The addition of Inside Out‘s Emotions to Disney Dreamlight Valley means that there are bound to be some…interesting occurrences. Luckily, you’ve got two of the most resourceful characters to help keep the valley running as smoothly as possible.
Joy and Sadness have noticed that some of the Dreamlight Valley villagers are acting a little different than normal. Help them with their ideas to bring the villagers some cheer.

To get the quest, ‘Mood Swings’ you’ll need to do the following:
- Have Joy and Sadness welcomed to Dreamlight Valley.
- Have access to Glade of Trust.
- Have access to Forest of Valor.
- Have access to the Peaceful Meadow.
- Have Joy at friendship level 4 or higher.

Talk To Joy
To get the ‘Mood Swings’ quest, talk to Joy once you’ve met the prerequisites. It seems that everyone who participated in the Capture The Sun game is acting a bit strange.
Talk to the following villagers to see what’s going on:
- Merlin
- Vanellope
- Donald Duck
- Goofy
After chatting with all the villagers who played Capture The Sun, it’s clear that something fishy is going on in the valley. Talk to Joy to figure out the next steps of your investigation.
You’ll then need to meet Donald in his house. Talk to Donald when you arrive and convince him to try breaking things in his house.
Next, use your Royal Pickaxe to break a couch, table, and bookcase. Equip the pickaxe, then only certain pieces of furniture will highlight when you walk close. You’ll only be able to break the proper pieces.
Talk to Donald when your work is done. Visit the Dreamlight Library (Merlin’s home) next to try cheering up Merlin.
Help clean the library by taking care of the following messes:
- 3 Spiderwebs.
- 4 Potion bottles put back on the shelves.
Talk to Merlin when you’re done cleaning. You’ll then need to find and chat with Vanellope.
She’ll give you a recipe she got from Remy for a “Joyful Meal”. You’ll find the recipe book in your inventory. Use the recipe from your inventory to learn it.
Cook a Joyful Meal for Vanellope. If you learned the recipe it should show up at the top of the recipes with a quest marker on the recipe icon.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 Wheat
- 1 Blueberry
- 1 Raspberry
- 1 Banana
- 1 Coal (for cooking process)
Once you’ve cooked a Joyful Meal, talk to Vanellope to give it to her. You’ll then need to speak with Goofy.
Joy thinks perhaps making Goofy a nice new fishing rod could bring some cheer. You’ll find the recipe for the Shiny New Fishing Rod in the ‘Functional Items‘ tab in the ‘Crafting Recipes’ menu.
You’ll need the following to craft it:
- 10 Softwood
- 2 Iron Ingot
- 4 Fiber
- 1 Tinkering Part
Return to Goofy and talk to him to hand over the new fishing pole. Fish in the large pond in the Peaceful Meadow area with Goofy to catch an interesting fish he noticed earlier.
He’ll automatically follow you, so you don’t need to worry about asking him to ‘hang out’. Fish in orange ripples to try and catch the strange fish. Instead of a fish, however, you’ll end up with Plush Bear Thread.
Talk to Merlin to ask him about the Plush Bear Thread. After chatting with Merlin about the situation, talk to Joy.
This will complete the ‘Mood Swings’ quest, and get you one step closer to some answers about the strange plush bear in Dreamlight Valley.
