InDisney Dreamlight Valley, various gameplay aspects are tied to the in-game clock, which is synced with the player’s real-world clock, much like in other life sim games, includingAnimal Crossing. From shop restocks and critter feeding to getting paid currency for free, understanding the specific daily reset times is crucial for players to optimize their progress.
While the player can adjust the time of day via the Graphics settings menu, this does not adjust the in-game time, just the visuals of night or day. Here’s a concise guide detailing the daily reset times for key activities inDisney Dreamlight Valley.
