There’s a lot to get done in this quest, and the process for unlocking the Alice in Wonderland Realm is unlike all of the rest. It’s a decently confusing task to navigate, so here’s a complete guide to completing the Wonders of Wonderland quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete Wonders of Wonderland in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the Wonders of Wonderland quest, you need to enter Wonderland, meet Alice and the Cheshire Cat, and escape the mazelike forest. There are a lot of other steps along the way, so here’s a complete quest breakdown to help you through it.

Interact with the Alice in Wonderland Realm Door

To start this quest and initiate the process of unlocking the Alice in Wonderland Realm, head up to the very top floor in the Dream Castle. Interact with the door in the middle and spend 15,000 Dreamlight to open it.

The door to the Alice in Wonderland Realm will then shrink, and a White Rabbit will run out. You can’t head inside since you don’t fit, so exit the Dream Castle to chase down the rabbit instead.

Follow the White Rabbit

Head to the Wishing Well in the Plaza biome to start following the White Rabbit. It leaves behind a red and black trail, so if you’re having trouble finding it, look down and keep an eye out for this special effect.

Follow the White Rabbit through the Plaza biome, around the Peaceful Meadow, and back up to the Plaza biome again. It stops and vanishes right by the ramp leading up to the Forest of Valor.

Pick up the Pocket Watch the White Rabbit left behind

By the ramp that leads from the Plaza to the Forest of Valor, the White Rabbit left a Pocket Watch behind. Interact with it to add this strange object to your inventory. It’s also right in front of a hole the rabbit made.

Once you have the Pocket Watch in your inventory, interact with the rabbit hole that was right behind it to head inside. A short cutscene will play as you’re then transported to Wonderland.

Explore the forest in the Alice in Wonderland Realm

Head straight down the path into Wonderland to start exploring this Realm. Keep going straight until you spot Alice, then stop to chat with her. Follow her into the dark fog once you’re done talking with her.

Once you’re through the smoke, interact with the sparkles on the ground to inspect Alice’s footprints. You lost her in the fog, so you now need some help to find her again.

Examine the strange red tree

Walk around the pond and approach the curious red tree covered in signs. The Cheshire Cat is perched up on it, so interact with him to see if he can help you track down Alice. Always one to enjoy a good riddle, the Cheshire Cat tasks you with tracking down three of his smiles to help find Alice.

Search for the Cheshire Cat’s smile

Your next quest is to find the Cheshire Cat’s smile around the forest. There are three smiles you need to find and interact with around the vast Wonderland forest.

  • The first smile can be found on a bush down the path to the right of the Cheshire Cat’s tree.
  • The second smile is on a tree. From where you found the first one, head straight into the next forest section, then straight through to the section right after. When you reach the sign that says “wrong way,” turn right and proceed down the path. Look towards the trees on the right side to find the smile.
  • The third smile is on a rock. From where you found the last one, head into the next forest section to reach the top right corner of the forest. Turn right to head down the only other path connected to this area and continue going straight until you can’t anymore. Turn around when you reach this corner of the forest to spot the smile.

Once you have all three smiles, head back to the Cheshire Cat’s tree. Interact with his tree to chat with him about your progress. He says you’re out of time, so you need to make More Time to find Alice.

Find ingredients in the Wonderland Realm to make More Time

Your next task is to find seven ingredients to make More Time. These items are all disguised as different objects that what they actually are, so finding them is a pretty tough scavenger hunt.

  • Wonderland Salt is hidden as two purple logs in the northwest corner of the Realm.
  • Wonderland Sugar is a tree stump near the northern edge of the forest.
  • More Wonderland Sugar is disguised as a tree stump near the Wonderland Salt at the northwest end of the Realm.
  • Tea Leaves are a flower bush near some singing flowers in the middle of the forest.
  • Butter is masquerading as a flower bush right by the Cheshire Cat’s tree.
  • Jam is hidden as rocks near the southeast corner of the Realm.
  • Lemon is disguised as a tree stump near the left middle region of the forest.

Once you have all seven ingredients, head back to the Cheshire Cat to let him know. He’ll then tell you that you must cook both A Spicy Moment and a Sweet Moment before you can make More Time. Head back to the Wonderland Realm entrance to find a cooking pot you can use.

Make A Spicy Moment

You can make A Spicy Moment by combining four of the ingredients you found:

  • Wonderland Salt
  • Wonderland Sugar
  • More Wonderland Sugar
  • Timely Tea (Tea Leaves)

Make a Sweet Moment

A Sweet Moment can be cooked using the other three ingredients you have leftover:

  • Butter
  • Lemon
  • Jam

Cook More Time

With both A Spicy Moment and A Sweet Moment made, interact with the cooking station again to start making More Time. You also need to add the Wondrous Pocket Watch you grabbed right before entering the Wonderland Realm. It only needs these three ingredients, so toss them all in to complete the recipe.

Once it’s cooked, open your inventory and consume More Time. Return to the Cheshire Cat’s tree to talk with him about finally finding Alice. He still won’t give you a straight answer and instead instructs you to follow the Mome Raths to find your way out.

Follow the Mome Rath arrows to exit the forest

The Mome Raths are colorful, small, mushroom-shaped creatures with fluffy heads that form arrows as you walk by them. Head north from the Cheshire Cat’s tree and look down to your left to spot some of them.

Continue north and keep following the small groups of Mome Raths. When you get to the northwestern edge of the forest, they’ll start pointing east, so turn that way and keep following them. Keep heading east until the quest is complete. There are a few Mome Raths that will point you the wrong way, so once you’re on the right path, ignore them and focus on heading east to reach the northeastern corner of the forest.

Use the portal in the tree to continue your search for Alice

Once you reach the northeast corner, head down the new path that leads further north. Continue down the path until you reach a mysterious blue portal inside a tree. As soon as you go through the portal, the Wonderland Whimsy quest will be complete.
