer of Chaos,” “Clean Your Room!,” “Jungle Bungles,” and “More Than a Mirage.” The first quest has players remove cracks in the Valley, while the latter three require players to remove paw prints from the Toy Story, Lion King, and Aladdin Realms respectively. This means that players must have Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Simba, Nala, Jasmine, and Aladdin in order to complete the Cheshire Cat Chaos event. But the star of Disney’s upcoming film isn’t needed for players hoping to put an end to the Cheshire Cat’s antics. Instead, players will have to play with Stitch on their own time.
Lilo & Stitch Hits Theaters Soon
The live-action adaptation of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Lilo & Stitch releases on May 23 to kick off Memorial Day Weekend. Stitch is one of Disney’s most recognizable icons, with merchandise and content for the cuddly and chaotic alien remains abundant. Surprisingly, Stitch was not available during Disney Dreamlight Valley’s beta or at its initial launch. Instead, the lovable alien was added in the Mission in Uncharted Space Update (v.1.2). In fairness, this was only the second update Disney Dreamlight Valley had ever received, ultimately making Stitch an early addition to the hit simulation game. Nevertheless, it appears as though Disney Dreamlight Valley has held back on overstuffing itself with Stitch content, but perhaps Gameloft and Disney are showing too much restraint.
The live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch releases in theaters only three days after the Cheshire Cat Chaos event is set to conclude. While this still leaves some possibility for Disney Dreamlight Valley to have a Stitch-themed event, three days is a very narrow window of time. Perhaps new Stitch-themed items will be added to the game’s Premium Shop. After all, Disney Dreamlight Valley did a similar move around May 4, adding several bundles in celebration of Star Wars Day. It’s unfortunate that Stitch may not get his time in the sun this time around, but as one of Disney’s most beloved characters, Stitch will probably get more time under Disney Dreamlight Valley’s spotlight sometime in the future.
