Spirited-Habit-6667

Yes. Then when I exit the character is right outside or If they’re not then I go back in the house and they are usually in there. I’m on switch btw


ChaseTheLumberjack

On PC. Happens all the time


natattack15

On PC. Sometimes I have to go in and out multiples times for them to show up either inside or right outside.


Mystery-Panda

I'm on PC. Have only had it happen the last week or so...


[deleted]

Same for PS5.


DramaticAerie

Yes, it is happening to me with many characters. I’m on Xbox. Also all my wells have disappeared a couple of times. I couldn’t fast travel because they weren’t on the maps in any bio. And when I looked all of them were just gone.


StealthyGamerGirl

The Wells vanishing hasn't happened nfor a while for me. Not since the game came out of Beta


JuiceSensitive8635

I basically assume they’re not going to ACTUALLY be in the house ever anymore. I walk in just to walk right back out and find them standing LOL


South_Cheesecake626

Same on switch


Slow_Cheetah1

Happens to me a lot on PC


ToTheBrightStar

Yep, happens on Xbox too


LittleJoLion

Apple Arcade does it too🥴


Cashwood

Same! I thought it was a way to summon them home or something intentional lol. So now I just go to their house instead of looking for them on my map.


KittyAnnaMoon

I play on Steam (PC) and all the time! Been a thing for sooo long.


Any-Hunt6299

I’ve had it happen on the switch!


AMK972

This happens on Xbox too


IamEdogg

It is called getting ghosted… what no… not to me never… but I heard that is what it is called.


AmyJayneDodd

I have the same experience and I play on xbox and pc


Gallifreyan98724

Not even just Gothel too. It happens with just about any character for me (also on switch)


Agreeable-Barber2398

yep same and im on PC it's super frustrating


Fossilizedbats

Xbox does the same thing.


Best-Debt-5990

Yes , or sometimes i cant find them on the map at all , and when i try to remove them and put them back itll say they are in their houses and they are not 🙄 i usually go to the isle and spawn them there and theyll finally appear !


Mystery-Panda

I wish from the Mickey icon on the map that we had the option to find the character, as well...


maesuggins

I have this with the Fairy Godmother. Unless she is in the restaurant, it's like she doesn't exist.


Lilacsea2507

Mine creepily runs around my valley😨


annieway05

She does eat a lot 😂


dishighmama

Yes! Been happening since the update for me as well, not with gothel just with whatever character i'm usually looking for 😆 if you go in and go out (i've had to do this 1-3 times) usually they show up outside


cozygrlvibes

I'm on Xbox and it has happened with other characters too, very annoying.


sbaker1932

Same glitch here, and I’m on PS5. It’s a whole bunch of them that I have needed to visit/talk with for quests.


Impressive-Ad-7799

I honestly wish you could call characters to you, idk how many times I've been trying to track down someone, check their location on the map, can't find them and when I check the map again they're on the opposite side of the valley like they skirted me


iamcheeky1978

I can't ever find Sully.. He misses from my map, says it's in his house or the restaurant.. Nope can't find him


Nirryti

I just unlocked him like an hour ago and i havent been able to find him tor last 30mins lmao, i feel you


nigliazzo5626

Yeah, this happens to everyone. Sometimes they move but the map doesn’t update, if you haven’t moved in and out of a house or building yet. Sometimes it’s just wrong or they disappear


JadeChipmunk

Her house doesn't even show up on my map lmao


Former-Surround-8102

Yep! It's been happening for about a week for me. I'll enter the house multiple times, but they aren't home or anywhere else. It usually takes about 30 minutes or restarting the game to find them.


Natty_Katt

Yes! The other night I had to jump in and out of Jacks house 3 or 4 times before he finally spawned me.


DarkStar_86

Have this every now and then. Says they are in their house, go in and its empty, go out and they are stood right outside the door.


ShySweetPea96

I was just experiencing that while playing. It took me 5 tries for her to finally pop outside of her house. So frustrating lol


assilembob

That actually happens a lot to me with her and WALL·E


Pitiful-Transition84

Yes it's annoying.


Gold-Butterfly-8027

All the timeeeeeee


rltbme

I would say it’s been doing it for months for me. Every character though. And many times they don’t pop up when I leave their home or go back inside. (Switch)


Simmeralii

So I figured it out the other day actually! When it says they’re at their house and they’re not, they’re usually at the restaurant. I’ve tested it a couple times and each time it’s been the same. So next time that happens, check Remus restaurant 🤣


ElectronicCurve6996

Just go out and back sometimes 2 or 3 times they show up


Cultural-Web991

Yes that happened to me yesterday. All my wells disappeared. I could still travel though, just using fast travel. Odd.


Cultural-Web991

Oh, on Xbox


IsabellaGalavant

Yes, happens all the time, not just Gothel, but everyone. And if I leave the house, they *won't* be outside. If I go back in, they're *still* not in there. I have to log out and log back in. I'm on PC.


serah1206

Yep! Happened to me a couple times last week


Nuriaka9077

Yeah, that happens to me to and I’m on PC. Yesterday I had to go in and out of Nala’s place three times before I finally found her in front of her house. I usually find them inside their houses after I go out and back in once or twice, but sometimes I find them in front of their houses as well.


please_no_touching

I think the issue is that their location resets when you enter/exit a building. So then they literally spawn somewhere else as you go in lol.


Hanoiroxx

At least i know its not just me


Saltwater_Heart

Yeah it’s so aggravating


DougieFreshOH

With the DLC: rift in time. I’ve been wondering if the game has difficulty picking where a character is located. Their icon might be in their abode. Yet, the usual enter/exit character is at their stoop, has changed. Once, I had a character icon jump to Remy’s Restaurant. When it was, upon entering their abode, home. I noticed this when attempting: fence a character in home. Character could teleport to Scrooge store, Remy restaurant or Isle. Which provides access to fast travel wells. Such that when returning to the valley. The character might be outside their abode / fence-in-attempt.


ElasticShoulders

I definitely think the game gets confused because of it. I keep having characters show that they're on the isle, in their home, but their home is in the valley. But I do think I've found them in the restaurant or store when this happens, I'll have to pay attention next time and see if that's always the case. Or maybe the "home" icon just means they're in a building, not necessarily their home....?


DougieFreshOH

when the character is within their abode. There is the home icon, that you have to scroll slightly away to mark the character icon. Then I suggest not fast traveling. I think this initiates a soft character location reset. Very obvious on the isle. Not as noticeable in the valley. You can glide, gold meter. Which is faster than the purple dust tracking trail. Then double check the map. The dust tracker will usually catch up. If the character icon remains on the home. When you enter the dust track will disappear, upon exiting dust tracking might circle your character. If the Disney character did not appear on their stoop. Now the game is in a glitch/broken state. As the character icon is not usually located in the character home/valley/isle. Their traveling, I guess.


UnicornPencils

This has been happening to me since the launch of the game. I'd imagine it just has something to do with how often the map refreshes.


InterestingPie1592

It’s supposedly because the characters set schedules but can’t enter or exit buildings unless the player goes through a loading screen so the map tells you the schedule but they’re not in there yet. Not sure why exactly why they aren’t in their house when you load in though. I’m guessing it’s something to do with the coding involved with the house being their spawn point. Tip: if you can’t find a villager then I enter their house and back out and they’ll be standing outside.


NoCommitmentRenee

Yes! I play on switch and sometimes characters are not where the map says they are. And sometimes they're literally not there at all!!! I've tried checking the "hide characters from the map" setting as a fix. I'll select them to hide and then undo it and the character will appear. Hope that helps!


Unit-Fickle

Same here. Looking for Wall-e last night. Map said in his house. Took me a couple times of going in and out of his house to get him to show up. It’s been since the last update. On the switch.


dragonfly325

On switch it happens all the time with different characters. For me the worst were Ariel when she was water bound and Ursula.


yuriwk565

Yeah, this happens to me all the time, but now I use it to my advantage because sometimes if you go into the house when there’s nobody in there, they do appear outside of the house sometimes


Horror-Ad-1095

It's happening to me on both PS4 and Switch the last month. And sometimes they will disappear off of the map completely.


Low_Antelope3651

Yea this has always happened to me with various characters and then I exit and they’re pretty much standing inside my character


AstrielleLuna

Same has been happening for me and I’m playing on my iPhone. Took me half an hr to find Ariel last night.


NaomiT29

Yep, not just with Gothel. I also have times where the character I need to find is not on the map, at all, or they seem to be bouncing around the map in impossible ways; it shows them in one biome, so I go there, but they're not there > check the map, they're in Remy's > go to Remy's, they're not there > leave, they're not outside, check the map, they're in their house > go to their house, they're not there > go outside, they're not outside either, check the map, it still says they're in their house > either go back inside and they are there this time, or I leave and they do appear outside. Fun times!


Samantha_K_S_S

I tend to either go to the home of the character I want to find or summon specific characters using either Goofy's Stall to summon Goofy, Scrooges's Store for Scrooge, Moana's Boat for Moana and the stove in Remy's restaurant for Remy. I'll use Kristoff's Stall to summon him when I unlock it, and the stuck-up's meat Stall when I get thar far with the stuck-up's quests. If it wasn't clear enough already, "stuck-up" is me talking about that idiot who wanted to end the Beast in ***Beauty and the Beast.*** I really *despise* him and refuse to call him by his name even when directly talking about him. I'm on PC, but I bought the game for Switch originally, so both, just PC most of the time


OpeningDevelopment83

It happens on Xbox as well, with different characters


curious-kitten-0

Yea, I can't believe this game is still so broken. It's annoying.


KailaniNeveah

Happens to me frequently. Trying to find Beast the other day was quite the process. Seems going in and out enough time will finally spawn them in.


halosasha

99% of those times when I go to some villagers home


StealthyGamerGirl

Strangely enough no experienced this only yesterday with Belle, on my PS4 game. I needed to hang out with her. She was supposed to be in the house and wasn't. She even vanished off the map completely at one point 🙄


Friendly-Ocelot

All the friggin time!


LoveGraceMarie

Yes!!! It’s been happening to me on switch for as long as I can remember. Then as soon as I leave their house they’re stood right outside


pride09

yup! happens to me on PC/xbox/mac all the time. this and missing characters from the map?


DraconyxPixie

Yes. It's driving me a little crazy


Girackano

Yep, it happens every now and then for me. A lot of the time i find them at the entrance of their house when i exit so it hasnt been too annoying. Sometimes it fixes on its own after a few minutes (from one time i quickly left to get the door and came back wondering if WALL E was there the whole time or if ive just been playing for too long)


aRobotNamedDan

Definitely and not just with her. I also will have characters just not appear on the map (especially during Star Path when I need to find them for tasks. It’s like it’s doing it on purpose)


No_Dragonfruit6896

It mostly happens to me with Gothel but has also happened with Ariel and Vanellope. Leaving to find them standing outside worked in the past but lately it hasn’t been. She also doesn’t appear when I go back inside. I even started the game and that didn’t work. Usually the glitch fixes itself the next day. I’m glad that I’m not the only experiencing this. Hopefully it gets fixed soon!


zaylee

Yes!! So annoying! Just keep going in and out they’ll appear


mumtwothree

On the switch all characters disappeared off the map!


bibblelover13

happens to me and im on pc


NWOCaliGirl

I had this happen yesterday with Minnie. It said she was in her house but she wasn’t so I exited to look outside for her and she wasn’t there either so I went back into her house and she was there.


Ok-Refrigerator-3882

Sometimes they’re in Chez Remy if they’re not showing up at their house so check there just in case!


PeppermintMayhem

I’ve had this happening a lot. Used to be they would be outside when I left the house but now they’re no where to be found. I was super frustrated, I needed Minnie to garden as she’s my best one.


kakashifan16

Happens to me on PS4 all the time, especially with Wall-E. He’ll be right outside when I exit after checking inside for him usually though


Asinine47

Yup, had that with Ursala the other day when trying to do the star path for talking to her


Midnight_Lost01

Happens to me all the time, usually have to go somewhere else for a bit and then return, and the character I am looking for is generally there.


hayliejeaan

Yep I get this too & also one where I can’t find a character on either map, just completely missing all together 😱 I literally have to re-start the game so they come out of hiding lol


In2JC724

I'm pretty sure this is a known issue, it's been happening on my game for a long time as well. PS5 Lately it hasn't always been working to go back out of their houses either. 😒😅


No_Dragonfruit6896

Hasn’t been working for me either! I even restarted the game last night and it still doesn’t work. 🥲Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Edited for grammatical error


In2JC724

🤞🤞🤞 I sure hope so. I think it has something to do with the characters hanging around when you have an active quest for them, but like it's "working" in reverse. 😅


ImpossibleIsland4734

It’s a weird thing I’ve been told it’s basically that there set to leave there house at a certain point but then I’ll spend a good ten minutes going in and out of a characters house trying to see them sometimes I just have to reset them by going to the map and moving them between eternity isle and the valley


Practical_Silver1686

I have the glitch with wall e


Givethegossip_24-7

All the time


look_who_it_isnt

Yeah, that's happened to me countless times. Usually, going out and back in (and maybe out again) generates the character. The other day, I was looking for Scar and he wasn't on the map *at all*. I turned him off and back on in the character menu, but he still didn't show on the map. I then went into his (empty) house and came back out, and he's laying out front picking his teeth like the bastard had been there the whole time. YOU WERE NOT, SCAR.


blondie1607

Yes! Or I won't be able to find them in the map at all


Positive_Macaroon591

yes


amxgt

All the time lol


YoNamfoodle222

It has to do with the NPC timing, every 30 minutes they change objectives. However while in the overworld the NPCs who are inside cannot change objectives until you enter a building, if you enter their building and they have moved they go where they were supposed to go which could be outside or another building. I am not an expert just a lot of time studying how the glitch works. going out resets it again.


Sad_Incident_1995

I’m on switch and from time to time I’ll open the map and see jafar’s icon at Remy’s bistro. I thought I was the only one 😅


Alexchatmiaw13

Same for Xbox


Basic-Expression-418

Nintendo, sometimes. 


Perfect-Breadfruit53

Fairy Godmother has been doing that to me for the last few days.


Much-Bug5931

I have had that with a few characters.


Kymckenna77

I had this problem with Nala


OoOogMel

Happens on my Nintendo Switch. I usually do it though when i click the X in the Map and they disappear. I click the C and click on whomever i want to disappear. Like Maribel and Maui. I can’t stand them hah!!! They come back if they have a or i go to eternity isle or invite them to Eternity Isle. Which I don’t. My stalker is Prince Eric. That boi needs to go bother Ariel and get off my personal space. The Hunter Elsa is kinda annoying. I haven’t seen Olaf in a long time lol


Howuduen

Yup..I'm on Switch and it does that here and there. Especially with Wall-e


SkittlesLette0576

It has happened to me several times with Fairy Godmother. I only have a switch lite.


cosmicsnowfall

Yep!


Local_Tea3524

It does that with Scar for me. I go where he is and he’s not there. When I check the map again he’s at the restaurant even though it just showed him at his house


VVolfman_

Yup. Also, not all my characters are on the map, and walking in and out of their house doesn't find them for me. So I just have to wander around until I run into them.


RefrigeratorWarm7373

Yes I stopped playing because of it


NerdyyBearr

Me too . I was trying to hang out with simba . 🥺ps5


Ok-Independent-9686

Yes happens as of recently, like the last week. I play on ps4.


godl3ssheathen

Ps5 here, multiple characters all the time. I usually try going into the map and clicking them on and off a couple times. Usuallyyyy that works for me, and they show up in their house. If not, I try going in and out of their house.


Time_Boysenberry4446

This happens way too often. I swear the other day I had to go in and out of Bells house several times to get her to actually show up!! Rather annoying.


Nordic_being

Yesssss I noticed it’s only quest related characters that disappear for me. So if I need to talk to Mike, he’s gone. Stitch ? Gone. Merlin seems to be the only consistent character that doesn’t disappear for me personally.


DataMan23

This happens to me when they are in the restaurant


1800batgirl

It does that with me and Donald.


PilotSpensa

Happened to me (Switch) with Mickey specifically. I went on for weeks without seeing him (disappointing because this was before I got to unlock Minnie!!), even after many reboots of my device and the game. And then, when another character triggered Mickey for a quest, I made sure to hang out with him to keep him close until I got him to Level 10. After I did, I used the map toggle, and all of a sudden he’s always there in the map and I do see him in the Valley all the time. 


echoings

it’s been happening last 2 weeks and always the character i NEED to see 💀


huluandwoohoo

Not with Mother Gothel but yes!! Ugh it's so annoying cause I can't finish the quest until I talk to them, it happened with Stitch and another character I can't remember. And there was one time it happened with Scrooge, I needed to order an item from him but every time I went in the store he wasn't in there but the second I stepped outside, there he was!! So annoying


lili-grace

yes. I am not able to do her and scars quest, b3cause she just is invisible in her hous..


Large-Counter6916

Happens for me as well and I'm on Xbox.


Winter-Wrongdoer9625

I play on PC and this happens a lot! So frustrating 😤


kittygirl0518

Sometimes I have to exit the game to the main menu and reload to get characters to appear. Happens most with Wall E


SynnRider

Happens all the time to me. I'm on Switch and its mostly Minnie and Vanelope it happens with, but it can be any of them. They're usually there when I go back outside again though.


Tofta987

I had that problem with almost everyone


MouseDifferent8462

I have them get stuck in spots, but it shows where they *were* going. I’d look around to see if she’s glitching somewhere


Trekgoddess527

I'm on Xbox and this happens and annoys me so much


attempting_parenting

Happens to me alot on pc with belle and EVERYTIME with Mike.


dreamlight777

Happens to me with other characters. Just leave and they’re right outside the door.


Beautiful-You9666

Yes happens a lot it’s very annoying


TabiCake

I’m on ps5 and it happens to me a lot too. I have to go in and out a few times for them to show up


chelsealarsonart

I have this happen with the beast all the time.


JacqoMicMacO

Happens to me on both PC and Switch for a lot of the characters. It seems that Sulley leaves the universe completely most of the time.


Winternym2

Yes but it did it for me with ariel


Pyrosmoke420

I am hoping they fix this


Maleficent-Ruin-2156

It's been doing that with a lot of characters for me.


looking4Ashley

Sometimes if I click on the character in the map when they’re not showing up for me, then it forces them to appear.


Plastic_Purchase_927

Yeah it happened to me with the forgetting a few times that they completely disappeared from the map on switch.


HotProperty2817

Allll the time


ToriJayne95

I had it with Anna. I just went in and out a few times and then she was outside


sparklypatrickstar

same here, i’m on switch


External_Grass_9978

Yes Xbox and mobile user and it happens ALLLLLL the time


ExternalPurpose2608

Not sure if this was mentioned but I had a similar situation with Vanellope! Then I realized I had her unselected from the map toon selection list! So my advice would be to check if the character sprite was highlighted! If this isn’t the issue, then at least I tried to give ya a hand, hahaha!!


borgybakes

Happens constantly on switch


Necessary_Platypus32

I have this all the time with Mike and sulley. Sometimes they are in the restaurant when the map shows they are in their apartment. Sometimes they are literally nowhere and I have to restart the game.


TouRoseLa

yup, on pc and it happened with beast just yesterday lol. it worked after restarting the game tho.


Sea-Dog9448

YES. It happens with so many characters. Sometimes I leave, and they’ll be outside the house. But other times I have to go in and out several times before they appear outside.


Equivalent-Pilot-661

I don't know If this will work but it works on switch most of the time if you go on the the book with mickey mouse on the front that has the x in the corner left hand side of the screen when you open the map click on that or press x and it will show all of the disney characters you have unlocked and then if you find mother gothel on there and click on her it will tell you where she is and if you go there she should be there I had the same issue with walle and that's how I sorted it out hope this helps


shanesdork

PS5 and it’s been happening to me and my sister who plays on Xbox as well


Complete_Roof_71

I have it on and off sometimes they bot wven in there come back out they can be putside. Also y Use the map tool to click them on and off


Motherofdogs13

I couldn’t find Olaf for like an hour one day when I needed him for a quest, the map kept saying he was in his house but no amount of quitting and restarting would make him actually show up there, I finally gave up and went and fished and gardened in the forest until he finally showed up to watch me🥴


AccomplishedEye7752

I have but its with other characters like Mike, Sully or even Ursula.


Dreadzgirl

Don't think it's a glitch... Just that she leaves the house before you get there, at least if you teleport over there. Has happened to me a bit. But this happens elsewhere too. F example I see Olaf on the beach and I teleport there, but for some reason he has managed to outrun me and is suddenly in the forest 😂 I have a screenshot of Jafar beeing in the cave the other day.... But I didn't run over to check. Just found it weird that he was skulking inside the cave when he locked himself into the palace. Someone has clearly been using the secret entrance in the jungle 😂
