Oh, Bother! Winnie the Pooh is Coming to Disney Dreamlight Valley!

Mark your calendars for July 8! Disney Dreamlight Valley is celebrating 100 years of Winnie the Pooh with an all-new expansion: Honeyglow Woods. Cross through a magical new gateway to explore a stunning storybook biome filled with challenging puzzles, forgotten secrets, and a fair share of honey.

The Honeyglow Woods used to be the perfect spot for doing absolutely nothing… until the massive Everoak Tree at the heart of the forest suddenly locked tight.

To begin this whimsical journey, you must plant a special Tree Sprout and nurture it into a glowing gateway that can be placed anywhere in your Valley, Floating Islands, or Expansion areas—with the freedom to move or remove it whenever you like. Once you step through into the woods, you’ll quickly realize a strange mystery has taken hold… but thankfully, you’ll have plenty of friendly company along the way!

Soon you’ll reunite with Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore to return to the fun, carefree days of childhood!

First, you’ll meet the Pooh Bear himself: Winnie the Pooh! Spend some time playing hide-and-seek and watching the clouds go by, then uncover the magic of honey—magical honey that is! Oh, and well, it looks like Eeyore has lost his tail again. Help this delightfully gloomy donkey find a new tail until you can find the real one. Lastly, help the courageous Piglet face his fears, and reunite the trio!

Before you know it, you’ll be able to invite Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, and Piglet back to your Valley! They’ll of course arrive with their own homes, Friendship Quests and rewards… but first you’ll want to solve the mystery of the Honeyglow Woods.

A New Magical Land, with Magical Honey

This magical place, inspired by the Hundred Acre Wood, was where you would spend splendid lazy summers as a kid. It represents a new space to decorate and make your own with four special new areas to discover and progress through.

First is the Drowsybloom Acre, a sunny meadow perfect for napping and smelling flowers. Then there’s the Gloommeadow, a murky marsh full of ponds, puddles, and rivers. There’s also Braveheart Grove, a dense forested area where you (and Piglet) will face your fears. Finally, there’s the Nectar Apiary, a hidden glen filled with honeycombs where you’ll find the source of the troubles!

To get to the Honeyglow Woods, you’ll use the previously mentioned magical glowing tree. You’ll also have special new portals in the Honeyglow Woods that will take you right to Scrooge McDuck’s Store and Chez Remy’s restaurant.

Speaking of food, in the Honeyglow Woods, you’ll be able to use the honey from the bee boxes to unlock new honey-based recipes and furniture, like Warm Milk & Honey, Honeycrunch Bar, Pooh’s Birthday Cake, Honeypot Lamp, Cozy Honeyleaf Rug, and so much more!

But wait, that’s not the only way you’ll be able to use honey! This Adventure Pack also contains a brand-new gameplay mechanic: beekeeping! By placing flowers around a Busy Bees’ House, they’ll get pollinated, which will generate more honey in the houses. In addition to this, a fully pollinated Busy Bees’ House will double the growth of flowers in the same Biome up to their spawn limit. You’ll also be able to move these Busy Bees’ Houses to any of your other Biomes, including your base game Valley!

And of course, no new lands in Disney Dreamlight Valley would be complete without a new kind of critter… behold the absolutely adorable hedgehogs! These little cuties will come with their own Photo Mode poses and Friendship Levels to unlock!

The Honeyglow Woods Adventure Pack also introduces a new mini-game: Pooh Sticks! By interacting with a Honeyglow bridge in the Gloommeadow, you’ll be able to aim and drop a stick (and other items) to race them down the river. This is a new and unique way to interact and level up your Friendship Level with your Villagers and unlock exclusive rewards!

The Honeyglow Woods is the first ever Disney Dreamlight Valley Adventure Pack—an optional, paid new add-on to be experienced alongside the usual free content updates.
