Disney Dreamlight Valley is rolling out its Emotional Rescue update on Wednesday, August 20, bringing two new characters to the valley for us to invite. But you can't just enjoy all the new toys right away; there will be a number of challenges to work on and hoops to jump through to get Joy and Sadness to our valley, alongside a new realm to unlock, which means a lot of work to someone who's not quite ready to jump straight in.
It's hard to know exactly what to prepare since we don't know the content of the quests we'll be expected to work through. With that in mind, this guide won't tell you exactly what recipes you need to perfect or items you need to craft; it's a more general guide to the things you should do to make getting into the update more streamlined.
