The Dreamlight Parks Fest event in Disney Dreamlight Valley brings exciting new quests, including the challenging Critter Snaps mission. Given by Mirabel, this task requires players to take photos of her with five different squirrels scattered across the valley. If you're struggling to complete this quest, our detailed guide will help you track down each critter and snap the perfect pictures to earn your rewards.

Dreamlight Parks Fest: Critter Snaps Quest Guide


To finish the Critter Snaps duty, you must photograph Mirabel alongside each of the five wild squirrels in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Unlike other critter-related quests, this one does not count tamed squirrels—you’ll need to find them roaming freely in the Plaza biome.

Step-by-Step Guide to Completing Critter Snaps


  • Ask Mirabel to Hang Out
    • Before starting, ensure Mirabel is following you. She must appear in every photo for the quest to count.
  • Head to the Plaza Biome
    • All five squirrels spawn exclusively in the Plaza, the central area of the valley.
  • Locate the Squirrels
    • Each squirrel has a specific spawn schedule. Check the table below to find their availability.
  • Equip Your In-Game Camera

    • Open the Royal Tool wheel and select your phone to enter photo mode.
  • Position Mirabel and the Squirrel

    • Adjust the camera angle so both Mirabel and the squirrel are clearly visible in the frame.
  • Take the Photo

    • Snap the picture to register progress. Repeat this for all five squirrels.
