This guide will show you whether or not you should take the risk and time travel in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Time travel is rather simple in a game like this. All you need to do is alter the time of your console or PC and the game will jump forward or backward in time. This will allow you to reset gifts and daily conversations with residents and increase their Friendship Level quicker. This is also a way to fix the Dream Shard glitch. However, time travel is risky.

Unfortunately, in its current state, Disney Dreamlight Valley isn’t prepared for time-traveling players. If you attempt to time travel in Dreamlight Valley, it will break your game. While it will reset things like daily conversations, it will prevent other items like fruits and Rock Spots from respawning, preventing you from progressing in quests that require these items. This will also prevent you from being able to interact with any vegetables that you have planted before time traveling and can even mess with your Founder’s Pack Rewards. If you decide to time travel, you will need to wait until the time you traveled to and the real-world time is in sync for everything to go back to normal.
