How to Get to the Haunted Floating Festival Island

There are a couple of ways to get to the Haunted Floating Festival Island to participate in the event. The first method is to find and interact with a mysterious new portal in the Plaza. Merlin will take you to the newly appeared portal in the Plaza. The new portal is at the center of the plaza, opposite the portal to the Dark Castle. Interact with the new portal to teleport to the Haunted Floating Festival Island.
Alternatively, players can use the quick “Teleport” button under the event tab of the game to get to the new floating island. To do so, open the Haunted Floating Festival section under the Event tab, and you will see the Teleport option on the page. Select the teleport option, and the player will spawn on the island.
How to Solve Haunted Library Puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley
The Haunted Library Puzzle is inside the haunted house on the floating island. Enter the house to find a bookshelf in every room. There are four bookshelves and four books. To get started, you must first unlock the bedroom, which is locked and can only be unlocked using the Repaired Haunted Key. Moreover, you will notice a few sparkling shelves, pumpkins, lion statues, and a ghostly fox around the house. The shelves are part of this puzzle, as you have to place certain books on them. The pumpkins, lion statues, and a ghostly fox will help you get the keys to reach the bedroom.
How to Get the Repaired Haunted Key

For the Repaired Haunted Key, you need two of its fragments. One fragment is dropped by chasing after the ghostly fox inside the haunted house, and the other fragment is dropped by lighting all the pumpkins. Run across the haunted house and chase the ghostly fox until it drops the fragment. Go to the Basement, the door on the left inside the haunted house, to loot the chest to get the candles. There are two pumpkins in the basement that you can light up using the candles. Moreover, while you are in the basement, you will get a hint on breaking the statues using a pickaxe.

Exit the basement and go to the hallway to the bedroom to find the statue with a key. Break the statue to get the key for the chest in the basement. Go back to the basement to open the chest and get two more candles. Now, light up the pumpkins in the main room and the hallway to get the second haunted key fragment.
Once you have the two fragments, use the crafting station in the main room to craft the Repaired Haunted Key.
Place Books in the Bookshelves

Go into the bedroom using the Repaired Haunted Key to find the Grimoire in the center. On the right side, you will see the Release the Curse puzzle, which is another new puzzle. On the back left, you will find your first book.
| Book | Location | Bookshelf |
|---|---|---|
| Boo! The Big Book of Bat Facts by Paul Tergeist | On the floor in the bedroom. | Main room |
| Frightening Flowers by I.M. Skaired | From the bookshelf in the main room. | Hallway |
| The Chilling Cosmos by T. Rick Ortreat | From the bookshelf in the hallway | Basement |
| Terrifying Tunes by Major Frite | From the bookshelf in the basement. | Bedroom |

After placing the books correctly, a memory will drop. Pick up the memory to initiate a memory puzzle. Complete the memory puzzle to reveal the symbol order for the Release the Curse puzzle.
Once done, the Haunted Library puzzle will end, and you will receive the Chomping Chest as a reward.
