Would you recommend Storybook dining for two adults? Are there separate tables for 2?

I would recommend it for the food, everyone in our party of seven enjoyed the meal, my family enjoyed the appetizers and deserts although I can't vouch for those personally due to my self imposed dietary restrictions. I did see couples seated at tables, but to be honest they might have been the same tables that would seat four, I'm not quite sure. Most importantly my wife got to take a picture with the queen which was actually the only reason I made the reservation, but all in all I wound up enjoying the experience too, except for my wife forcing me to take a picture with Grumpy.

We really enjoyed this meal as well. I wish I could have gotten it for my grand daughter's first WDW trip in December! I was online right at the correct time and couldn't get it!

DH and I enjoyed it as well, although it's a one-and-done for us simply because there's no reason to repeat the experience. We liked the food as well as the character interaction. Unfortunately, I can't remember whether we were at a table for two or for four (we were seated by ourselves in any case) - but I believe that up higher in this thread there are posts from shortly after it opened with photos of tables for two.

I don't usually bother with room requests, we're happy anywhere. However, a horrible experience at a different hotel this week has me thinking (background: people downstairs called and complained even when we just walked across the room - it got so bad the manager actually came up to our room to find out what was going on). I'm still feeling a little twitchy from the encounter, so I'm curious where would you request to stay at CCV if you were wanting to isolate others from noise YOUR crew made? Specifically a one bedroom. I'm looking at the charts on page 1 and it looks like one bedrooms on the ground floor are scarce. The ..106 and ..107 rooms on the other floors look like better candidates. Perhaps I'm over thinking this. I don't recall a lot of noise from neighbors on our last visit and my kids were so disneytired we weren't an issue either. Thoughts?

Also, if I were to call and make this request, would this be a better discussion for Member Services or the front desk?

I can’t comment on room locations, but requests should be submitted to MS. You can Chat or email via the website (include your reservation number), or you can call them.

Just discovering disboards!!Bought at CCV a few weeks ago and we are sooooo excited!!! Trying to learn all that I can about the resort before we go there!!! Do people find it easy to book studios at the 11month mark here? Or is this a tough find.

Welcome! We are recent owners as well, just purchased our tiny contract last October. It is recommended to be online at the 11 month mark if you want to book a studio without too many issues...especially at certain times of the year. Early December and frankly all of December is a very very popular time given the beauty of the resort in all its holiday glory!

 

[Pooh12863]

Welcome and congratulations.

I’ve yet to encounter any trouble booking a studio but I’m a chronic planner and am online right as the window opens. Although my vast experience of only one try at it so far could be an outlier.

Just got back last Monday from our first stay at CCV, first time ever actually stepping foot in Wilderness Lodge and I couldn't be happier with our decision to purchase here. Pictures don't do this place justice.

We got what we wanted for our room request (upper floor, view of Copper Creek Springs pool) and got rooms 7115/7117 as our 2 bedroom lockoff. 7115 is one of the alternate studios, so we couldn't have asked for a more perfect room selection. My only small complaint was no wastebasket in the master bedroom, is that normal? We enjoyed all the restaurants we tried at the lodge, WCC, Storybook Dining and the Roaring Fork. We were going to try Geyser Point on our last night for eats and a glass of wine to cap off the trip but got drenched at MK watching the fireworks in a torrential downpour, so that will have to wait 168 days till our Christmas trip.

Sorry for the sideways pics, I couldn't figure out how to fix it.

As a side note, I was bored waiting for "Up! A Great Bird Adventure" to start so began looking at resale contracts, needless to say I'm now waiting to clear ROFR on a loaded 120 point AKL contract.

Sorry for my delay, I’m still trying to get back to reality! . Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing! I hope you had a great time! Would you be ok with me linking your pictures to Page 1 for room views?

Congrats on the offer on AKL!!! We just submitted an offer (yet again ) for SSR! Disney seems to like our contracts Good luck!!!!

By the way, you should post on the ROFR board! It’s great! You can keep track of the contracts that are passing. On Page 1, click on the link and put in your info, copy the generated string and then paste into the comments! Maybe I’ll see you there! Hope it passes!!

Welcome back, I was beginning to worry about you, I hope you had a great trip and a happy belated birthday to your husband. Of course you can link them to the first page, I was the one saying we had to do a better job as a group populating that list.

We went to ROFR on 7/2 and I got the email that Disney waived on 7/12, I should have the closing documents in 2-3 weeks. I was pretty sure I would pass as I offered above the average price and it was an international contract. I'm happy with the deal as I have 360 points available at closing. Now I have to go back at easter before the bank points expire. First world problems.

Conrats on your offer, wishing you good luck.

and Congrats!! Happy you found us!! If you can please post your string for me, as shown on page 1, I will be happy to list you on the Page 1 owners list! As far as booking at 11 months, I have personally had no issues to date. I have heard others complain, though I am not sure what weeks they are trying to book. Feel free to ask questions here, we love to chat!

Hey!!! Sorry, we take long summer trips!! That’s why we need more points!!

Congrats!!!!!! So happy for you!!!! That was nice and fast!!!!! I didn’t realize you were so far along in the process already!!
Two tries ago, they took 50 DAYS to take ours!!!! Granted, we knew it probably was going to be taken, but they wasted so much time. It was beyond frustrating!!!!! Last one was taken in about 16 days. Now our 4th try....

I placed my offer 0n 6/29, I don't think my direct purchase at CCV went this fast. I was specifically looking for a loaded international contract because I had heard Disney doesn't want to be bothered with international contracts and I need instant gratification so didn't want to wait for a month just to be told no. I probably paid more than I should have but having points available at closing was important to me, so to me it's worth it. I couldn't imagine waiting 50 days.

That’s wonderful, I’m happy it went so fast for you!!! I get you - I’m all about instant gratification and on top of that, I’m very impatient - so having 4 different offers in just about the same about of months has been frustrating. The only thing that’s good that has come out of it, is that with each offer, we went up in points!

If you're on right at 11 months for most dates, you're likely fine. However, there have been reports of difficulty finding all the consecutive days one needs during the holiday season. The moral is the same: be online right at 11-month point and be flexible with dates.

How hard is it to get a Copper Creek cabin at the 7 month window in October? Is it hard at the 11 month mark? We usually vacation for 5 nights in early October close to Columbus Day. Thinking about buying into Riviera but if the 7 month window doesn’t work for cabins, may need to buy CCV instead. Love CCV more but they increased the direct price.

I actually was watching the cabins for that time this year. It was possible to book them at 7 months but they did actually get booked up not too long after and have stayed that way. It's something you'd want to be ready to book at 7 months.

I'd really recommend buying where you want to stay. If you really love CCV more than Riviera then resale is much less expensive than CCV direct. I think having the resort to stay at that you really want to is more important than benefits that they can take away at anytime.
