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

[Anthony Vito]

I totally understand. We have 150 points direct, and only managed a few nights in a cabin by combining points with another family and using double points because we got points for the year we purchased and had already paid cash for the trip that year. We figured it would be a one time bucket list thing, and we enjoyed it but don't see spending the points to do it again soon...

We were considering this for this coming December for a similar reason - the double points. We have 118 points at CCV, but we added a 200-point contract at Rivera last summer when the incentives were really good (paid $160/pt). Since it was right before our October UY, we got the 2019 points and they banked them for us, so we got double there. Then we canceled our Dec 2020 trip, so we've got our full points to use. So we've got all of our 2020 UY points, plus 200 2019 UY points. We're going in May and we weren't going to use too many points, with a trip planned for Nov/Dec that my in-laws were going to come. We were going to surprise them with a split stay between a 2-BR and a Cabin since we figure we'll never have this many points built up again. Well, since they're now vaccinated, they decided to come with us in May instead. So now the May trip is eating up a lot more points than originally planned, besides it not being really worth staying in the cabins unless there are probably 6 of us.

I also wonder about the setup, since our kids are young (7 & 8). We've toured the cabins. With only having the one pull-down in the 2nd bedroom, no matter what one of our kids would have to sleep in the living room since we wouldn't want our parents to sleep on a fold-out. That kind of takes away the attraction of hanging out in the living room/on the patio after the kids have gone to bed. Is it at least still quiet in the living room if there are people sitting on the patio?

Repeating a post I put on the regular Wilderness Lodge forum . . .

Does anyone have a good list of the background music that is more recent? Most of what I've been able to find is at least a few years old and missing songs that I know are in the loop from our trip this past August. I only managed to Shazam about 5 songs during that trip (there were one or two others I tried that it wouldn't identify). In particular, all the lists I've seen are missing the Cliffhanger Theme, which was a frequent play when we were there. I'd like to try to build a playlist, since the YouTube lists seem dated (and have old, static pictures that I don't want on my TV screen for an hour), but I just am not sure about most of what I'm finding.

Copper Creek Increases Sold-Out DVC Pricing

Wow! Do you think resale prices will increase as well?

Wow! Do you think resale prices will increase as well?

I hope not! I would like to eventually add on some more somewhat affordable CCV points down the road or and buy a direct contract at the new DVC at Disneyland when those become available.

New Copper Creek owner here! Booked my first trip for September of this year. Looking for advice from the experts. I was initially able to book three of the five nights that I wanted. i was also able to book the night before and night after separately, creating three reservation numbers for five consecutive nights total in the same room type. I understand I can call member services and have these reservations linked so we shouldnt have to change rooms. Also, we have family staying at the lodge in the original section at the same time. I would like to request a room closer to the lobby. Will making a location request make it more difficult to link the reservation? Or am I overthinking it? Looking at the room location map it appears that the 6th floor has the most one bedrooms. I generally prefer higher floors. Should I request 6th floor or is this too specific?

Congratulations and welcome!

Member services can merge reservations so you won't have to change rooms. If you want to be closer to the lodge side, request "close to lobby elevators". There is also a cut across in the courtyard from the second set of elevators to the lodge side

Keep in mind that if you get 6th floor, rooms with higher numbers (I think over 115) will have the closed off balconies

Owner @ WL for decades, one of our favorite homes

Just for giggles a few weeks ago put CC on as a waitlist for a week’s trip beginning on 4/30...was thrilled to see it came thru on Easter Day!

We are studio people, especially when just he & me on a trip. When looking for the perfect one to request from the roomfinder site, noticed interesting studios that are two rooms.

Wondering if they are same category we have booked. Not HC accessible, i’m Seeing a shower/tub combo in video i saw on youtube. don’t to waste a request for category not booked.

 

[Anthony Vito]

The alternate studios are w/ a tub, not the walk-in showers. We bought into DVC at Copper Creek 2 years ago and purchased a Guaranteed Week studio. We had to choose between shower/tub and walk-in shower at that time since we were getting the Guaranteed Week. We'd prefer the walk-in, but we chose to buy the shower/tub just so we'd have the ability to request the "Alternate Studio" configuration on the chance we'd get it once in a while since it looks like it'd almost be a suite.

That being said, maybe it doesn't hurt to request it anyway? Maybe if they've got some cash reservation studios (which I don't think specify between shower types), they might just move you to that type instead. Might be worth a shot.

p.s. We're checking in the same day!

For cash reservations to the public, CCV studios are separated into "Deluxe Studio" [which have a tub] or "Deluxe Studio with Walk In Shower" for booking purposes.

Oops . . . well never mind then.

Ok then, sounds like we have a chance at it!

Is it at least still quiet in the living room if there are people sitting on the patio?

The doors/windows to the patio do a really good job cutting down the noise. However, it is really nice to use the room. Have you considered bringing an inflatable mattress for one child? They have child size mattresses that would be easy to pack. It would be more comfortable than a pullout too.

I love the cabins. You'll have a great time, regardless. We stay in them with just our family of four. It is totally worth it!

Hello, we're not owners (yet), but we love Wilderness Lodge. It's been on our bucket list to stay ever since it was built, but we visit quite often on vacation for dining (Artists Point, then Storybook Dining). I had reserved a nature fireworks view on the lodge side for our 34th anniversary in Nov (the only room available for our dates) but when a 1 bedroom Copper Creek came up I changed to that. It was only a little bit more money. Since we're very interested into buying DVC I figured that was a good move. I have a question, we love to sit on balconies and watch the world go by, so I know not to request 7th floor, and most of 6th floor, but what have your favorite room views been? We're more interested in the courtyard side. Thank you for your thoughts
