The Pumpkin and the Princess quest walkthrough in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The valley is finally safe enough for Cinderella to return in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but you’ll have to put in a bit of work to get her there. The unlocking process begins with The Pumpkin and the Princess quest.

Like all quests, this one has some fairly tricky elements, so you may need some help working through it so you can unlock Cinderella as a valley villager. Here’s a complete walkthrough for The Pumpkin and the Princess quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete The Pumpkin and the Princess in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete The Pumpkin and the Princess quest, you need to grow the Spell Pumpkin, build Cinderella’s house, break the enchantment, and invite Cinderella back to the valley. There are quite a lot of steps to get done along the way, so here’s a full breakdown of everything you need to do.

Bring the lost shoe to Fairy Godmother

Now that you’ve found Cinderella’s lost shoe, head into the Fairy Godmother’s pumpkin house to chat about what to do next. Don’t worry if she’s wandering around outside, as she’ll automatically meet you inside once you visit her home.

Gather the ingredients to craft the Wish Enchantment

Your next task is to make a special Wish Enchantment that will help open the pumpkin so you can bring Cinderella back to the valley. Before you can craft it, though, you first need to gather the required resources, including:

• Five Ginger – Can be found growing in the wild all around the Forgotten Lands biome.
• Five Gooseberries – Can be harvested from Gooseberry bushes. Initially, there are two in the Frosted Heights biome and four in the Forgotten Lands region. They can be freely moved around, though, so there’s a good chance you placed them elsewhere.
• One Orange Nasturtium – Can be found growing in the wild all around the Forgotten Lands biome.
• One Diamond – Can be mined from rock spots throughout the Forgotten Lands biome.

Craft the Wish Enchantment

Once you have all of the required items, head to any crafting station to get started making the Wish Enchantment. Switch over to the Potion & Enchantment tab to locate and craft the required recipe.

Use the Wish Enchantment with your Watering Can

Open your inventory, select the Wish Enchantment, and choose the Use option to apply this magical potion to your Watering Can as a permanent upgrade. Then, head back inside Fairy Godmother’s house to chat about what to do next.

Plant the Small Spell Pumpkin anywhere in the valley

Now that you’ve got the magic you need, your next goal is to plant the Small Spell Pumpkin. Head outside, use your Royal Shovel to dig a hole anywhere you like, and plant the pumpkin. Switch over to your Royal Watering Can to water it, then wait 15 minutes for the growth process to complete. Once you see vines spout out around it, interact with the pumpkin to harvest it.

Talk to Fairy Godmother

The Spell Pumpkin went missing in the growing process, so meet up with Fairy Godmother to discuss what comes next. She thinks someone might have taken it, and specifically that a notable chef in the valley may have mistaken it as a cooking ingredient.

Go to the restaurant to see if Remy has the Spell Pumpkin

Head over to Remy’s restaurant, which is Chez Remy, to check in with him about the situation. Turns out, he did actually take it, so retrieve the Spell Pumpkin from him, then meet back up with Fairy Godmother to discuss what needs to be done next.

Place Cinderella’s house in Dreamlight Valley

Now that you’ve got the Spell Pumpkin back, it’s time to place Cinderella’s house so you can officially invite her back to the valley. Open your inventory, switch over to the furniture tab, select the Fairy Godmother quest icon, and place Cinderella’s house wherever you like.

Her home is quite large, so you may need to clear some room to place it if most of your valley is full. Once the outline is down, approach and interact with the Scrooge McDuck sign in front of it to spend 15,000 Star Coins to build it.

Place the Spell Pumpkin close to the Plaza’s wishing well along with the appropriate furniture

With her house now ready to go, it’s time to free Cinderella from the Spell Pumpkin. Place the Spell Pumpkin somewhere close to the wishing well in the center of the Plaza, then decorate close to it using eight elegant, yellow, and blue furniture items.

The items and the Spell Pumpkin need to be placed very close to the Plaza, so if you have this area quite decorated, you may need to temporarily move some things around. Once you’ve decorated, interact with the Spell Pumpkin to officially free Cinderella. Chat with Fairy Godmother one last time to officially finish this quest and unlock Cinderella.

There’s plenty more to get done around the valley now that you have Cinderella at your side. Next, you might work on tackling Winter Warmth Star Path duties, like harvesting some red bush berries or digging for special crystals underground, and unlocking the Sakura Blossom Dragon Community Companion.
