Return to The Lion King Realm in the Light of Day!
First revealed in our Valley Vignette blog from earlier this year, two new Villagers arrive in this update—Timon and Pumbaa from The Lion King!
As you return to their Realm, it seems like the stress of saving the Valley time and time again has taken its toll—with Timon declaring that you must learn the ways of hakuna matata! Of course, learning the art of relaxation isn't a one-step process, and you'll need to experience a few days and nights in the Realm. (Don't worry; time passes differently within!)
After you're sufficiently relaxed and have given your easygoing pals a hand with a sticky situation, they'll arrive in your Valley—bringing with them unique Quests, Friendship rewards, and aromas…? Continue the fun by helping them feel at home—which involves sorting out a "stinky" situation with Pumbaa and aiding Timon in cataloging the Valley's critters.
Get Ready to ROCK with a New Star Path!
Neon lights and pyrotechnic delights await you in this season's Star Path—The Night Show!
We're challenging you to build the stage of your dreams with furniture items featuring unique special effects such as neon, changing lights, fire, and more! Then, amp up your Avatar with rebellious clothing inspired by Disney Villains, Disney Princess characters, and of course, rock music.
This Star Path features a shorter run time and reduced number of rewards (reflected in a discounted Premium-tier cost and number of duties) as we build up to more content releases later this year—but don't let that fool you! It's full of rock-star-realness and high-quality collectibles! Make sure to complete it before it ends on November 13.
A Surprise Collaboration and More!
Loungefly backpacks are available now in the Valley! We're thrilled to share that we've collaborated with Loungefly, bringing multiple recreations of their statement-making backpacks to the Valley.

Community-Driven Features
We want to extend a huge thanks to everyone who continues to participate in sharing their feedback on each and every update. Here are just a few of the highlights arriving in Jungle Getaway, inspired by players like you!
Customize the way you play! Arriving in this update are three additional options in the Settings menu in the Gameplay and Controls tabs. If you use a controller, check out the "New Edit Mode Controls" option to swap between editing playstyles, featuring a locked or free cursor.
The new "Use Alternative Sprint Button" allows you to use the newer Sprint button option that was introduced in our Dapper Delights update—or revert to the previous button option. Lastly, enabling the "Tap to Sprint" option will allow you to sprint by tapping your preferred sprint button option versus holding it.
Take to the air with new glider options! Get more use out of your favorite wing back accessories with a new glider option! All wings currently available in-game will be able to be worn as a glider accessory, replacing the "surfing" glider animation with a fluttering animation more befitting wings.
Never forget the task at hand with new tracking options for duties and crafting recipes, allowing them to appear instead of a Quest in the upper left portion of the screen.
Your Royal Tools become more useful with a new Photo Mode option, allowing your Avatar to hold a Royal Tool while snapping a pic! You'll be able to feature other handheld accessories as well, when equipped.
We can't wait to see how you enjoy diving into the Jungle Getaway update! Make sure to connect with us on our official social media accounts below and tag us in your in-game photos!
