Eeyore is having a rough time, even by his own standards. In Disney Dreamlight Valley, the A Gloomy Goofy Adventure quest tasks you with helping this perpetually gloomy donkey reconnect with an old friend through a trail of lost footprints, a misplaced gift, and a full-on picnic in the Honeyglow Woods. The quest has more steps than it first appears, so here's everything you need to know to get through it without backtracking unnecessarily.
How to start A Gloomy Goofy Adventure
The quest begins in the Gloommeadow biome inside Honeyglow Woods. Head to the waterfall near the southern entrance of Gloommeadow, close to the ramp that connects to Drowsybloom Acre. Once you arrive, talk to Eeyore to kick things off.

How do you follow the footprints in Gloommeadow?
After chatting with Eeyore, scan the ground near the waterfall for brown footprints. These belong to Goofy, who dropped a present somewhere along the way. Follow the trail until it stops, then talk to Eeyore again to figure out the next move.
The footprints will send you on a bit of a loop. After your second conversation with Eeyore and Goofy, a new set of prints appears. Follow these through the Gloommeadow biome and you'll end up looping back to the same waterfall. Talk to Eeyore once more.
Eeyore then spots yet another trail leading toward Drowsybloom Acre. Head up the ramp from Gloommeadow into Drowsybloom Acre and follow this new set of prints. They lead directly to the Everoak Tree entrance.
Where is Goofy's Present?
Step inside the Everoak Tree and look for a sparkling purple item on the ground a short distance from the entrance. That's Goofy's Present. Pick it up, then find Goofy nearby and hand it back to him.

What materials do you need for the picnic?
With the present recovered, the group decides to celebrate with a picnic. You'll need to gather two sets of items: materials for Goofy to set up the picnic, and food ingredients for everyone to eat.
Picnic setup materials
Collect the following before meeting back with Goofy:
Once you have all three, bring everything to Goofy.
Food ingredients for the feast
After handling the setup materials, you'll need to gather ingredients for the actual meal:
How to cook the Honey-Glazed Plush Fish
With all your ingredients collected, head to any cooking station in the area. The Honey-Glazed Plush Fish recipe requires exactly three ingredients:
- One Golden Honey
- One Plush Fish
- One vegetable (your choice)
Combine these at the cooking station to produce the dish. After cooking, bring it to Eeyore along with the other picnic supplies you gathered.
How do you finish A Gloomy Goofy Adventure?
With everything in hand, place the Eeyore Picnic Set anywhere in Honeyglow Woods. Once it's down, use your camera to take a picture of the picnic with Eeyore, Goofy, Winnie the Pooh, and Tigger. After the photo, have one final conversation with Eeyore to wrap up the quest.
The quest ends on a genuinely warm note. Watching Eeyore's mood lift, even slightly, after reconnecting with Goofy makes the footprint-chasing loop worth it.
Honeyglow Woods is packed with quests that follow a similar structure of gathering, crafting, and delivering. If you want to keep the momentum going, the Interlude: The Misplaced Honey quest walkthrough covers another Honeyglow-area quest in full detail, and the Chapter 4: A Tail Tale walkthrough handles Eeyore's earlier story arc in Gloommeadow if you haven't finished that one yet. For the full list of available quests, the Disney Dreamlight Valley guides collection has everything organized by quest and character.
