•The Official COPPER CREEK VILLAS & CABINS Owners & Lovers Group•

Hey guys! So another board I visit (cannot link), is reporting CCV is going to rise to $210 pp by June 1st! Has anyone else heard this?! That’s crazy!
 


WOW!!!! Should we assume Riveria will be in that ballpark?!
This is the sold-out price, I'm pretty sure, putting it inline with the other new MK resorts. If you read the email they heavily imply that it is the price that it is going to once sold out ("...add on, before it sells out", "projected to...on June 1, 2019"). Also June is the estimated sell-out date considering they are at >85% sold out.

I didn’t get the email. Can you share with us?
 


It’s my understanding the dormers are on 7th floor and the 6th floor in sections without a seventh floor above them.
I believe you are correct. We stayed in 7112 and it was dormer-style. Not a big deal since we weren't out on our balcony that much. Unlike the 5th floor rooms over at the sister VWL, our room did NOT have a vaulted ceiling.

We just got back from our 4-night stay at CCV and had an enjoyable experience. (Full disclosure: we own at VWL.) The room was nicely appointed, but as I've mentioned before, it lacks much dominant Disney theming. There was a touch or two sprinkled throughout the room. We liked the individual reading lights for each side of the bed--very nice--as was the extra storage room under the bed to stow suitcases. Smart move! The elevators are fast, so we rarely waited more than 30-40 seconds for one. Access to the lobby and Mercantile obviously was excellent. And, perhaps we had good neighbors, but it wasn't noisy in the room at all. TV is huge and swivels a bit, so we enjoyed just listening to the Disney information loop. Everything was clean.

On the down side, it literally took 8-10 minutes every single time we showered to get warm water--we timed it. So, if you wanted a hot shower, you had to turn on the water then putz around, watch TV, go out on your balcony with a drink or coffee, etc., before you could jump in. So much for Disney wanting to be conservation corporation in this case. While the elevators were fine, they had one of the three off the main lobby down for maintenance, and whatever they were doing made the 7th floor elevator entrance smell distinctly like cat pee. I know because I own four cats. Sometimes, it permeated down the hallway. I think this is likely temporary until they finish working on that elevator car/shaft. Finally, though I know many will disagree, we found the lobby to be noisier than in past years, especially between the hours of roughly 4:45 to 9:15 p.m. In the past, WCC has always added some noise, but it was mostly when a server was acting up and having fun. Now, at least for us, we noticed a larger, constant clamor of voices, yells, crying babies, loud conversations, and some laughing, all likely due to the Storybook dining. As the diners have no other place to hang out, they tended to congregate in the lobby awaiting their turn to dine. It's not an issue for many, I suspect, but it was a bit of a downer for us, especially since AP was a special place for us.

Oh, I almost forgot: ALERT! ALERT! The paved bike path to FW is now closed. You can't bike or walk there anymore, and there were no bike rentals available. It's undoubtedly due to the projected construction of the new Reflections resort, and while there is a sign that says the path is being refurbished, chances are it will be closed for the next 2-3 years. There is now no way to get to FW other than boat or bus (or drive, I guess), and if you're a runner or like to take a morning walk, you'll have to run around the main Lodge and cabin areas. To think, three years or so ago, there were two paths to FW and now there are none.

Still, we enjoyed our time there, and the Lodge still offers that wonderful smell, awesome architecture, and generally grand music. If anyone has questions, fire away.
 
It looks like they released more room availability. I wonder if we are now fully declared for DVC inventory?
I haven't seen another declaration yet, but I expect there will be one within a month and that it will be the final one, making the resort fully declared.
 
Hi everyone! I follow this thread but I usually just read and don't post. This is going to sound like a very silly question so I apologize in advance! We stayed at CCV for the first time last month (this was also our first stay at the WL at all). We had a 1 bedroom and we could see the lobby from our door. It was beautiful and we loved being so close to everything. I tried looking at the floor plans link on page 1, but I don't know WL well so it's confusing to me. Where are the rest of the rooms (not by the lobby) actually located? Are there separate buildings, or can you access them from the lobby entrance? Our next stay will be in a studio, so I'm just trying to figure out where is the farthest we could be. Thanks!

All the CCV units are inside the main lodge. So what the map (in the first post) is showing is the south eastern wing of the building (converted WL rooms) the north western wing is what is remaining for the WL. I've attached a map that might help. The 26 cabins are apart of CCV too. The BRV building is an older (though nice) dedicated building of DVC villas, the third DVC at WDW, if I recall correctly.

So in short all CCV units (aside from cabins) are accessed internally from the lobby of the WL (you will not need to go outside). However, there are a few (2 or 3) studios that actually look over the lobby I think perhaps others can answer that more clearly.
 
Thank you! WL is such a huge place, we didn't get to see nearly as much as I would have liked to! I did notice there was a hallway to the left when we got off the elevator, but we went to the right to get to our room. Based off of your explanation I'm guessing that's where the rest of the CCV rooms would be for each floor. Thanks again!

We love the rooms that open to the lobby. The main lodge building is comprised of two wings of rooms that extend towards Bay Lake from the lobby. With the Copper Creek conversion, the Southern Wing became the Copper Creek Villas. The CCV rooms that open to the lobby only exist on the 4th-6th floor, and can either be above the registration desk with balconies that face towards the bus stop or the "Bear Face" rooms that have balconies that face towards Bay Lake. They get their name because when you look at the resort from Bay Lake their windows make up what looks like a bear's face. This location has always been popular, and there are four CCV rooms there now on the South side, a studio (with walk in shower) and 1 Bedroom on the 4th and 5th floor.
We tend to add a room location request to our reservation asking to be "near lobby" so that even if we don't get a room that opens to the lobby we don't have to walk too far down the hallway.
 
We just added on two 50 point contracts here. Have never stayed here. We are BCV owners for many years. We decided to buy two 50 point contract to give to our daughters in a few years when they are older (so one each). I can't wait to stay here, but it looks like it is hard to get in! Is it nice? How does it compare to Wilderness Lodge? Is it a long walk from Copper Creek to the Lodge? Thanks!

They are one in the same. All Copper Creek units exist within the main lodge building (except the lake front cabins). I personally find it to be very nice rooms but it is more in line with my style. As for the resort it is perfect for resort stays because it is away from the MK hustle and bustle but only a short 15 min boat ride away from MK, FW, and Contemporary. With that being said it is great for MK days and the buses, IMO aren't bad either.

Oh my! I did not know they were actually in Wilderness Lodge! We were on the cruise, and just decided we wanted to give our girls small contracts to DVC (but we are holing on to them for awhile, will pass them on one day). Copper Creek was what they were selling. Now I am even more excited! We were afraid we would have a long walk to the bus stop. Thanks!

They gave us all of last years points at signing, so we are thinking of just booking the night before our cruise next March in a Cabin. Will never splurge like that again, but thought it would be fun to see them. I can't wait to tell my husband they are actually inside the lodge! lol

If you do book a cabin those can be a walk (5-10 mins max) to the main building (be sure to ask for close to the lodge if you like, but those tend to be louder, closer to pools), but they have special parking lots close to them and who would want to leave that view anyways.

The first page in this thread has a great map of everything.
