Are you ready to welcome Disney’s original princess to your valley? Snow White has finally arrived in Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Wishblossom Ranch expansion, and she’s waiting to become your newest villager. But unlocking this beloved character isn’t as simple as just finding her in the valley—you’ll need to complete specific quests, help restore a magical ranch, and even free a famous fairy from captivity.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through every step needed to unlock Snow White in Disney Dreamlight Valley, from purchasing the expansion to completing her final quest. Whether you’re a seasoned Dreamlight Valley player or just starting your journey, this guide will ensure you don’t miss a single detail in bringing Snow White home to your valley.
Getting Started: The Wishblossom Ranch Expansion
Before you can even think about unlocking Snow White, you’ll need access to the Wishblossom Ranch expansion. This major content update introduces horses to the game for the first time, along with three new biomes and several beloved Disney characters.
Purchasing the Expansion
Snow White is exclusive to the Wishblossom Ranch expansion, which is available as a separate purchase for all base game owners. Here are your options:
- Standard Expansion: Purchase the Wishblossom Ranch expansion separately
- Deluxe Edition: Includes bonus Moonstones, unique house skin, horse outfits, and Sven from Frozen as a rideable mount
- Arcade Edition: If you own the Arcade Edition, you’ll receive access to Wishblossom Ranch at no extra cost
- Wishblossom Ranch Edition: For new players, includes the base game plus the expansion
- Ultimate Edition: Includes everything from the base game, Storybook Vale Expansion Pass, and all Deluxe Edition content
Once you’ve acquired the expansion, you’ll receive a letter in your mailbox inviting you to Wishblossom Ranch. This begins your journey to unlock Snow White and restore the magical ranch to its former glory.
First Steps: Completing “A Wishful Invitation”
Your adventure to unlock Snow White begins with the quest “A Wishful Invitation,” which serves as your introduction to the Wishblossom Ranch expansion. This quest is relatively straightforward but essential for progressing further.
Starting the Quest
After reading the invitation letter in your mailbox, head to the Stardust Port via the Dream Castle. There, you’ll find a train that will take you directly to Wishblossom Ranch. Upon arrival, you’ll immediately meet Snow White waiting in the snow—she’s the first character you’ll encounter in this new expansion.
Meeting Snow White and Getting Your First Horse
Snow White will explain that the ranch has fallen into decay and needs your help. During this quest, you’ll:
- Speak to the Fading Wishblossom, who will grant you your first horse
- Uncover clues about what’s happening to the ranch
- Build a stable for your new horse companion
- Learn the basics of horse care and bonding
This quest serves as a tutorial for the new horse mechanics while setting up the story for Snow White’s arrival. Completing “A Wishful Invitation” is necessary before you can begin the quest that actually unlocks Snow White as a villager.
The Main Event: “Tales of a Broken Heart” Quest Walkthrough
Once you’ve completed “A Wishful Invitation,” the “Tales of a Broken Heart” quest will automatically begin. This is the key quest that will ultimately unlock Snow White as a villager in your valley. Let’s break down each step in detail.
Finding the Wishblossom Heart
After speaking with Snow White, she’ll ask you to follow her to the Wishblossom Heart. You can find this location on your map—it’s marked with Snow White’s icon for easy navigation. The entrance to the Wishblossom Heart is blocked by strange red crystals that react to your horse’s presence.
Pro Tip: Make sure your horse is nearby before approaching the entrance. You’ll need to mount your horse to destroy these crystals, so having it ready will save you time.
Clearing the Entrance Crystals
To destroy the red crystals blocking the entrance:
- Mount your horse by approaching it and pressing the interact button
- While mounted, approach the red crystals
- Press the indicated button (“A” on controller, “E” on keyboard) to destroy them
- Enter the Wishblossom Heart once the path is clear
This mechanic is new to the Wishblossom Ranch expansion and will be used throughout your adventures in this area. Your horse is essential for clearing these magical crystals, so bonding with it is crucial.
Helping the Giant Wishblossom
Inside the Wishblossom Heart, you’ll find yourself in a large chamber with an enormous Wishblossom flower and more red crystals. Speak to the Giant Wishblossom, who will explain that these crystals are attacking its roots and draining its power. You’ll need to destroy three specific crystals to help restore the Wishblossom’s health.
Locating the Three Root Crystals
The three crystals are located in different parts of the chamber. Here’s exactly where to find each one:
- Left Root Crystal: From where Snow White is standing, head left and then left again. Follow the small white path on the ground and go up the stone stairs to the top of a rock spire. The crystal is waiting at the top.
- Right Root Crystal: From Snow White’s position, head right and then turn right again when you reach a bridge over a small river. Cross the bridge and enter a small cave covered with glowing Wishblossom roots. The crystal is inside this cave.
- Rear Root Crystal: Cross back over the bridge and continue along the path until you’re behind the Giant Wishblossom. Turn right to find a pathway heading deeper into the cave. You’ll need to jump over a root (your horse will jump automatically if you gallop toward it). At the end of this path, on a small ledge, you’ll find the final crystal.
Remember to stay mounted on your horse while destroying these crystals—your horse is the key to clearing them away.
Freeing Tinker Bell and Gathering Pixie Dust
After destroying all three crystals, return to the Giant Wishblossom. A cutscene will play where the flower blooms and releases Tinker Bell! The famous fairy from Peter Pan explains that her Pixie Dust magic has dried up due to Cruella’s selfishness, but you can help restore it.
Tinker Bell will ask you to harvest 10 Dead Wishblossoms. These look like dead bushes with a slight golden glow and can be found throughout the Heart cavern. To harvest them:
- Stay mounted on your horse
- Gallop through the Dead Wishblossoms to collect them
- You’ll need to collect 10 in total
Expert Tip: There are plenty of Dead Wishblossoms in the immediate area, so you don’t need to leave the cavern to find them. Just ride around the chamber until you’ve collected all 10.
Once you’ve gathered the Pixie Dust, return to Tinker Bell. She’ll explain that while it’s not enough to completely stop the Wishblossom Mountains from crumbling, it’s a start in the right direction.
The Crystal Key and Next Steps
Tinker Bell will then mention that three horses are trapped somewhere in the mountains and suggests they might be in the Crystal Cavern. However, the entrance to this cavern is locked and requires a special Crystal Key to open. She hints that this key can be found in the Wishing Alps, setting up future quests in the expansion.
For now, though, your focus is on unlocking Snow White. Follow Tinker Bell until she stops at the edge of a river, where she’ll show you the entrance to the Crystal Cavern. This is just a preview for now—you’ll return here in future quests.
Returning to Wishblossom Ranch: The Final Steps
With the immediate crisis in the Wishblossom Heart resolved, it’s time to return to Wishblossom Ranch and complete the process of unlocking Snow White as a villager.
Brushing Your Horse and Restoring the Ranch
Once you and Snow White have returned to the ranch, she’ll thank you for your help and give you a Horse Brush. This item is crucial for bonding with your horse and unlocking Snow White. Here’s what to do:
- Dismount your horse (you cannot brush it while mounted)
- Approach your horse and press the indicated button (“B” on controller, “Q” on keyboard) to brush it
- A cutscene will play showing Wishblossom Magic clearing away the snowstorm that was affecting the ranch
Pro Tip: You can brush your horse once per day for a significant Friendship boost! Make this part of your daily routine to strengthen your bond with your horse companion.
Building Snow White’s Cottage
With the weather cleared and the ranch beginning to heal, Snow White will mention that her cottage was destroyed and she has nowhere to stay. This is where Scrooge McDuck conveniently appears (as he often does when construction is needed).
To build Snow White’s cottage:
- Speak to Scrooge McDuck, who has just arrived in the ranch
- He’ll give you the plans for Snow White’s Cottage
- Enter Furniture Mode (you cannot do this while mounted on your horse)
- Place Snow White’s Cottage anywhere in the Wishblossom Ranch area
- Interact with the Scrooge McDuck Sign next to the cottage placement
- Pay 2,500 Star Coins to restore the cottage
Important Note: The 2,500 Star Coin cost is standard for unlocking new villagers in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Make sure you have enough saved up before starting this quest to avoid delays.
Welcoming Snow White to the Valley
After placing and paying for Snow White’s cottage, a “welcome Snow White” cutscene will play. However, you’re not quite done yet! To fully complete the quest and unlock Snow White as a villager:
- Take a picture with Snow White to welcome her (this is required for the quest)
- Speak to Snow White one final time to conclude the “Tales of a Broken Heart” quest
Congratulations! Snow White is now a fully unlocked Villager in Disney Dreamlight Valley. You can befriend her, give her gifts, hang out with her, and increase her Friendship Level to earn various rewards.
Beyond Unlocking: Building Friendship with Snow White
Now that you’ve successfully unlocked Snow White in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you might be wondering what comes next. Like all villagers in the game, Snow White has her own friendship progression system with unique quests and rewards.
Friendship Level Rewards
As you increase your Friendship Level with Snow White, you’ll unlock various rewards including:
- Unique clothing items inspired by Snow White’s iconic dress
- Special furniture pieces for decorating your valley
- Motif rewards for crafting and customization
- Exclusive friendship quests that reveal more about Snow White’s story
Level 2 Friendship Quest: “Handle With Care”
Once you reach Friendship Level 2 with Snow White, she’ll offer her first friendship quest: “Handle With Care.” This quest involves repairing the Careblossom Topiary and requires gathering specific materials:
Repairing the Careblossom Topiary
- 12 Dry Wood (found near trees in Wishing Alps, most common in the far left of Wishblossom Ranch)
- 8 Rusty Hinge (dig up in Wishing Alps)
- 10 Pebbles (dig in Wishing Alps)
- 2 Pyrite (mining nodes in Wishing Alps)
After collecting these materials, interact with the Careblossom Topiary to repair it. However, this isn’t the end of the quest!
Creating Blooming Rock Gardens Snow White will explain that the topiary still needs help, and you’ll need to craft four Blooming Rock Gardens using:
- 5 Pink Crocus (found in the Wishing Alps)
- 4 Purple Crocus (found in the Wishing Alps)
- 2 Yellow Crocus (found in the Wishing Alps)
- 15 Reclaimed Barn Wood (found on the ground in the Wishing Alps)
Craft these at any crafting station (there’s one by your house), then place the gardens near the Careblossom Topiary. Finally, you’ll need to:
- Speak to Snow White
- Dress your horse in a new saddle
- Feed your horse three meals
- Brush and pet your horse to summon sparks and complete the quest
This quest demonstrates the deep integration between Snow White and the new horse mechanics in the Wishblossom Ranch expansion.
