Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Wonderland Whimsy Update invites players to dive headfirst into the marvellous madness of Wonderland.
Available from April 23rd, 2025, this free update delivers new realms, new Villagers, expanded events, and quality-of-life improvements that players have eagerly awaited. The Dream Castle unveils the Wonderland Realm, a delightfully chaotic new location based on Disney’s Alice in Wonderland.
Here, players meet Alice, who enlists your help with freeing the Queen’s captive animals, and the Cheshire Cat, whose mischievous behaviour reshapes the way you navigate quests.
Once you’ve completed the Realm’s story, Alice immediately becomes a new Villager.
However, unlocking the Cheshire Cat requires more time, as he continues to cause playful disruptions across the Valley before officially settling down.
Meet Your New Residents
| Villager | Unlock Method | Special Features |
|---|---|---|
| Alice | Complete Wonderland Realm quests | New Friendship Quests and themed furniture rewards |
| Cheshire Cat | Unlock through special events | Access to the Uncrafting Station after Friendship Quests |
Players should also keep an eye out for mischievous mannequins after completing Wonderland Realm quests, a teaser of the chaos to come during the Cheshire Cat Chaos event.
