Disney-themed life simulator Disney Dreamlight Valley recently announced the upcoming "A Rift in Time" Expansion Pass, which will launch on December 5th. Both the pass and the new "Gold" and "Cozy" editions will add new adorable animal companions for players to befriend. While Disney Dreamlight Valley currently offers dozens of pets for players to interact with, "A Rift in Time" and future passes will hopefully expand that number significantly.

Currently, players can adopt a number of animal companions found in the Valley's various biomes by feeding them their favorite foods over the course of several days. In addition, each timed Star Path features at least one new animal companion, while others can be purchased via the Premium Store using Moonstone currency. There are also bonus pets unlocked when purchasing certain special editions of Disney Dreamlight Valley, such as the Founder's Pack.
Monkeys Like Abu
A Rift in Time will introduce characters from the film Aladdin to Disney Dreamlight Valley, specifically the villainous vizier Jafar. With the game taking players to desert and jungle settings, it is the perfect opportunity for monkey pets to be added. The pass' trailer showed black, white, and gray monkeys who could potentially become companions. Aladdin's best friend, Abu, could also debut as a special monkey pet, perhaps even able to help players collect items.
Parrots Like Iago
A recent Star Path allowed Dreamlight Valley players to unlock a pirate-themed parrot companion. Upcoming Expansion Passes could add more parrot colors, especially as the game is currently short on winged companions with only Dreamlight Valley's Ravens and Sunbirds to choose from. Jafar's parrot companion Iago could perhaps be tempted away from the dark side and encouraged to join the player instead as a new pet. While current animal companions are generally silent, the talkative Iago could make a unique addition to the roster.
Frogs
A sneak peek at upcoming Dreamlight Valley content for 2024 revealed that Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog will be moving to the Valley. Her arrival could be the perfect opportunity to add frog companions. Possibly, Tiana and Prince Naveen's frog forms could even appear as companions, similar to how Ariel and Ursula are able to switch between their land-walking and sea-dwelling appearances in the game. A wizard as powerful as Merlin could likely whip up a more temporary transformation spell than the one from the film.
The Nightmare Before Christmas' Zero
Another character coming to Disney Dreamlight Valley in the near future is the long-awaited Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King himself from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Hopefully, the Pumpkin King will bring his beloved ghost dog, Zero, with him. There's currently a Zero-inspired "Ghostly Fox" companion who can be purchased in the Premium Shop using Moonstones, but that does not mean there is no room for the original Zero to make himself at home in the Valley. He would fit in perfectly with the large amount of Halloween-themed clothing and decor added during Dreamlight Valley's recent Enchanted Adventure update.
Monster Pets
Monsters, Inc. will join Toy Story, Ratatouille, and other Pixar films represented in the game when Mike Wazowski moves to Dreamlight Valley in a planned 2024 update. Hopefully, the cheerful one-eyed monster will bring with him some more monstrous pets for players to adopt. Currently, the game is fairly limited to real-life creatures with some fantastical color variants. Monstrous pets could change this, allowing creatures with multiple eyes or legs, spines, wings, and more. Perhaps players could even design their own custom mix-and-match monster animal companions in the future.
