- No expiry date has been announced — but Gameloft’s promo codes historically don’t last long, so redeem it as soon as possible.
- The Season of Scares update is live now, bringing Oogie Boogie and the Haunting Elegance Star Path — perfect timing to put those Moonstones to use.
- The upcoming paid expansion The Keepsake Sea (featuring Jack Sparrow) is targeting a November 2026 launch, with a full showcase set for October 21.

If you’ve been stacking up excuses to jump back into Disney Dreamlight Valley, Gameloft just handed you a pretty solid one. A new promo code is live right now that drops a bundle of free currency straight into your in-game mailbox — and it costs nothing except about 30 seconds of your time to redeem.
The Code: BACKTODDV26
The active promo code is BACKTODDV26. Punch that into the game’s redemption box and you’ll receive a letter in your in-game mailbox containing:
- 250 Moonstones (the game’s premium currency)
- 2,500 Dreamlight
- 2,500 Star Coins
That’s a solid little bundle across the board — the Dreamlight and Star Coins alone will help you unlock biomes and keep your valley running smoothly, while the Moonstones are always a welcome top-up for anyone keeping an eye on something in the Premium Shop.
There’s no confirmed expiry date on this code right now, but that’s actually more reason to redeem it quickly rather than less. Gameloft’s promo codes tend to disappear without much warning, and “no expiry announced” doesn’t mean it’ll be around forever. Grab it now and worry about what to spend the Moonstones on later.
How to Redeem the Code in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Redeeming the code is quick. Head into the game’s Settings menu, navigate to the Help section, and you’ll find a text box labelled Redemption Code. Type in BACKTODDV26 exactly as written — capitalization matters — and hit Claim. Once it goes through, head back to your house and check the mailbox outside. Your rewards will be waiting there to collect.
If you get an error saying the code doesn’t exist, double-check your spelling and make sure there are no extra spaces. These codes are case-sensitive and need to be entered precisely to work.
What to Spend Your Moonstones On Right Now
The timing on this code couldn’t be better, honestly. Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Season of Scares update launched on September 23, and it’s the game’s biggest Halloween celebration yet. The update introduces Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas as a new character — he shows up through a mysterious mirror in Scrooge McDuck’s store, and you’ll work through six weeks of challenges to permanently unlock him as a Valley resident. Complete his questline and you’ll also earn Zero, Jack Skellington’s ghost dog, as a companion. Just make sure you start his first quest before November 4th, or you’ll be waiting until next Halloween to get another shot.
Running alongside the Oogie Boogie questline is the Haunting Elegance Star Path, packed with dark, whimsical Halloween-themed outfits, furniture, and decorations. If you’ve been holding back from diving into the Star Path because you were short on Moonstones, this new code nudges you a bit closer to making it happen.
The Premium Shop is also leaning all the way into The Nightmare Before Christmas vibes right now. Current options include a Halloween Town House, a Pumpkin King Costume, and the Ghostly “Zero” Fox bundle — a companion fox dressed up as Zero himself. There are also seasonal items like a Sinister Bridge Set and Stitch’s Vampire Costume Dream Style for anyone who wants to go a different Halloween direction. Two limited-time events are coming up too: the Haunted Floating Festival returns from October 7–31, and Trick or Treat runs from October 14–31 with candy-collecting activities and event-specific rewards.
250 Moonstones won’t cover the priciest items in the shop on their own, but they’re a legitimate contribution to whatever you’re saving up for — and every bit helps in a game where the premium shop gets refreshed constantly with new content.
Other Ways to Earn Free Moonstones
If you want to keep building your Moonstone stash beyond this promo code, there are a couple of reliable free methods baked into the game itself. The blue chests that appear around the Valley each day give you a small batch of Moonstones every time you find one — it’s worth making a habit of hunting them down daily. The DreamSnaps competitions are the other big one: entering weekly earns you Moonstones, and voting on other players’ entries adds a little more on top. Neither method makes you rich overnight, but stacking them consistently alongside codes like this one does add up over time.
What’s Coming Next for Disney Dreamlight Valley
Beyond the Season of Scares content, the game’s next major release is the fourth paid expansion: The Keepsake Sea. Revealed at D23 in August 2026, this underwater-themed expansion brings Captain Jack Sparrow, Milo Thatch from Atlantis, and Megara from Hercules to the Valley, along with the ability to swim underwater as a mermaid — a completely new gameplay mechanic. Gameloft has confirmed a dedicated showcase stream on October 21 to reveal full details, with the expansion targeting a November 2026 launch. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but like previous paid expansions, it’ll likely come bundled with bonus Moonstones — another way to top up your premium currency stash when it arrives.
Monetization has always been a talking point with Disney Dreamlight Valley, especially given its shift from the originally planned free-to-play model to a paid title that also carries a robust premium shop. It’s a valid criticism, and it’s not going away. But Gameloft has stayed consistent about offering free updates and occasional giveaways like this one — and if you’re already in the game, a free promo code dropping 250 Moonstones is a pretty easy win to take advantage of.
