Disney Dreamlight Valley: Pumpkins Are the "Great Coaches" Vegetable

The Winter Warmth Star Path in Disney Dreamlight Valley likes to bury its tasks inside riddles, and "plant vegetables that make great coaches" trips up a lot of players. The wording sounds like it wants a sports drill, but it means coach as in carriage. The vegetable it is pointing to is the pumpkin, the same one Cinderella's Fairy Godmother turns into a ride to the ball.

🎃

Quick answer: Plant 25 Pumpkin Seeds. You only need to plant them, not water or harvest them, to clear this duty.

What "vegetables that make great coaches" means

The riddle is a Cinderella reference tied to her arrival during the Winter Warmth event. Because the Fairy Godmother transforms a pumpkin into a carriage, pumpkins are the "great coaches" the task wants. Read it as coach meaning carriage, not coach meaning teacher, and the rest is straightforward gardening.

What you need before planting

You need Pumpkin Seeds and your Royal Shovel. If you don't already have seeds, you can buy them, and the planting itself takes just a few minutes once you have a clear patch of dirt.

How to complete the duty

Step 1: Head to Goofy's Stall in the Forgotten Lands and pick up Pumpkin Seeds for 275 Star Coins each. Buy enough to plant 25 if you don't have a stock already.

Step 2: Find a spot with open ground and equip your Royal Shovel. Dig holes and drop a seed into each one until you have planted 25 Pumpkin Seeds.

Step 3: Stop there. The duty only counts the planting, so you do not need to water or harvest anything to mark it complete.

How to confirm it worked and claim the reward

The Star Path duty updates the moment your 25th seed goes into the ground, and you collect 10 Tokens for finishing it. That payout is small on its own, so plan to knock out other Winter Warmth duties if you are aiming for the larger Star Path prizes.

Tip: A later step in the event asks you to harvest pumpkins, so leave these 25 in the ground instead of replanting elsewhere. Plant them in the Forgotten Lands or on the Forgotten Island, where pumpkins finish in roughly three hours and 35 minutes instead of the usual four hours.

Once the pumpkins are planted and growing, you are set up for the rest of Cinderella's event tasks, including the harvest step, crafting a potion you can really "dig," collecting shoreline shellfish, mining oval gems, and crafting a refinement item.
