How does The Winter Floating Festival event work in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
The Winter Floating Festival event takes place on a magical, floating island you can access through a portal in the Plaza during the event’s duration. On this island, you’ll find a winter wonderland packed with five unique puzzles you can complete to earn five exclusive event rewards.
This is only the second floating island event, so it’s a newer concept for DDV. If you previously participated in The Haunted Floating Festival event, you already have a solid understanding of how this one works, as it’s basically the same idea, just on a new island with new puzzles and prizes.
How to complete The Winter Floating Festival event in Disney Dreamlight Valley
You can complete the entire The Winter Floating Festival event by finishing all five puzzles around the holiday island. While other events like Gift of Giving and Trick-or-Treat come with loads of tasks to tackle, items to craft, and more to do, The Winter Floating Festival is a more focused event that homes in on five main missions. These quests do have smaller tasks within them, but overall, you have five key goals to complete.
