How to unlock new characters in Disney Dreamlight Valley
There are a few different ways to unlock new characters in Disney Dreamlight Valley:
- Travel to Realms inside Dream Castle and complete each character’s questline.
- Unlock new areas of Dreamlight Valley that already have characters living inside them.
- Complete story missions and character quests.
The main way to get new characters is to visit their Realms in Dream Castle and complete their quests to convince them to move back to Dreamlight Valley. You’ll need to collect lots of Dreamlight to unlock each Realm, so this method can take quite a while.
Another way of unlocking characters is to open up new areas in Dreamlight Valley. Some of these will have characters waiting to meet you; for example, Ursula will become available once you get access to Dazzle Beach and complete her cave quest while Kristoff and Donald Duck will become available once you get access to the Forest of Valor.
