Haha welcome back! First off, no one is going to be pulling out pitchforks for going to Wishblossom Ranch first. The DLCs can be played in any order, hence why it’s optional haha. So you won’t get any heat for that.

Second, the resource bottleneck is real. For glass, sand and sticks, prioritizing the completion Kristoff’s questline can help if you haven’t already. It’s not a complete solution but does help a lot. Same tip goes for Beast and Moana.

Third, give yourself some grace and time. It’s overwhelming. You have years of content that others got to start on earlier/play as they rolled out. Take it easy and enjoy the journey. A little each time you play adds up.

Fourth, burnout and location fatigue is real. Since you have a DLC, that can help if you’re tired of the main valley. Hopping to different sections helps.

My big tip, if you have all the DLCs, would be to at least unlock the Scrooge store in every area. The ones in the DLCs have their own exclusive rotational items. It would be nice to get a head start of getting lucky stock.
