✨ Lucky You! Event Guide

✨ A little seasonal magic has arrived in Disney Dreamlight Valley with the return of the Lucky You! Event, running from March 11 to March 17, bringing festive decorations and special crafting recipes inspired by St. Patrick’s Day. This limited-time event encourages a bit of exploration around the Valley as you search for lucky finds that can be used to craft themed items and decorate your village.

Throughout the event, Three-Leaf Clovers and Four-Leaf Clovers can be discovered around the Valley, spawning on the ground across all biomes. These clovers are only available while the event is active and act as the main event resources used to craft exclusive furniture items. If you happen to have an Ancient Vacuum placed in a biome, you can also use it to quickly collect any clovers that spawn there, with each item costing 10 Mist to gather.

Here's how the clovers will appear during the event:

March 11 to March 16.
Three-Leaf Clover - Spawns every 5 minutes (maximum of 9 spawning at a time)
Four-Leaf Clover - Spawns every 90 minutes (maximum of 1 spawning at a time)

March 17.
Three-Leaf Clover - Spawns every 90 minutes (maximum of 1 spawning at a time)
Four-Leaf Clover - Spawns every 15 minutes (maximum of 9 spawning at a time)

How to Unlock the Lucky Shirt

Alongside the furniture items, the Lucky You! Event also includes a fun wearable reward. By collecting and keeping seven Four-Leaf Clovers, you’ll unlock the Lucky Shirt through the event duty “Lucky You!”, which can be claimed through the Events tab in the menu. This themed shirt is a fun way to dress your avatar in full festive style while exploring the Valley.

During the Lucky You! event, three themed furniture items can be crafted. Each of these items requires event-exclusive clovers gathered throughout the Valley during the event, along with additional crafting materials.

✨ Villager Overview: Mulan

✨ This week’s additional Villager Overview highlights Mulan, the courageous warrior known for her bravery, loyalty, and determination. Mulan brings a strong yet peaceful presence to Valley life once she settles in. While she may be recognised as a Disney princess, Mulan’s character has always stood out for her strength and resilience. Seeing her walking through the Valley alongside the other villagers feels like a natural fit, and her arrival adds another memorable story to the growing collection of characters who now call the Valley home. She also introduces Mulan’s Tea Stall, a unique service that allows you to collect special tea leaves that can be used in recipes.

Below you’ll find everything you need to know about unlocking Mulan, from her friendship quests to the rewards you can earn along the way.

🔓 How to Unlock Mulan

(Click on any image to enlarge)

To add Mulan to the game, you’ll first need to unlock the Mulan Realm, which can be found inside the Dream Castle. Once inside the realm, you’ll begin a series of realm quests that introduces you to Mulan and the training camp where she is preparing alongside the Imperial Army. During the realm questline, you’ll help restore the training area and assist Mulan with preparing the camp before completing her final realm quest “Protecting the Camp.”

After completing the realm quests, you’ll be able to officially welcome Mulan to the Valley by placing and constructing Mulan’s House, which becomes her permanent residence once the build is complete. Her home has a beautiful design inspired by traditional East Asian architecture, featuring elegant roof details and warm wooden tones. I particularly love how versatile it is when decorating - it works perfectly for cherry blossom gardens, cultural builds, or more peaceful nature-inspired areas of the Valley.

📜 Complete Mulan Friendship Quest List

Mulan’s friendship quests focus heavily on perseverance, personal growth, and supporting the Valley’s community. Many of her quests revolve around training, preparation, and helping others develop confidence - themes that closely reflect her story in the original film. Below is the complete list of Mulan’s friendship quests as you level up your friendship with her.

Level 2: A Daily Regime

Level 4: The Shadow Play

Level 7: The Art of Fun 

Level 10: Training Games

As with other villagers, you can increase Mulan’s friendship level by:

• Giving favourite daily gifts (maximum of 3 per day)

• Having daily conversations

• Completing friendship quests

• Asking her to hang out while completing activities around the Valley

Spending time with villagers while gathering resources, fishing, mining, or gardening is one of the fastest ways to increase friendship levels and unlock their rewards.

🎁 Mulan's Friendship Rewards

As you progress through Mulan’s friendship levels, you’ll unlock a range of rewards inspired by her story and the aesthetic of the film. These include clothing pieces, decorative items, and motifs that reflect her warrior training and cultural heritage.

Level 2: Fa Family Wardrobe (Furniture item)

Level 3: Design Motif (Customisable)

Level 4: 500 Star Coins

Level 5: Carved Jade Bracelet (Clothing item)

Level 6: Design Motif (Customisable)

Level 7: 1,000 Star Coins

Level 8: Hexagonal Window (Furniture item)

Level 9: Design Motif (Customisable)

Level 10: Imperial Silk Ensemble (Clothing item; unlocks after completing her level 10 friendship quest)

⭐ Completing Mulan’s level 10 friendship quest also unlocks the Golden Dragon Trophy (furniture item).

🧺 Mulan’s Tea Stall

In addition to her friendship quests, Mulan also introduces a unique service to the Valley through Mulan’s Tea Stall, offering Chrysanthemum Tea Leaves, Jasmine Tea Leaves, and Oolong Tea Leaves. Once unlocked through her level 2 friendship quest, the stall allows you to obtain these tea leaves at no cost, though you can only collect a maximum of three of each type per day. These tea leaves are unique to her stall and cannot be found elsewhere.

The stall itself is also a lovely decorative addition, fitting beautifully into garden areas, markets, or cultural themed builds. Its design complements Mulan’s house nicely and adds another small piece of her world to the Valley.

✨ Mulan brings a really refreshing presence to the Valley. Her calm determination and quiet confidence make her feel very different from many of the other characters, and it’s always nice seeing her walking through the Valley as part of the community. Her home, tea stall, and friendship quests all add a small piece of her world to Dreamlight Valley, and together they create a lovely reminder of her story.

If you’ve already welcomed Mulan to your Valley, you’ll also meet her loyal guardian dragon along the way - you can read the full Mushu Villager Overview here.

Thanks for joining me for today’s Villager Overview! Mulan has now been added to the Villager Overviews hub, where you can explore guides for other characters currently living in the Valley 📖

✨ Cooking Recipes From Eternity Isle | Entrees: Part 2

✨ Today’s cooking adventure takes us back to Eternity Isle, where I’ve put together a small collection of 10 entrée recipes that really show off the variety this DLC brought to Dreamlight Valley’s kitchen. From sizzling skillet meals to hearty stews and comfort-food classics, these dishes feel like the kind of meals you’d cook after a long day of exploring the Isle.

What I particularly enjoy about this set is how balanced it feels. Some meals lean into bold island flavours, while others feel familiar and comforting - the sort of dishes you’d happily place on a dining table build or serve up during a cozy evening in the Valley. Seeing them all displayed together made me realise how many different cuisines and styles Eternity Isle quietly added to the game.

A few personal favourites in this group would probably have to be Fabulous Fajitas, Hawaiian Pizza, and the Milky Way Stew. Each one feels visually distinct, and they add a bit of personality to cooking setups or themed builds. On the other end of the spectrum, classics like Good Ol’ Fashioned Burger and Meat Pie are simple but reliable staples that always feel satisfying to cook.

How to Cook These Recipes
(Click on any image to enlarge)

🌿 These recipes draw from ingredients found across both Eternity Isle and the wider Valley. Some meals rely on ingredients you may already have stocked up in your inventory, while others incorporate ingredients unique to the Isle itself. That mix makes these meals enjoyable to work through - simple enough to cook regularly, but still encouraging a bit of exploration while gathering ingredients.

Below is a full breakdown of each recipe featured in this entry, including ingredients, star ratings, energy values and Star Coin sell prices. The Energy and Star Coin values may vary depending on the ingredients used - especially when recipes allow for generic items like “Any Fruit” or when extra ingredients are added. The values listed below are the minimum amounts.

I’ll continue sharing more Eternity Isle cooking collections throughout the year, alongside plenty of other recipes from across the Valley - so there’s still lots more to come!

Thanks for joining me in today’s cooking journal entry, and be sure to check back again soon for more recipes and cozy kitchen inspiration 📖

✨ Villager Overview: Mushu

✨ This week’s Villager Overview focuses on Mushu from Mulan, the self-proclaimed guardian dragon who joins the Valley from the Mulan Realm. Known for his quick wit, bold confidence, and tendency to get himself into trouble, Mushu quickly brings a lively energy to Valley life once he arrives. Although he may be small in size, Mushu’s personality more than makes up for it, and his constant commentary makes him one of the more entertaining characters to have wandering around the Valley.

Below you’ll find everything you need to know about unlocking Mushu, progressing through his friendship quests, and the rewards you can earn along the way.

🔓 How to Unlock Mushu

(Click on any image to enlarge)

To unlock Mushu, you’ll first need to open the Mulan Realm, located inside the Dream Castle, and progress through the realm storyline alongside Mulan by completing all realm quests. Completing the final realm quest "Clearing the Road" marks the point where Mushu officially becomes available as a villager in your Valley.

Unlike many other characters, Mushu doesn’t have a separate house to place in the Valley. Instead, he lives with Mulan in Mulan’s House, which is constructed when Mulan is first welcomed to the Valley. Mulan’s House is another favourite of mine - I love the exterior, which opens up plenty of decorating possibilities, from cherry blossom-inspired builds to something a little more culturally influenced.

📜 Complete Mushu Friendship Quest List

Mushu’s friendship quests reflect his mischievous personality and his determination to prove himself as a capable guardian. Many of his quests involve helping villagers, learning from mistakes, and occasionally causing a bit of chaos along the way. Here are the friendship quests you’ll encounter as you level Mushu up:

Level 2: A Reminder in Stone 

Level 4: The M.U.S.H.U. Program

Level 7: The Guardian Party

Level 10: The Tiny Villagers Society

As with other villagers, you can increase Mushu’s friendship level by:

• Giving favourite daily gifts

• Having daily conversations

• Completing friendship quests

• Asking Mushu to hang out while completing activities around the Valley

Spending time with villagers while gathering resources, fishing, mining, or gardening is one of the fastest ways to increase friendship levels and unlock their rewards.

🎁 Mushu Friendship Rewards

As you progress through Mushu’s friendship levels, you’ll unlock a range of rewards inspired by the world of Mulan. These rewards help expand both your wardrobe and your Valley decorating options, particularly if you’re creating themed areas inspired by the film.

Level 2: Red Dragon Firework (Furniture item)

Level 3: Touch of Magic Material (Customisable)

Level 4: 500 Star Coins

Level 5: Guardian Track Pants (Clothing item)

Level 6: Design Motif (Customisable)

Level 7: 1,000 Star Coins

Level 8: Guardian Incense Burner (Furniture item)

Level 9: Design Motif (Customisable)

Level 10: Guardian Track Jacket (Clothing item; unlocks after completing his level 10 friendship quest)

⭐ Completing Mushu's level 10 friendship quest also unlocks a Design Motif (Customisable), and the Tiny Chair (Furniture item - you'll receive four of these).

✨ Mushu may be one of the smallest villagers in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but he easily stands out thanks to his big personality and constant humour. Whether he’s offering questionable advice or hyping himself up as the Valley’s greatest guardian dragon, he definitely keeps things entertaining.

Seeing Mushu wandering the Valley alongside Mulan is a fun reminder of the story that brought them there, and together they add another unique piece of Disney history to Valley life.

Thanks for reading this Villager Overview! Mushu has now been added to the Villager Overviews hub, with more characters continuing to be added as the collection grows.

✨ How to Unlock Pluto in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Wondering how to unlock Pluto in Disney Dreamlight Valley? This guide walks through every step of the process, including the quests, Mementos, and final requirements needed to bring Mickey’s loyal companion to your Valley.

Pluto has finally arrived in Disney Dreamlight Valley, and bringing Mickey’s loyal companion to the Valley has been one of the most rewarding unlocks in the game. Unlike most villagers, Pluto isn’t unlocked through a single realm quest or friendship storyline. Instead, his arrival is tied to a longer chain of quests, special collectibles called Mementos, and a final magical ritual that brings him home - making the process a little more involved than most character unlocks. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of everything you need to do. 

Collecting All Mementos

One of the most unique parts of unlocking Pluto is collecting various Mementos - special items tied to different characters and storylines throughout the Valley that are required for Pluto's final summoning quest.

Here are the six Mementos you’ll need and how to get them:

(Click on any image to enlarge)

1. The Secret Journal.
This memento is obtained from Jasmine’s Level 10 friendship quest, "Wild, Wild Wishes". Once completed, you'll be given this quest item memento.

2. Kaleidoscope.
This memento is received once you've completed Alice’s Level 10 friendship quest, "A Very Merry Unbirthday".

3. New Comfort Bear.

An item that is unlocked after completing Sadness’ Level 10 friendship quest, "Create a Bear". This is the only memento that won’t appear in your backpack inventory - instead, it can be found in your Furniture menu. 

4. Birthday Party Invitation. 

Earned during the Beauty and the Beast Realm quest "A Guide to Better Castle-Keeping".

5. Nostalgic Instant Photos.

Received once you've completed Cinderella’s Level 7 friendship quest, "A Dream Come True".

6. Pluto’s Collar.

This one involves a few different steps. To start, you'll first need to have the Lady and the Tramp Realm unlocked, and complete the "Meatballs" Realm quest, given by Tramp inside the Lady and the Tramp Realm. Completing this quest rewards you with the Well-Worn Dog Collar.

Next, you'll need to complete all Lady and the Tramp Realm quests and invite Lady and Tramp to live in your Valley. This is an important step because Pluto’s storyline only begins after both characters have officially moved into your village.

Once Lady arrives in the Valley, you’ll receive a letter from Merlin that starts the first of three mysterious, spaghetti-related quests given by Lady:

"The Spaghetti Incident", "Life’s a Meatball", and "A Curious Dish".

These quests revolve around mysterious ingredients appearing throughout the Valley - including rolling spaghetti, magical meatballs, and unusual tomatoes. During these quests, you’ll explore several areas while tracking down strange food items scattered throughout the Valley. Each quest ends with a Memory fragment, slowly revealing Pluto's License

During "A Curious Dish", you'll collect the final of three Memory Orbs, which drops Pluto's License for you to collect. From there, you'll need both the Well-Worn Dog Collar and Pluto's License to craft the final memento: Pluto's Collar. This becomes the sixth and final Memento needed later in the unlock process.


(Above: The Well-Worn Dog Collar, and Pluto's License - combined to make Pluto's Collar). 

Once you complete all these quests and collect all the required Mementos, the image below confirms what quest items you should have in your inventory, excluding the New Comfort Bear, which is found in your Furniture inventory instead.

These items don’t do anything on their own at first, so it’s easy to forget about them - I personally kept all my Memento quest items stored in one of my storage chests for quick and easy access. Once you’ve collected all six Mementos, "The Moose Hunt" quest from Merlin will begin, bringing Pluto's unlocking journey close to its final step.

During this quest, Merlin will give you the Special Plush Bear Sewing Machine, which replaces the New Comfort Bear as the sixth required quest item.

(Above: The New Comfort Bear, replaced by the Special Plush Bear Sewing Machine).


(Above: the final six Mementos).

Merlin will ask you to meet him in the Vitalys Mines - you'll need to ensure you have all six Memento items in your inventory, along with a few extra materials (10 Vitalys Crystals and 15 Stone) that Merlin requires to complete the Memento spell.

Once you have everything ready, you’ll head to the Vitalys Mines in the Sunlit Plateau. Inside the mine, Merlin and Mickey will help open a magical portal connected to Pluto. After following Mickey deeper into the cave, you’ll finally discover Pluto trapped beyond the portal.

Thankfully, freeing him is quick - and once the portal closes, Pluto appears directly in your inventory as a new companion in your Wardrobe menu.

Can Pluto Live in Your Valley?

Unlike most characters in Dreamlight Valley, Pluto doesn’t become a villager with a house or daily dialogue. Instead, he functions as a companion that can follow you around the Valley. You can equip him through the Wardrobe menu by selecting him under Companions, and bring him along while you explore, decorate, or complete quests. Even when not equipped, you'll still see Pluto wandering around nearby as you play - but equipping him ensures he follows you wherever you go.

Is Pluto Worth Unlocking in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

Unlocking Pluto is definitely one of the more complex character unlocks in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but it’s also one of the most rewarding. Between the multi-quest storyline, the Memento collection, and the final portal reveal in the mines, the entire process feels like a celebration of Disney history across multiple worlds.

If you’re still working through the steps, the most important thing is simply to keep progressing through quests and friendships. Once you’ve collected all six Mementos and completed the Lady and the Tramp Realm quests, the final pieces of the puzzle will start to fall into place.

And when Pluto finally joins your valley, it’s hard not to smile watching him run happily alongside Mickey again.

▶️ If you’d prefer to follow along visually, I’ve also put together a full step-by-step video guide showing exactly how to unlock Pluto in Disney Dreamlight Valley - you can watch it here, along with other guides on my YouTube channel. 

Hopefully this guide helps you track down the final Mementos and bring Pluto home to your Valley! I know I was genuinely excited to finally have him running around my Valley.

FAQ: Unlocking Pluto

1. How many Mementos do you need to unlock Pluto?

You need six Mementos to complete the final quest required to unlock Pluto.

2. Does Pluto get his own house?

No, Pluto becomes a companion rather than a villager with a house.

3. What are the main tasks must you complete before unlocking Pluto?
Complete Jasmine’s, Alice’s, and Sadness’s Level 10 friendship quests, complete Cinderella’s Level 7 friendship quest, and finish all Beauty and the Beast and Lady and the Tramp Realm quests. After completing these, "The Spaghetti Incident" - the first of three quests from Lady - will trigger.

4. What is Pluto's unlock quest?

"The Moose Hunt", a story quest given by Merlin.

5. Where do you unlock Pluto?

The final quest takes place in the Vitalys Mines in the Sunlit Plateau.

6. Why can’t I unlock Pluto yet?

Pluto’s questline only begins after several other character quests and Realm storylines are completed. If Merlin hasn’t given you "The Spaghetti Incident" yet, you may still need to progress other friendship or Realm quests first.
