The schedules have to work around a lot of different things so yes characters will be scheduled late at night.I think DCL shiuld just be more consistent. On the Dream over the Summer not a single Marvel character and toys just for toddler time. Fantasy has Marvels, Magic has Marvels so I find it very understandable that people expect them to be there when they come on the Dream for a long cruise. You have VIPs for -everyone- and princesses appeal generally spoken more to girls than boys so people were talking about the mack of boysstuff.
And I get that there are certain operational restrictions but you do have Jessie and Woody onboard but then send them out at times only families when toddlers can go meet them… it is kind of like na-ha we got them but you cant meet them.
And copy pasting schedules just seem a very easy thing. And that means for characters that are consequently scheduled late at night (read Chip and Dale) people with younger kids that wish to sort of respect their nightrest say a week into the cruise: we didnt get t see them yet.
If there were more toddler time meet and greets there would be less Cast and less time available for everyone else.
While there may be costumes and characters onboard, not all can be for meet and greets. There is a difference between the role of a character performer and a Mainstage performer who plays a character. They are not trained to portray a character like the character performers and cannot do meet and greets. So for example, if Pocahontas or Anna and Elsa are in the shows in the theater, yes technically they are onboard and so are their costumes. But there is no character performer trained in those roles so they cant schedule these characters for meet and greets
