Disney Dreamlight Valley Lost Diary cover

Lost Diary entries are one of the collectibles that players can look for throughout Dreamlight Valley. These entries were once part of the diary that the Old Ruler kept before the Forgetting happened. Within these entries, there are snippets of logs that provide some peek as to what life was when the Old Ruler was still in the valley, and there are also logs that suggest what may have happened to them that led to the Forgetting.

In this guide, we will be listing down all the known locations of the Lost Diary entries in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

This guide is a work in progress. It will be updated once additional information is available.

Old Ruler’s Lost Diary Locations in Disney Dreamlight Valley

There are a total of 37 Lost Diary entries according to the Collection tab. It’s assumed that each entry from the first to the last are arranged in chronological order, however, this is only apparent in the final few entries. Despite that, the entries can be found in any order depending on how you explore the valley.

So far, we have only found 32 entries. It is possible that we might have missed some, or that the remaining entries that have yet to be found will be included in future content updates of the game (i.e. inside the Elephant Skull or the Pumpkin House).

Entry #17

#17: Minnie’s house, near the bed

Entry #18

#18: Mickey’s house, near the cabinet

Entry #20

#20: WALL-E’s house, by the shelves

“WALL-E is a bit hard to understand, but it’s worth the effort. That little robot has a big heart. And there’s a lot of nuance to his “oooohs” and aaaahs”!

Entry #23

Entry #24

#24: Sunlit Plateau, west side, near the pond

“…was a perfect day for a picnic, and Minnie said she’d just made chocolate chip cookies that we could… a fresh loaf of bread and some apples from the garden and Mickey and I set out to…”

Entry #27

#27: Peaceful Meadow, near Goofy’s Stall

“…amusing rivalry lately… Scrooge can’t for the life of him figure out why Goofy’s Stall is more profitable… Goofy started trying to help, and that’s going about as funnily as Goofy’s help always does.”

Entry #28

#28: Dazzle Beach, inside the Cursed Cave

“Ursula move to the Beach. Merlin is concerned, but I think it’s a good thing. As the old saying goes: Keep your friends close, and your dangerous Sea Witch associates in nearby caves where you can watch them.”

Entry #29

#29: Forest of Valor, near the path to the Plaza

“Of course I love the Valley. I always will. But lately… so distracted, and there are so many other things I need to…”

Entry #30

Entry #34

#34: Forgotten Lands, south side, near the boulder

“I feel like there’s a hole inside of me. No. I feel like I am mostly a hole, with just a small bit of the person I once was. I’m only enough of a person to feel alone.”

Entry #35

#35: Sunlit Plateau, near the Elephant Graveyard

“Loneliness is sharp. It cuts me like glass in my fingers. But it’s much more awful than broken glass because I cannot see it, or avoid it.”

Entry #36

#36: Donald’s quest, talk to Donald after he returns to the Valley from the Dark Grove

“Loneliness is cold. My mind is numb with solitude. My thoughts are sluggish and dull. I think I could warm myself if I could talk to someone. But there’s no one here.”

Entry #37

#37: Dazzle Beach, northeastern side, near the entrance to the Cursed Cave

I fell asleep under a tree. When I woke up, I couldn’t move. Purple vines had grown around and over me. Their thorns cut me, but they could not cut me as painfully as loneliness, so I pulled myself free.”
