The magical world of Disney Dreamlight Valley is full of iconic Disney characters you can befriend and recruit, but many of these characters are locked behind otherworldly Realms.

To unlock every character the Disney game has to offer, you will need to learn how Realms work and which ones are available to explore.

What are Realms in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

Realms are unlockable areas you can use to visit iconic areas from various Disney films. Each one requires a varying amount of Dreamlight to unlock and is home to one or two characters within.

Considering how many characters exist within each Disney film, it is possible these Realms will be home to more than two characters in the future. Every Realm released so far only has one or two characters within it but some Realms, like the Toy Story one, may feature more in the future.

Every Realm has a unique symbol on its door telling you which Realm and characters you will find inside. The snowflake symbol on one door indicates a Frozen Realm lies within, while the leafy plant symbol is representative of Wall-E, and this system prevails across all active Realm doors.

Each Realm will differ drastically from the rest depending on what film the Realm represents. For example, the Ratatouille Realm transports you to a kitchen where you must cook alongside Remy while the Frozen Realm sends you to Anna and Elsa, deep in the heart of a forest churning in chaos due to an imbalance between the four elements.

While you can find some characters around the village immediately, like Merlin and Mickey Mouse, most of them are instead locked away in these Realms. You will have to unlock them to bring the characters back to Dreamlight Valley and stop the Forgetting from consuming everything.

Where to find Realms in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To visit a Realm for the first time, you must first unlock the Dream Castle and then unlock the specific Realm. Unlocking the Dream Castle costs 2,000 Dreamlight and each Realm within costs an additional varying amount of Dreamlight.

Based on my experience with the game so far, it seems like each new Realm increases in cost, and this will be the pattern moving forward.

Current Realms in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Seven different Realms are currently available for players to unlock and explore in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Upcoming Realms in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The Realms below will be added in the future, as the characters within them have been announced by Gameloft, showcased in promotional material for Disney Dreamlight Valley, or teased through the official game roadmap. Some characters, like Mother Gothel and the entire Mickey Mouse cast, do not have a Realm, so it is possible more characters could also join the world of Dreamlight Valley without a corresponding Realm.

• A Monsters, Inc. Realm is arriving in late winter 2024 with both Mike and Sulley. We don’t know what this Realm will look like yet, but we can expect it to either be based on the actual workplace of Monsters Inc. or the Monsters University the duo attended in the prequel film.
• A Mulan Realm seems to be arriving in late Spring 2024 based on the official roadmap. Mulan will certainly be included, but beyond this, it’s unknown who else could arrive with her. Characters like Mushu and Li Shang are the most likely contenders.

Leaked Realms in Disney Dreamlight Valley

While these Realms aren’t certain, Gameloft’s promise to expand upon the world of Dreamlight Valley means these leaked characters found in a datamine and their accompanying Realms are quite likely to appear in the future of Disney Dreamlight Valley.

• An Encanto Realm seems like a highly probable addition since Mirabel joined the valley In Feb. 2023. An Encanto Realm didn’t release with her, but considering how popular the film is and how large the Madrigal family is, it is quite likely more of the family will be released in the future, and that an Encanto Realm could arrive with them.
• A Lilo & Stitch Realm is a likely addition. The titular character Stitch from Lilo & Stitch joined the valley in December 2022. He did not come with a Realm, which likely means one will be released in the future with other characters from this film like Lilo, Pleakley, and Jumba Jookiba.
• A Wreck-It Ralph Realm should eventually arrive due to Ralph himself appearing in various Disney Dreamlight Valley trailers and many of the other characters appearing on the leaked list. Vanellope von Schweetz made her way into the valley in early summer 2023, but a Realm didn’t arrive with her which means it may be added in the future.
• A The Incredibles Realm based on the films may come sometime in the future due to Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible, and Syndrome appearing on the leaked roster of characters. The first ever Star Path, which was Pixar-themed, also featured quite a few items from these films, which makes this Realm even more probable.
• A Hercules Realm with almost the full cast, including Hercules himself, Hades, Megara, and Phil (Philoctetes), seems highly likely due to leaks.
• A Cinderella Realm for the princess is likely due to her appearance in a few trailers. Other Cinderella characters are also on the leaked list and may appear in the Cinderella Realm. Fairy Godmother arrived in the fifth update, but she is the only character from it for now.
• Ariel, Eric, and Ursula may get The Little Mermaid Realm after all, as King Triton, Sebastian, and Flounder are among the leaked characters. The former trio is currently available in Disney Dreamlight Valley with no Realm to accompany them.
• Among the datamined characters are a few from Raya and the Last Dragon, so it is likely a Raya and the Last Dragon Realm and these characters will be added.
• A Tangled Realm may arrive for Mother Gothel, since more Tangled characters, including Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, were leaked. Rapunzel will be part of the A Rift in Time expansion pass, but it’s still possible a Realm for the film could be released in the future with Flynn Rider.
• An Alice in Wonderland Realm is likely coming due to Alice, Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, and Mad Hatter appearing in the datamine. Alice in Wonderland assets are also already present in Disney Dreamlight Valley, like the Cheshire Cat motif.
• A Snow White Realm is probable, but interestingly, the only character who has been leaked from this film so far is Prince Charming. Regardless, players can probably expect to see more characters including Snow White herself and the Evil Queen also make their way to Dreamlight Valley in the future. The Evil Queen’s signature mirror on the wall appeared as an obtainable asset on the Villain Star Path.
• Three characters from Aladdin are on the leaked list and will likely be found within an Agrabah-themed Aladdin Realm. These characters are Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie. Jafar is the overarching villain with the A Rift in Time expansion pass and will almost certainly become recruitable through it.
• A Nightmare Before Christmas Realm seems likely based on how much of the Haunted Holiday Star Path was based on this film. Jack Skellington is arriving in the Dec. 5, 2023 update, but other characters like Sally and Oogie Boogie could potentially be included in a Realm in the future.

Speculative Realms in Disney Dreamlight Valley

These Realms are ideas founded simply on the fact they are Disney and would fit into the world of Disney Dreamlight Valley quite well. Some of these speculations also have solid foundations due to assets from these films already appearing in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

• A Coco Realm seems extremely likely due to the number of Coco-themed items already present in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
• Just like Coco, Up also has a lot of assets already present which means a future Realm with Carl, Russell, Dug, and more Up characters in a dedicated Up Realm seems very possible.
• It is likely Disney Dreamlight Valley will eventually include Realms for all Disney princesses since they are staples within the world of Disney. Ariel, Moana, and Belle are already in the game, Rapunzel, Mulan, and Tiana are on their way, Jasmine is on the list of leaked characters, and Snow White’s love interest is on the leaked list which means she is likely in the works too, which just leaves a Brave Realm, a Pocahontas Realm, and a Sleeping Beauty Realm to add the rest of the princesses to the valley.
• Disney Dreamlight Valley’s fifth update had Disney 100 and Pixar-based Star Path. It featured motifs from Turning Red and Inside Out, so both a Turning Red Realm and an Inside Out Realm could arrive as Realms in the future.
• Cars has a lot of assets featured on the Pixar Star path. Perhaps the residents of Radiator Springs will race their way into Dreamlight Valley in a Cars Realm. It would certainly be interesting to see cars alongside humans, animals, and all other types of unique Disney characters in the village.
• The Sword in the Stone Realm is a possibility since Merlin is in Disney Dreamlight Valley and a substantial number of items from this film can be found or purchased. Merlin is a special character as he acts as the player’s mentor and guide, however, so The Sword in the Stone Realm doesn’t seem as likely as some other possible Realms.
• Depending on how Disney Dreamlight Valley handles spinoffs, a Lightyear Realm is possible due to the plethora of assets from the film featured on the Pixar Star path. Buzz Lightyear is already arriving in the Toy Story Realm, so if this Realm were to also happen, it would be interesting to see how the two coexist.
• Although Gameloft has not shared any hints or plans for adding Marvel and Star Wars content to Disney Dreamlight Valley, both are massive parts of Disney so they could be added as possible Realms in the future.
• Depending on how Gameloft decides to handle new movie releases, players could possibly see characters from upcoming Disney films appear in the valley around the same time the films launch. This could include characters from newer films like Haunted Mansion, Wish, and Elemental.

Gameloft has previously said even after the game is fully polished and released, they still plan to continuously update the world of Dreamlight Valley with new content. Because of this, you can expect to see many new Realms and characters in the future, and may even see Disney adding new characters and Realms as it releases more films.
