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.
