Finding characters

I meant to post this yesterday for those who haven’t been to Epic Universe yet. For those of you who are looking for roaming characters, (outside of Hiccup and Toothless/ Astrid and Stormfly who are always at Berk), we noticed that no one was really out until the afternoon. (Toad in Nintendo was the only one we could find in our first lap around the park. Nintendo seems to have a lot of meet and greet areas set up so I’m thinking this will probably be the easiest place to find characters throughout the day once the park officially opens.)

Unfortunately there is nothing posted anywhere in the park or on the app as far as actual appearance times. We asked about DK but was told by the folks in the shop next to his stage that he wasn’t appearing at all on Tuesday. Caught the very end of one of the Nightlight appearances (Pouncer), never saw any of the others appear. Not sure why this is the case or if it’s just that it’s really crazy the first half of the day in the park - but if you don’t find anyone swing back in the afternoon and try again.

We were on a mission to find Igor in Darkmoor, finally found him around 4:30pm. (He was so worth tracking down!) A little later we saw the Invisible Man as well. Tuffnut, Ruffnut, and Gobber came out after 2:30 or so. Didn’t find Frankie and the Bride until the very end of the night, wasn’t able to get photos with them but it was cool to see them. There are some streetmosphere characters who pop up as well, the wizarding students in Paris, violin players in Darkmoor, but the “main characters” - the ones all over the social media platforms who actually roam around the portals- seem to be mainly available in the afternoons and early evening. Just wanted to pass that along for anyone else who really wants to see them.
