One of the appeals of Disney Dreamlight Valley is getting to live in the same village as a bunch of Disney and Pixar characters. However, early on in the game there are only a handful of characters living in the Valley. In order to populate the Valley with all of the Disney characters you will need to complete a variety of quests and tasks to bring them back. Here's how to unlock all characters currently in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Merlin from The Sword in the Stone is the first character you will meet after beginning Disney Dreamlight Valley. The wizard is available from the moment you start the game.
Wall-E
Wall-E, the lovable Pixar robot, can be invited to the Valley by entering his realm once you unlock the Magic Castle. It costs Dreamlight to enter his realm. After meeting Wall-E, you will need to complete a quest for him, which involves cleaning up garbage cubes, planting some plants, and acquiring some knick-knacks for him. After placing his home, he will move to the Valley.
