Disney Dreamlight Valleyhas added a plethora of characters since its initial release in 2022. Last December saw the addition of Jack Skellington ofNightmare Before Christmasfame. It seems that this December will see the addition of his beloved Sally toDisney Dreamlight Valleyas well. In fact, Sally’s addition may changeDisney Dreamlight Valleya lot, and for the better.
Jack’s addition toDisney Dreamlight Valleyback in Update 1.8 introduced some new and interesting elements to the game. If Sally’s addition is anything like the Pumpkin King’s,Disney Dreamlight Valleycould see not just some great new content, but some necessary feature changes.
Sally Heads to the Valley
Sally’s introduction toDisney Dreamlight Valleywas first teased in last year’s road map. She is being introduced to the game on December 4 inDisney Dreamlight Valley’s “Sew Delightful” Update (1.14). Like other characters in the game, Sally will likely have a schedule, “Friendship Rewards”, and various quests. No information has been revealed about her story features, such as how to unlock her or the storyline derived from her quests, butDisney Dreamlight Valleyrevealed and confirmed some aspects when announcing her.
Besides friendship rewards for Sally, two of her quests will include a date night and quilting; Jack Skellington will be integral to unlocking Sally in-game. Sally’s announcement also put heavy emphasis on her patchwork aesthetic. This makes sense since items included in friendship rewards tend to be based on the character they are tied to. For example, completing Level 3 ofJack Skellington’s friendship rewardsearns players a design motif of his face, and completing Level 10 unlocks Jack’s Santa Suit. Based on the focus put on Sally’s design in the announcement, the items in her friendship reward track will be inspired by the patchwork elements of her dress and body.
It’s likely that other items outside of Sally’s friendship rewards will also be added toDisney Dreamlight Valley.As seen with Jack’s addition toDreamlight Valley, these items will likely also be inspired byNightmare Before Christmasand Sally’s design. However, Sally herself is not the biggest addition in the Sew Delightful update. Rather, a new feature forDisney Dreamlight Valley’s build mode takes the cake for best addition in Update 1.14.
Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Building Elements Are Changing in a Big Way
Prior to the upcoming Sew Delightful update,Disney Dreamlight Valley’s build modeonly allowed players to rotate items in four different directions. Items would snap and lock automatically rather than free rotation. The Sew Delightful update changes this, giving players sixteen points of rotation in build mode. These rotation points don’t just apply to furniture, but also buildings, landscaping items, resources, and dropped items like prepared dishes. This feature currently doesn’t support fences and paths, but Gameloft confirmed that the feature will be updated in a future update to support these items.
Floating Islands
In addition to the new free rotation feature,Disney Dreamlight Valleyis introducingFloating Islands for players to decorate. Each biome will have a separate Floating Island for players to decorate. Though these islands may have a certain theme or aesthetic, they remain a blank slate for players to allow their creativity to run wild. The Sew Delightful update will only release four Floating Islands, with new islands being introduced in future updates. Considering that the Floating Islands are a build focused feature, it makes sense thatDisney Dreamlight Valley’s new rotation system was introduced alongside them. Players will receive the free Sew Delightful update forDisney Dreamlight Valleyon Jul 23, 2025.
