We have our first stay at Copper Creek coming up in August. Any suggestions on room requests?

Honestly, I just love being at CCV so any room is fine with me. I never request and just enjoy the mystery location when I find out. This past Dec was the best though. We had 5103 and walked right out to this amazing view of the best DVC lobby at Christmas!

I had this room for marathon weekend. I absolutely loved the location.

Slept like a baby. I didn’t hear a thing. It’s high enough up that noise wasn’t an issue.

I was at CCV this past weekend actually. Saturday evening I was in the lobby around midnight and staff was vacuuming (or steam cleaning) the Whispering Canyon Cafe floor. I was sitting on the 5th floor by the fireplace. The vacuum was very very loud - but I wasn't behind a door. so it made me wonder what it's really like to be staying in the rooms by the lobby.

on another note - there were many maintenance issues in our room. please please make sure to let staff know if there is something wrong in your room!

Here's a partial list:
no power to tub
water to room (both showers and tub) was only tepid
door handle to one of the rooms was on incorrectly (you had to pull up to open it instead of down)
microwave gave error
water control in queen bedroom shower was falling off
bathroom lock not working

needless to say I was super annoyed and disappointed to have to request maintenance to the room basically every day of our stay. Really took magic away...

Ugh, no!! This is my biggest gripe with CCV. I really wish they’d fix this issue I need hot water for my showers!

yep. I had one manager tell me they couldn't pipe in hot water because there were children in the hotel....

then another manager have it fixed so that we were getting good hot water in all the shower/bath taps.

Sheesh, well I’m glad to hear it can be fixed! Next time we’re at CCV will be for the beginning of Marathon Weekend, and I’ll know to head straight for the manager if I don’t have hot water!

On our stay last month we lost all hot water to our villa one evening. Called maintenance and came to room. They said that because of the configuration of the shower handles with the rainheads to regular shower, that some guests were just turning those handle and not turning off the water and leaving the shower. Said this happens often and they have to go check the villas above and below. they found one with water in shower running with no one in room. when they turned it off , we got hot water back. They said the plumbing design at CCV causes this.

cant figure out how to make a two bedroom work for privacy etc., with a mom and dad, their two teenage boys, and Grandma and Grandpa. How would it work?

Would a two bedroom lock off be wiser?

Thanks so much.

Your only option for total privacy would be 2 teens share a sleeper sofa or Grandma and Grandpa share a sleeper sofa. There are 8 2BR lock offs with tub and 7 of them are alternate studios which would give Grandma and Grandpa their own bedroom and each teen their own sleeper sofa, unfortunately Grandma and Grandpa‘s room wouldn’t have a door so they wouldn’t have total privacy. And there is always the chance you get the one lock off with tub that doesn’t include the alternate.

Quick question for owners. I’ve been looking at resales for CCV and was wondering how difficult is it to get a 1 bedroom around Christmas IE: week 51 or 52, 11 months out. We only travel to Disney around Christmas time.

It’s possible, even probable if you don’t wait. 1 bedrooms typically last a few days to a week before you start spotting dates that are fully booked. I never recommend walking a 1 bedroom at CCV.

Try and get a fixed week direct if they are available.

Wanted to give you guys a heads up, if you have a trip booked, there is a Wilderness Lodge MagicBand you can order for pre-arrival!

Has anyone been able to preorder this recently? Or seen this in the shops at Wilderness Lodge? We booked our stay a couple of months ago, but have not seen it in the order page.

I post the new Pre-Arrival MagicBands daily over on the Shopping Thread (when they are available), and unfortunately, the WL band has not been on. If it comes back on, I’ll be sure to post it on the above mentioned thread!

 

[MonaMN]

Still sad that I lost my WL MagicBand after only a few hours of wearing it at MK.
