The top announcement is an old announcement, however, I was posting to show the bottom current notice regarding Whispering Canyon.

Following my post up from the other day, now that the Blogs picked it up:

Whispering Canyon Cafe Closing for Refurbishment in May 2025 at Wilderness Lodge

Walt Disney World has announced that Whispering Canyon Cafe will be closed starting May 12th for a short refurbishment at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge hotel. Here’s the announcement:

From May 12 through May 21, 2025, Whispering Canyon Café will be closed for refurbishment. During this time, Guests can choose from a variety of other dining locations at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, including Territory Lounge, Roaring Fork, Geyser Point Bar & Grill and Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White.

We're staying the week after it opens back up and plan on going. We haven't stayed at CCV in a couple years (been resort hopping) but it feels like longer than that. Excited to finally be back at our real home. We've missed it!

I noticed today that DVC has finally added the room renovation for May through September at CCV to their list when you go to book.

"Beginning August 5, 2024, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Copper Creek Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge will undergo exterior refurbishment work. Additionally, from mid-May 2025 to September 2025, Copper Creek Villas & Cabins will undergo guest room refurbishments. While all resort amenities will remain available, Guests may see and hear construction work during daytime hours.
From May 12 through May 21, Whispering Canyon Café at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge will close for planned maintenance. All other food locations, including the Territory Lounge, Roaring Forks, Geyser Point Bar & Grill, and Story Book Dining at Artist Pointe, will remain open."

We feel the same, have stayed at other places for a few years. Have a fall trip planned and are excited to come home!

We stayed at CCV last October. The geyser was not working and they did not restore the buffalo topiary at the corner of the CCV building across from the quiet pool entrance (I think it went missing in 2021). Any news on those two things? Is the geyser working again? We are coming for our next stay in June this year.

We love WL and have stayed there many times before purchasing DVC. We stayed once at CCV in a 2 BR and liked it too. We are coming in May and staying 4 nights at Poly, then 3 nights in a CCV DS Resort View. Looking on the first page at the room types on each floor, it looks like to have a room on a high floor, we would have needed the DS Walk-in Shower. Is that accurate? We prefer high floors so it is going to be a bummer if we are going to be in a ground level room.

You will still have a chance as all the alternate layout studios on the upper floors are Deluxe Studio category not Deluxe with Shower, but there is only one per floor. Place a request for upper floor and hope for the best! (I've stayed in one before, really liked the space for just the 2 of us but wasn't enamored of the frosted windows in the bedroom area letting so much light in!).

Has anyone been recently and know the best time to catch Electrical Light Pageant on the beach by Geyser Point? We will be there in a week and it is something my SIL really wants to see.

Forgive me if this is covered somewhere and I missed it in my searching - is there an update on the current status of the Wilderness Lodge exterior refurbishment? As far as what sections have been completed so far and what still needs to be done? I've been thinking of switching to Copper Creek when my 7 month window arrives in a few weeks, but I may take it out of the running if there is still going to be extensive refurbishment work going on (been there, done that at VGF!) I noticed there is no end date listed for the exterior work and my google search is telling me the permit went through 2026.

This wasn't even really on my radar, but happened to catch a shot of all of the scaffolding up on one section of the building in a YouTube video (it's at 8:37 if you're interested). I wouldn't want to run the risk of looking at that from my balcony if there's still a lot of the building left to go...but I haven't been following this so for all I know, this could be the last section! Would appreciate any intel anyone has . Right now Copper Creek and Boulder Ridge are both viable options for us, assuming nothing changes in the next few weeks before my 7 month window opens. I know Copper Creek will be finished with the soft goods refurb in September and have the nice new Murphy beds, so that was slightly edging out Boulder Ridge for my top contender.

That video freaked me out a bit! That scaffolding would block all the balconies. We are staying at Copper Creek in two weeks, is there scaffolding on that building?

I haven't been able to find much else online about this so hopefully someone who is staying there now can provide an update. I probably need to watch it again to make sure I have the right placement, but I was thinking it was the hotel side, on the far left if you're looking out at the boat dock. I would imagine they don't have people staying in those rooms at least?

We are at Copper Creek this week. I haven’t noticed construction. The electric light parade comes by at 9:30. In a 3 bedroom GV, it has the duo basket and individual Keurig cup coffee maker even though pre refurb.
