| <strong>Regular Visitors</strong>
+
In the [[First generation|first-generation ''Animal Crossing'' games]], each time the game is loaded, one of five special visitors is scheduled to appear in town between two and seven days in the future. The five visitors are [[Gracie]], [[Katrina]], [[Redd]], [[Saharah]], and [[Wendell]]. The town's [[Environment rating|Field Rank]] changes the frequency at which these visitors come to town: at the lowest rank, one visitor comes every two to seven days, and the range decreases by one day for each rank, until a visitor is guaranteed every two days at the highest two ranks. When spoken to, [[Copper]] tells the player who the next visitor will be and when they will arrive.
 +
 
 +
[[K.K. Slider]] and [[Joan]] are guaranteed to appear every Saturday night and Sunday morning, respectively. Gulliver is also guaranteed to appear on one random weekday each week.
 +
 
 +
[[Wisp]], [[Tortimer]], and [[Blanca]], who were all introduced in {{DnM+}}, can appear any day of the week and only show up once certain conditions have been met.

 +
Once the island is established, there can be one special visitor on the island each day (other than [[Celeste]] and [[Wisp]], one or both of whom can appear any night). Certain visitors will set up a booth in the [[Resident Services]] Plaza while most others will wander throughout the island during their visit. Only [[Daisy Mae]] and [[K.K. Slider]] are (usually) guaranteed a specific day each week, Sunday and Saturday respectively. Several visitors are not guaranteed to appear every week, but those who don't visit one week will have priority for the following week. A week's schedule is determined at the beginning of the week. Before the 1.3.0 update, [[Kicks]], [[Saharah]], and [[Leif]] had guaranteed appearances each week, while K.K. Slider performed on Friday if there was an event scheduled for Saturday.
 +
 
 +
There may be exceptions to these criteria if there are special [[events]] during the week, which may include a character visiting multiple times. For example, [[C.J.]] could potentially appear as a weekday visitor as well as the host of the [[Fishing Tourney]] if scheduled for that Saturday. K.K. will also typically make an extra visit for a player's [[birthday]] if it doesn't coincide with his regular weekly visit.

Special visitor schedules[edit]

In the first-generation games[edit]

For a list of all special characters in the first-generation Animal Crossing games, see Animal Crossing/Characters.

In the first-generation Animal Crossing games, each time the game is loaded, one of five special visitors is scheduled to appear in town between two and seven days in the future. The five visitors are Gracie, Katrina, Redd, Saharah, and Wendell. The town's Field Rank changes the frequency at which these visitors come to town: at the lowest rank, one visitor comes every two to seven days, and the range decreases by one day for each rank, until a visitor is guaranteed every two days at the highest two ranks. When spoken to, Copper tells the player who the next visitor will be and when they will arrive.

K.K. Slider and Joan are guaranteed to appear every Saturday night and Sunday morning, respectively. Gulliver is also guaranteed to appear on one random weekday each week.

Wisp, Tortimer, and Blanca, who were all introduced in Doubutsu no Mori+, can appear any day of the week and only show up once certain conditions have been met.

Wandering in a random acre 12 AM – 4 AM 2–4 days have passed since the town reached a total of 8 weeds.

In New Horizons[edit]

For a list of all special characters in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, see Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Characters.

Once the island is established, there can be one special visitor on the island each day (other than Celeste and Wisp, one or both of whom can appear any night). Certain visitors will set up a booth in the Resident Services Plaza while most others will wander throughout the island during their visit. Only Daisy Mae and K.K. Slider are (usually) guaranteed a specific day each week, Sunday and Saturday respectively. Several visitors are not guaranteed to appear every week, but those who don't visit one week will have priority for the following week. A week's schedule is determined at the beginning of the week. Before the 1.3.0 update, Kicks, Saharah, and Leif had guaranteed appearances each week, while K.K. Slider performed on Friday if there was an event scheduled for Saturday.

There may be exceptions to these criteria if there are special events during the week, which may include a character visiting multiple times. For example, C.J. could potentially appear as a weekday visitor as well as the host of the Fishing Tourney if scheduled for that Saturday. K.K. will also typically make an extra visit for a player's birthday if it doesn't coincide with his regular weekly visit.
