I am confused by those photos of a dedicated 2BR. My understanding, and from looking at the floorpans, is that it has 2 Q beds, not a bed and a pull out couch. That photo looks like a pull out?

We will be in a dedicated 2 BR in 3 weeks, and hoped for the 2 beds in that room. We are BCV owners.... who never seem to stay at BCV, lol. Dates, Oct 15, 16, 17 in CC 1BR. Oct 18, 19, 20, 21 in a 2 dedicated BR (additional family joining us).

Nice thread, we love WL, BR, and wanted to try CC. Got lucky and was able to book for this Oct 2017 on 1st day of bookings.

It might be pictures of the 2 bedroom lock-off not a 2 bedroom dedicated. In the lock-off is a queen and a couch and in the dedicated is 2 queens. The floor plans on the DVC website show the different configurations.

That is correct. There is also a grilling area roughly across from 8006 that has a covered seating area, as well. Further, at that spot, there is a walkway that will take you to the north wing of the Lodge. There is a second grilling area, smaller and with only one uncovered table, somewhere around 8016-18, so on the side closer to FW. The walk back to the main Lodge from the farthest out cabins is quite a haul. If you've ever walked down the paved path to FW, you'd notice off to the left across the parallel service road a gated-arm across an entrance to the dumpster area. The last few cabins closest to FW are past that point. I walked down to 8026 and back a couple of times, and it's pushing 300 yards. Still, the cabins are beautiful, I must say.

I do have a question for you, alison. How did the new landscaping do during Irma? I've read a couple of comments where people were concerned that they might not fare well since the flora hadn't been planted long.

About the grilling, I think there is a larger one by 8023-ish, where the parking lot and b-ball court is. It was under a shelter.

As for the landscaping - I don't know what it looked like before but I didn't see anything that struck me as - oo, that's bad. There were some tree limbs down but the flora looked fine to me. The building next to the main pool was closed for construction but I was not sure whether that was from the hurricane or a planned renovation.

Do you think you can see the monorail from that farthest (north) cabin? Also, did boat noise disturb you last night? Thanks!

It is a tough call. We don't know what we would request either. I think I would lean toward a south side Cabin to be closer to Geyser Point, the pool and buses, and also to have the sunrise view of Bay Lake. On the North side you'd face more towards the fireworks at MK, but I expect that trees would block some or most of them. I was glad to hear that @alisonslp could see them from the South side.
Like any room request, it is a balance of conflicting goals. 8026 would be the quietest, but the farthest from everything. 8012 would probably be the loudest, but closest to the transportation dock. 8013 is very near Geyser Point, but used for DVC tours. On the North Side I'd probably like one in about the middle, although 8001 might have a less obstructed view towards MK to make it worth the extra walk. On the South side I'd probably prefer as low a number as possible. Overall though we'd be so excited to stay in one that we'd be thrilled wherever we wound up.

Thank you. We do love the EWP. I think we finally are closing in on our request!! (Just a request )

Son slept in the living room (8021/2? can't remember now!) and he said he heard the horns but weren't horrible. In the master, I heard them very lightly and they did not disturb me at all. From this point, we had a great view of the EWP. FW was closed so they stopped in our area and then it stopped. I believe on regular schedule, it goes over to FW as well, so you may get two presentations.

I personally would pick the higher number cabins if we went again. We really liked that location. I expected the walk to be really long but honestly, it was less than a 5 minute walk to the pool and Geyser Point. After a long day in the park, that might not be a welcome walk but if you are hanging around the resort, it's a nice comfortable walk. It just looks a lot longer on the map.

I am confused by those photos of a dedicated 2BR. My understanding, and from looking at the floorpans, is that it has 2 Q beds, not a bed and a pull out couch. That photo looks like a pull out?

Our interpretation of the pictures is that there are two Queen beds in the room that has the sliding door connecting it to the restroom. The couch that is shown is in the common living room that is between the two bedrooms.

Have a great trip, we're looking forward to hearing about it.

The 2bdrm dedicated has 2 beds. My pic was not a good one for showing the room. I had just posted that pic for another poster who wanted to see the layout of the bath to the bdrm.

The picture showing the pullout is of the living area. You can see the end of the kitchen on the left (may be dishwasher?) And the end of the dining table on the right. The picture with the sliding mirrored doors is in the second bedroom but is only showing one of the 2 queen beds.

I just noticed this on the first page under the owners list. We purchased in March 2017 but it was filed with Orange County in April.

Sorry about that! Just fixed

From this cabin, you are able to see roughly 50% of the MK fireworks. That was a real treat! You can pump the music into the screened patio too. And the water pageant is easily seen as well. Of course, I got myself all ready to enjoy the hot tub while watching the fireworks, only to find out the heater wasn't working... :-( A call to the front desk (which we all know is not the front desk) and they said "well, it is more of a soaking tub and isn't meant to get to hot tub temps" - um, no... But then the service crew arrived about 20 minutes later to try to fix it. Still working on it now. Hopefully they will get it fixed soon so I can enjoy it b/c we are here only one night. But no worries. I am still very pleased with the place.

Did they ever get your hot tub working so you could enjoy it? We're spending two nights in a cabin in January and assumed it was a hot tub, not a plunge pool. Lukewarm water in January won't cut it, haha.

I'd love to hear any more details on the cabins. I've yet to read about anyone else staying there. Also, what are the sizes of the beds? I assume a king in the master? Thx!

The DVC News has an article with some photos of a Cascade Cabin. http://dvcnews.com/index.php/resort...odge/news-75774/3900-cascade-cabin-photo-tour And the Master bedroom has a king bed and the second bedroom a queen bed, and a murphy bed. In the living room there is a queen pull out couch and a pull out chair. Sleeps 8.

Thanks for the explanation of the dedicated 2BR. Honestly, we would do fine with either configuration, we are just lazy lol. We have to switch rooms 1/2 thru the trip, but that's ok. So excited!

Hello all!

Add us to the list of people finally coming home!!! We purchased 9/12, our UY is April and our first stay is scheduled for May 2018 (Copper Creek, of course).

I may/may not have cried a little when our Guide said his first "Welcome Home". Owning DVC has been a dteam of mine since I was 15 years old. My parents bought theirs then and I promised teenage me that one day I would own one too. Twenty years later, here I am! I can't even begin to tell you how happy I was the first time I was able to login to the website and see all the information with my own eyes! Up until then the website felt like this super secret and exclusive group that I was being kept away from!!! I felt like I had just joined the CIA that first time login in!!!!

I am just so happy... You have no idea!

Congrats MrsRoyale! Welcome home!

I'm also April UY with first CCV visit next May. Perhaps we'll see you there.

Hopefully! We'll be there checking in on May 12 and checking out May 28. This is a dream come true vacation for us! We have been there several times but will be my son's first. We haven't been there since our honeymoon in 2010!

We'll just miss you then, as we're leaving on May 11th.

That's an awesome dream vacation! Plenty of time to do what you want and also have time to relax.

Hi all. We are considering purchasing CCV. I thought that I remembered that this building was originally the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge and opened somewhere around 2001. Did they renovate the entire building and change the name or did they just change the name? Also, can someone tell me what the annual dues are for CCV? Thanks.

No, the Villas at Wilderness Lodge building is still there, and those of us who own there, will still keep VWL as its name as we speak among ourselves! However, DVC, changed its name to Boulder Ridge.

The new DVC resort, CC, is made up of converted Wilderness Lodge rooms, and Cabins. It has its own end date.

 

[PoohBuddy]

Thanks for the clarification. Now that I look at the floor plans on page one they make more sense! Are both of the buildings on the right side wing of the main lodge part of CCV or only one of the buildings?

 

[PoohBuddy]

Also, does anyone know what they are charging for the points? We did the DVC presentation and they gave us all the information on the Poly but didn't really mention CCV.

My wife and I both smiled when we read this--it's a very nice story. There is something about having your own name on the contract to be sure. And, welcome home!

Also, does anyone know what they are charging for the points? We did the DVC presentation and they gave us all the information on the Poly but didn't really mention CCV.

I believe the points are in the neighborhood of $175 per point, though there may be some deals going on now of which I'm unaware. As for your question about the "buildings," the attached right wing of the main Lodge, as delineated in the floor plans on page one, is part of the new Copper Creek resort. Also part of that resort are the cabins which exist both on the north side of the main Lodge and the south side--there are 26 cabins total. The separate building south of the main Lodge is VWL (as bobbiwoz pointed out, they've changed the name to Boulder Ridge Villas--BRV--but we'll always call it VWL). They are two different resorts.

Thanks for the info slppeydog25. Do you know what the annual dues are?
