In Disney Dreamlight Valley, players can embark on a multitude of quests by building friendships with the residents of the Valley. By offering gifts, sharing meals, and teaming up for village tasks, players can increase their Friendship levels and unlock additional quests. Among the notable characters in Dreamlight Valley are Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf from the beloved movie Frozen. Each of these characters has their own unique quest series that players can assist with.

In Olaf’s Friendship quest line, which starts at Friendship Level 2 with “A Place for Joy,” players learn that he is eager to organize a play for the residents of the valley. After setting up the stage and choosing a suitable heroic tale in the previous quest, "A Story To Tell," it's time to cast the roles for the show. Here's a step-by-step guide on completing the quest, "The Role of a Lifetime," in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

To unlock the "The Role of a Lifetime" quest, players need to reach Friendship Level 7 with Olaf, the fan-favorite little snowman from Disney's Frozen. Additionally, the player must have unlocked both Anna and Buzz Lightyear and welcomed them into the valley. The player must also have completed Olaf's previous Friendship quest, "A Story To Tell," which is unlocked at Friendship Level 4.

  • 1 Purple Ink

After crafting these items, players should find Donald Duck and ask him to transcribe his story. Donald becomes annoyed, unsurprisingly, considering the task of writing the story and starring in the play too burdensome, especially after having already told Olaf his story multiple times.

Next, players must return to Olaf and deliver the unfortunate news: Olaf will have to write down Donald's story by himself and find someone to play the role of Donald Duck in the stage show. Olaf remains positive, as expected, and decides to audition villagers for the role, leading into the next part of the quest.

The player and Olaf decide to audition residents of the village based on the traits they believe capture the spirit of Donald Duck. For th quest, the player needs to locate and speak with the following villagers:

  • Scrooge McDuck
  • Buzz Lightyear
  • Anna

While Buzz and Scrooge decline the opportunity to audition, Anna steps up and agrees to try out for the role of Donald Duck. Players should wait for Anna and Olaf to meet and listen to the audition. The conversation will be triggered only when they are outdoors, so make sure to head outside if necessary and follow Olaf.
