Wonderland Whimsy (Update 16) was a major Disney Dreamlight Valley update which added Alice, Cheshire Cat, the Alice in Wonderland Realm, new events, quests, and items.

It released on PC, Consoles, and Apple Arcade on April 23, 2025.

Wonderland Whimsy Update[1]

Curious, and curiouser adventures await you in Disney Dreamlight Valley’s latest free update – Wonderland Whimsy – now available on all platforms.

Take a tumble down a rabbit hole and uncover a new Realm, 2 new Villagers, and MORE!

A new Realm door opens...

…in an unexpected way! Head to the Dream Castle to kickstart your journey into the Alice in Wonderland Realm – where you’ll meet two familiar faces from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland.

Inside, not-so-impossible tasks with Alice – who needs your help freeing animals from the Queen’s garden. Sure to earn a grin from ear-to-ear, your quest will also have you interacting with Cheshire Cat – though, his help… er, hijinks, might slow down your pace in navigating all of the Realm’s peculiar places.

Once you’re sure no one will lose their head once you leave, return to your Valley and welcome Alice as a Villager right away – although, it seems that Cheshire Cat has just a few some tricks up his figurative sleeves, requiring a little more time and finesse to fully integrate him in your Valleys. For more details on how and when to unlock him, see below – light spoilers ahead!

After finishing up the Alice in Wonderland Realm quests, keep an eye out for mischievous-looking mannequins. Check in with Scrooge McDuck to learn more!

  • Starting on April 30th, expect Cheshire Cat to cook up some more trouble.
  • Starting on May 7th, Cheshire Cat will be up to something fishy.
  • After May 7th, all players will be able to complete Cheshire Cat’s welcoming quests right away.
* Please note: Disney Dreamlight Valley Arcade Edition does not include seasonal Star Paths or the Premium Shop.

Cheshire Cat couldn’t arrive in the Valley without bringing along his own curious brand of chaos! Expect a new in-game event in May where you’ll need to keep an eye out for ‘Cheshire-fied’ items.
