What’s new in the Disney Dreamlight Valley Friendship Festival update?
Here’s everything that’s been confirmed so far.
New characters
- Mirabell (Encanto)
- Olaf (Frozen)
It’s not yet clear how the two will be unlocked, although we do know that Mirabelle’s quest will require finding a doorknob for Casita. It is not known whether this opens a new Realm or just somewhere in an already existing city.
Here is a quick overview of Olaf:
New buildings
We know the Casita is a big part of this update and that’s where Mirabelle will live. Some fans are even starting to speculate that Bruno is in there somewhere too… but we don’t talk about it!
If Olaf gets his own house, then it will most likely have something to do with the new content in Frosted Heights… or while he just lives with Elsa.

“Discover the secrets of the Frost Heights Biome”
As announced in the roadmap, the Frost Heights biome will be the next biome to undergo changes once the Scar Kingdom update allows us to bring the Sunshine Plateau to life.
Looking at the update’s key image, it looks like we’ll be fixing the Pillar in Frost Heights and possibly gaining access to some kind of secret area blocked off by giant stone doors. And these are footprints?

New Star Trek for Disney’s 100th Anniversary
We already knew Star Trek for February would be Disney’s 100th anniversary, but we’ll have a full Star Trek breakdown soon! Until then, here’s what we know will be included:
- 100th Anniversary Companion Rabbit
- Mickey’s 100th birthday outfit
- Minnie’s 100th birthday outfit
We can also assume that those black and white ears that the character is wearing in the key illustration are part of Star Trek since they are not yet in the game.
