How to Share Decoration Presets in Disney Dreamlight Valley is now handled with Preset codes. After the September 23, 2026 Season of Scares update, you can select one of your saved Decoration Presets, use the Share Presets option, generate a unique code, and give that code to another player so the design can be added to their own Preset collection.
The important limitation for How to Share Decoration Presets is that each generated code lasts for 14 days. Gameloft also confirms that an active code remains valid even if the creator edits or deletes the original design afterward, so the recipient does not need the creator to keep the Preset unchanged while the code is still live.

To use How to Share Decoration Presets, open the Decoration Presets interface and highlight the Preset you want to send. Open its options and choose Share Presets. The game generates a unique sharing code that can be passed to another Valley Villager. The receiving player can use that code to add the shared layout to their Preset collection instead of rebuilding the design item by item.
- Open your saved Decoration Presets.
- Highlight the Preset you want to share.
- Open the Preset options and select Share Presets.
- Generate the unique Preset code.
- Send the code to the player who wants the design.
- The recipient uses the code to add the design to their own Preset collection.
Decoration Presets themselves are not new to Season of Scares. They were introduced earlier as a way to save and replace decorated sections of the Valley. What changes with How to Share Decoration Presets is that those saved layouts can now travel between players through a code rather than remaining tied to one account.
How long do Decoration Preset codes last?
Every code created through How to Share Decoration Presets is valid for 14 days. That timer applies to the code, not to the design after another player has successfully added it to their own Preset collection. Gameloft specifically says the code continues to work during its validity period even if the creator changes or removes the original Preset.
That makes sharing less fragile than it might first appear. You do not have to freeze a layout for two weeks just because somebody has your code. The creator can keep decorating, rename or change the saved design, or remove the original, while an already generated code stays usable until its 14-day period ends.
What happens if you do not own the items in a shared Preset?
Missing items do not make How to Share Decoration Presets useless for players with different collections. Disney Dreamlight Valley uses its Mirage system to represent decorations that are part of the layout but are not currently available in the receiving player’s inventory. The update also expands what happens when you interact with those missing-item placeholders.
| Missing item source | What the Mirage does |
|---|---|
| Premium Shop item | Redirects you toward the Premium Shop item when it is available. |
| Current Star Path item | Redirects you to the relevant current Star Path page. |
| Limited series, bundle or unavailable item | Shows that the item is not available for now. |
| Normal obtainable decoration | The existing Mirage system can point you toward buying or crafting the missing item when supported. |
The key point is that importing a shared design does not magically grant paid, limited or otherwise unowned furniture. How to Share Decoration Presets shares the layout data. Mirages preserve the intended placement while the game handles ownership and availability separately.
Can a Preset code give you old Premium Shop items?
A shared code is not a free-item code. If a layout contains something from the Premium Shop, the updated Mirage system can direct you to that item when it is obtainable. If a limited item or bundle is not currently available, the game tells you it is unavailable rather than awarding it through the Preset.
That distinction matters when using How to Share Decoration Presets for elaborate community builds. You can save the structure of somebody else’s design without already owning every object, but you still need legitimate access to the decorations before the Mirages can be replaced with the real items.
Why is Share Presets missing?
If How to Share Decoration Presets is not appearing, first confirm that the September 23 Season of Scares update is installed. Code sharing is part of this update, while the base Decoration Presets feature arrived earlier. Make sure you are looking at a saved Preset and its options rather than searching the normal Furniture catalogue for a separate sharing item.
The update also adds the final Olaf’s Grand Exhibition rooms and the Scholarly Fox completion reward. If you are working through the Halloween content as well, our Season of Scares start guide and quest schedule cover the separate Oogie Boogie event.
Decoration Preset codes are a permanent decorating feature
Gameloft presents How to Share Decoration Presets as an upgrade to the decorating system rather than a six-week Oogie Boogie reward. The feature arrives in the same free update as Season of Scares, but the code-sharing mechanic is part of the wider Decoration Presets system.
For current game information and future decorating changes, the official Disney Dreamlight Valley site is the first-party source. In practical terms, How to Share Decoration Presets is simple: save a layout, use Share Presets to create a code, give it to another player within 14 days, and let Mirages handle decorations they do not yet own.
