The Memory Mania event has eight duties for you to complete. All of these tasks only give you their names as a subtle hint for what needs to be done, so navigating through them on your own can be quite tricky. Here are all the event duties and what’s required to finish them.

For the duration of the event, there are four special items that spawn around the valley. Finding and removing these items is essential for tackling all event duties.

  • Birthday Cake spawns in the Moana Realm, Wall-E Realm, and Ratatouille Realm.
  • Hockey Gear spawns in Mickey’s house, Goofy’s house, and Merlin’s house.
  • Hockey Trophy spawns in Scrooge McDuck’s shop and Dream Castle.
  • Riley’s Phone spawns outside near the Chez Remy restaurant.

How to complete Memory Mania event in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the Memory Mania event, you need to tackle all eight duties, finish Joy’s questline, and redeem all nine prizes. Some tasks, including Memorabilia, Spark Joy, and Embrace the Blues, can be finished outside of it, but the rest can only be finished while the event is live, so working through them during the limited timeframe is crucial.

When do Memory Mania event items respawn in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

All items you can find around the valley in the Memory Mania event respawn every hour. Only two of each item can be present at any given time, though, so if you’re not removing them frequently, it might take a bit longer to get more to appear.

How long is the Memory Mania event in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

The 2026 run of the Memory Mania event is live from Sept. 16 to 29, giving you about two weeks to fully work through it. It’s an annual event, though, so if you aren’t able to get it all done within this timeframe, you’ll have another shot at it in 2027. New features are added to expand upon the base event each year, though, so it does get bigger and trickier to tackle each time.
