These codes enable [[Multiplayer|visiting other player's Valleys]], as well as allowing up to three other players to visit yours. When other players join a Valley, they will appear at the [[Valley Visit Station]] by default, unless the Host Player is in a Location (e.g. [[Scrooge's Store]]). In that case, the visiting Player will also appear inside the same Location. A confirmation prompt displays for the Host to confirm they wish to bring visiting players whenever they enter a Location.<!--e.g. enter/exit Player House, enter/exit Scrooge's Store-->{{cleanup|Unsure if this confirmation is only one time per visit per building?}}


If the host game is closed the connection will be closed, and other players disconnected. A new visit code will need to be generated to rejoin.
===Hosting===
Once the [[Valley Visit Station]] is placed in the world, the Player can interact with the station by selecting '''Use''' to open a connection for Valley Visits and generate a Visit code. Revisiting the station while the connection is open will display the code and allow you to disconnect as well as allowing you to directly invite friends via external platform friend lists.

To join another player's Valley, enter their Visit code in the Multiplayer section of the game's Title Screen. <!--Players can only visit the Dreamlight Valley Village, not the Eternity Isle Village.-->Visiting allows shopping at [[Scrooge's Store]], dropping resources to trade, and collecting a special resource - [[Pixel Shard]]s. Players can drop and pick up items from the core game of [[Disney Dreamlight Valley]] regardless of the Host or visiting Player's platform. However, items that require the expansion [[Version_History/Expansion_1|A Rift In Time]] require both players to be using the same platform<!--(e.g. Xbox, Nintendo Switch, etc.)-->.<!--The game does not make this obvious to the end user.-->

Multiplayer visits (either visiting or hosting) is the only way to obtain [[Pixel Shard]]s. These items spawn every few minutes{{cleanup|maximums and spawn rate, any other requirements}} when a connection is open and at least 2 Players are in the Valley. They are specific to each player - there is no concern about accidentally "taking" someone else's [[Pixel Shard]], as each Player will see different ones appear. The [[Pixel Shard]]s will remain in a Valley while a connection is open after a visitor leaves, but if they have not been picked up from the ground, they will disappear when the connection is closed.{{cleanup|Needs secondary verification}}
