Disney Dreamlight ValleyThe long-awaited Puppy Love update was set to bring romance, iconic characters, and adorable, predictable chaos to the Valley. Instead, for many players it offered something much less festive. In other words, it was a ticking clock that taunted players who were stuck behind locked quests and bugs.
Disney Dreamlight Valley's Valentine's Day update should have been a slam dunk, but instead players are heading to social media to voice their concerns about inaccessible content.

What Disney Dreamlight Valley Players Report
it seems DDV Bugs are not isolated progression issues. Many players are reporting that they have unlocked all their characters and leveled them appropriately, but the event is not loading. Additionally, some players are reporting receiving dialogue or prompts indicating that the quest is locked or that they must continue playing to unlock it. On its own, this seems like an annoying flaw. However, in the grand scheme of things, this seriously hinders what players can get out of the event. Here's why:
-
Events are time sensitive.
-
Some quests are daily quests.
-
Rewards are exclusive to this Valentine's themed event.
Some players have reported contacting Gameloft customer service. According to reports, the event will begin after a daily reset following the February 11th update, most likely starting at 5AM local time on February 12th.
This star path is larger than usual and this is putting added pressure on affected Disney Dreamlight Valley players.
A new Star Path has been released with the Puppy Love update. These days Star Path contains about 70 to 90 missions per patch. However, the Paw-fect Star Path reportedly includes 115 missions. to anyone Disney Dreamlight Valley Enthusiasts, this looks like the perfect Star Path. It's a path that gives you too many reasons to log in every day. But for those who can't even access the event, this means severe FOMO at best and frustration at something they have no control over. The calendar is already tight. Broken events become more solid.
For context, the star path is: Disney Dreamlight Valley It's essentially the game's seasonal battle pass. Players earn event currency by completing obligations and unlock themed cosmetics on free and premium tracks.
Puppy Love is a highly anticipated holiday update for Disney Dreamlight Valley players.
This situation plagues both longtime and new players, as Puppy Love is full of truly popular content. Free on February 11th Dreamlight Valley Updates introduce new features Lady and the Tramp Areas where players:
-
Recreate the iconic spaghetti dinner behind Tony's Restaurant
-
Help Lady and Tramp deal with the dogcatcher.
-
Navigate the mysterious spaghetti storm
-
Welcome Lady and the Tramp as new characters to the Valley

The update also includes a new flower puppy companion, new dream styles for Mickey and Minnie, and a rolling Minnie event to keep players busy all through late winter.
This amount of content is why the Valentine's Quest issues feel bigger than minor bugs. This event is the emotional center of the update. Therefore, if the event is not implemented, the entire holiday rhythm in the valley starts in the wrong direction. For now, players are waiting for a fix and hoping that the season of Puppy Love doesn't simply turn into a season of missed rewards.
