We have been at Copper Creek in a dedicated 2-bedroom (cash stay, military discount) since Tuesday. Having a fabulous time! Thought I would check in with some thoughts while I am relaxing in the villa while the littlest grandchild naps this afternoon.
We have 5 adults and 3 little ones (6, 4, and 1), and this villa is quite perfect for us. We requested an inflatable mattress for my adult daughter, so that she could sleep in our (king) room rather than the sofa bed, and got a brand new Intex with pump from housekeeping. We also got a high chair and pack n play for the littlest, and a bed rail for the 4 year old’s side of the bed.
We put the pack n play in the closet in the 2-bed room, and it works perfectly. You can’t close the actual closet door with it in there, but the sliding barn doors that seal off the bathroom from the room work to make it dark and quiet. Once he’s asleep, it’s okay for the rest of the family to use the bathroom, or they can use ours.
Love the kitchen for breakfasts. We had a grocery order delivered, and have made eggs and bacon, or cereal, or other items each day in just a few minutes.
We are in 6120, which does have the high walls and overhang to the balconies (they don’t connect), but we are fine with that. It’s too hot to sit out there anyway. And the view is great when we do want to pop out for a minute! We could see the Electric Water Pageant from there.
But what we really like about the location of the villa is that we are right beside the “middle” elevators in the building. Down to Level 1, and there is a non-descript door that leads right to the bus stop and the BR pool. Turn the other way from the elevators, and it comes out not far from the main pool, and a short walk from Roaring Fork. I’m glad we found those “shortcuts” early on — typically that’s the kind of thing you find the last day!
We did a scavenger hunt the first evening, thanks to a former cast member on the Ear for Each Other page. Really fun for the whole family, and a great intro to the resort.
Happy to answer any questions or check anything out for anyone. We are here until Tuesday.
