Unlocking Donald in Disney Dreamlight Valley will get you access to new quests and rewards; thus, you’ll get to play more of the beautiful game developed by Gameloft.
Donald is a fictional temperamental duck that started in many comedic roles in animated cartoons, and his first theatrical appearance was in The Wise Little Hen in the year 1934.
The bad news is that you can’t get the angry duck to join you in the Village in the early game, as you need to unlock specific Biomes.
So, make sure that you check the following guide if you want to know everything you need to do to bring Donald to Disney Dreamlight Valley as soon as possible.
How To Bring Donald To The Village In Disney Dreamlight Valley
The first thing you need to concern yourself with is to progress in the main story because you’ll get to unlock the temperamental duck in the Lost In The Dark Grove story quest.
To reach the story quest mentioned above, you have to unlock the Dazzle Beach area and complete the previous main quest named With Great Power.
You’ll need 1000 Dreamlight to unlock Dazzle Beach and another 3000 to unlock the Forest of Valor area, where you can start the Lost In The Dark Grove story quest.
Gathering the 4000 Dreamlight shouldn’t take too long; all you need to do is complete the tasks in the Dreamlight tab of your menu.
Upon entering the Forest of Valor for the first time (located east of the Plaza area), you should find Kristoff near a pillar on the southwest side of the Biome.

Just in case you don’t know, Kristoff is a fictional character from Disney’s Frozen (2013) and Frozen 2 (2019).
Talking to Kristoff, you’ll get a clue about Donald’s whereabouts, and to find the angry duck, you’ll have to continue with the Lost In The Dark Grove story quest, covered in our guide here.
Completing the quest will unlock the lost duck and also Kristoff. Two birds with one stone, or one bird and one human.
