Good morning, Arianastarr!
When an account expires all characters will remain active indefinitely, at this time they will not be deleted. If any change to this is made in the future an announcement will be made on our main page (
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/). Please note that mail and any other time restrictive items will expire as normal, despite the account being inactive.
I hope that answers your question and we hope to see you back soon (if you're planning on taking a bit of a vacation). :)
