Disney Dreamlight Valley’s update 4 is right around the corner and we have new patch notes from the Pride of the Valley update. Finally, the much-awaited Lion King update is here along with plenty of improvements and bug fixes.

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, the previous update brought Mirabel and Olaf to the valley, and fans have been swooning over the new characters. Gameloft has put together another major update, The Pride of the Valley, due on April 5, 2023, which brings Simba and Nala.

A new Lion King realm in the Dream Castle is also being added but that’s not all. With the update, fans would see significant changes in the game starting with the improved well-fed bonus, changes in the photo mode, and gliding around the map.

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, you can cook various items and can gift them to other villagers to increase your friendship levels. You can consume the meals yourself to gain energy. When your energy bar is full, it will glow with a yellow color meaning your character is well-fed.

The Pride of the Valley update 4 will improve your well-fed bonus and that will allow you to move faster around the map. Similarly, when the well-fed bonus is active, your character will get plenty of chances for critical results like fishing, collecting gems and fruits, mining, and so on. Moreover, now you can simply take a break and sit anywhere in the map to replenish your energy.

Here are the full patch notes for Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Pride of the Valley update including the new content and major bug fixes.

Disney Dreamlight Valley April 4 update: New Content and Improvements

  • A new Realm door is open in the Dream Castle: The Lion King Realm! 
  • Welcome Simba and Nala to the Valley as you build your very own version of Pride Rock. 
  • Celebrate Disney Parks with the most ambitious and magical Star Path yet! Place your very own Pixar Pal-A-Round, Dumbo the Flying Elephant or Mad Tea Party rides and transform your Valley into the happiest place on earth! 
  • Scrooge McDuck’s Store has received a new shipment of exciting new items, including some snazzy bathroom equipment, mushroom-inspired sets and more. 
  • New optional items are coming to the Premium Shop for a limited time! Get ready to live your perfect life at sea with Prince Eric’s Boat house Dream Style and meet Dreamlight infused animal companions for the first time. 
  • Enjoy the return of sunny days outside and take part in our Eggstravaganza event from April 8 to 29! 
  • Craft new interactive items for your animal companions to give them more to do around your valley, including little houses, feeders and toys. 
  • A new selfie pose for each of your animal companions is now available in Photo Mode. 
  • Paging Star Command! It seems like there have been a few more alien sightings in the Valley. You should, uh, talk to Buzz… 
  • The well-fed bonus that is earned from eating cooked meals has been beefed up! When well-fed, you now get more chances of Critical Results each time you interact with the world (i.e. picking fruits, fishing fish, mining gems, etc.). But that’s not all… 
  • Get moving with the ability to hover! When the well-fed bonus is active, you can now start channeling your magic to slide around your Valley even faster! 
  • Take a breath. Sitting down on a bench – or any other object, for that matter – anywhere in the Valley, will now replenish your energy very slowly.
