Disney Dreamlight Valley Jungle Getaway update adds Timon and Pumbaa, a new Star Path, and QoL improvements

Another free update for all players is heading to Disney Dreamlight Valley on October 9, and it brings with it not only two new characters but also a whole heap of quality of life updates that players have been asking for for a very long time. 

There isn’t a solid time frame for when the update will drop, either, but if the pattern established by previous updates continues, the Jungle Getaway update could go live at roughly 6 a.m. PST / 9 a.m. EST / 2 p.m. BST. 

The new update, dubbed the Jungle Getaway, will bring Timon and Pumbaa into the fold. They’ll be unlocked by revisiting the Lion King Realm, but that’s all we know about the pair so far. As well as Timon and Pumbaa, players will also get to experience a brand new day and night cycle within the Lion King Realm. 

We’ll also be getting a brand new Star Path, with the title of “The Night Show”, which will bring a selection of brand new, alternative items inspired by Disney villains, princesses, and rock music. Other new items include a collaboration with Loungefly, which will include items available through the Star Path, Premium Shop, and social media events. 

One particularly exciting update for players who have been in the Valley for a while now is the fact that Scrooge’s Store might actually have items in the window again, as furniture pieces have been added to the rotation of items that can appear.
