The Early Access life-sim Disney Dreamlight Valley is constantly receiving updates with familiar Disney characters and fun features. In a new content update called Pride of the Valley, developer Gameloft included major amounts of content to explore. One of these features is a new way to traverse the Valley, which is gliding. But how can you glide in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Read on to find out.

How to glide in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The more you play this game and expand the Valley, you’ll realize that getting around can be quite difficult. The only way around is to walk or run, but even running can be slow at times. Luckily, in the Pride of the Valley update, Gameloft provided an easier way to move around.

Learning how to glide is quite simple, but can be an easily missed feature. The first step to gliding is to make sure you’re Well-Fed. This means that you’ve just eaten a cooked meal. You can tell if you’ve received this buff if you look at your Energy bar at the top left corner of your screen. Usually this bar is blue, but if you eat cooked meals, a yellow bar will overlap it. This gives you extra stamina, but can also allow you to glide around the Valley.

To glide, hold the ‘Shift’ key while running. You’ll start to see yourself go into a balanced-surfer position, as you begin to glide across the ground with a blue sparkling trail beneath you. Sprinting around like this makes traversing the Valley much faster. But be warned, because it will eat up the yellow bar. Once the yellow disappears, you won’t be able to glide until you’ve eaten another cooked meal.

Raw food won’t cut it, only cooked food works. This new feature makes cooking meals a much more rewarding task, so make sure to stock up if you’re planning to venture to a farther region. Learning how to glide in Disney Dreamlight Valley is tricky to discover at first, but easy to understand.
