Right at the very start of a playthrough,Disney Dreamlight Valleyplayers are given their own house. It’s pretty run down, and it’s going to take a while before you have your dream Valley getaway, but hey, it’s home.
The house is originally unlocked during a very early quest given by Merlin called “Welcome to Dreamlight Valley”. During this quest, you’ll need to remove Night Thorns from inside the house, which will reveal your first-ever memory and unlock the house itself.
Once you’ve got the house, you’re free to work towards upgrading it in a number of ways. From adding new floors and rooms, to changing how it looks from the outside, here’s everything you need to know about upgrading your house inDisney Dreamlight Valley.
How to unlock the house in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Before you’re able to add new rooms or change the size of existing rooms, you’ll need to complete one of Scrooge’s friendship quests called “Dreamlight Valley Economy 101” after gaining the Royal Pickaxe. During the quest, you’ll be able to enlarge the size of your main room for free.
After that, you’ll be able to enlarge it twice more, with the second time costing 1,000 Star Coins and the third time costing 2,000 Star Coins. Once upgraded to the maximum size, all additional floors will have a central room that is the same size as the original.
When this quest is complete, Scrooge will install an elevator to the left side of your door, which you can stand on and interact with to alter the inside of your house. However, all expansions from here on out will cost you Star Coins because Scrooge is nothing if he’s not consistent in his need for riches.
