Disney Dreamlight Valley is rolling out its first update for 2026 on February 11—Puppy Love—which will add Lady and Tramp, alongside an entirely new realm, to the game. Besides the characters and the fact we'll have a new area to explore, we know very little about its content. Even the information about the unlock quests for both characters is pretty scarce, but there are a few things we know which will make preparing for the update that little bit easier.

As is the case with all of Disney Dreamlight Valley's free updates, there's nothing you need to do. Since this is the first time Lady and the Tramp have appeared in the game, there are no existing friendships you need to work on to unlock them. Instead, your focus should be on unlocking an entirely new realm. Here are a few things you can do to prepare if you want to get a head start when it drops.

The Puppy Love update will add an entirely new realm to the Dream Castle for us to unlock, so it's best to start saving up your Dreamlight as soon as you can as these realms are by no means cheap. I'm expecting the realm to cost us about 15,000 Dreamlight, much like the realms we've unlocked in recent updates like the Inside Out realm, but this hasn't been confirmed.
