How to use photo mode in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Take a selfie!

Photo mode allows you to take pictures of your avatar and Disney characters around Dreamlight Valley. To unlock photo mode, you must start your journey in Dreamlight Valley and complete Merlin's first task. Merlin will ask you to clear away the thorns in front of the house. After clearing them, you will gain access to your house and phone for pictures.
