No and the last I heard the boat between the 2 resorts is not running either.
The boat isn't running, but there is a bus that goes back and forth between the lodge and the campground.

Thank you.The boat isn't running, but there is a bus that goes back and forth between the lodge and the campground.
Thank you!Ok I found some picturesthe electric parade and large contemporary building are from the cabin that was almost the last one on the right of the above map. The more narrow view was a cabin from left side of map.
This sounds like an amazing trip!It’s now August! Which is making it feel really real that our vacation is coming up (though still 29 days away). We’re taking our godson and his parents (who of course are dear friends of ours, but let’s be honest, it’s to spoil our godson!), and we’re giving them the Royal treatment, lol. We’re heading down 3 days early with our oldest for some family time, staying 2 nights in a CCV Cabin. Then 2 nights CCV Grand Villa with our friends and godson, and then 3 nights AKV Jambo Grand Villa to end the trip with them. So excited!!
Having never stayed at CCV Cabins or Grand Villas, any advice or recommendations?? I’m not sure when we might splurge on such high point cost rooms again, so definitely want to make the most of them!!
You can see fireworks from the CCV GVs?This sounds like an amazing trip!
One thing we have enjoyed relative to the cabins is sitting outside and watching the fireworks with the music that is synchronized in the patio/hot tub area. Planning ahead, you could potentially enjoy some ice cream or dessert out on the patio picnic table while you watch the fireworks or lounge in the hot tub!
One other hit for our family was taking along the Apple TV and having a movie night in the large living space of the cabin with pizza and snacks. It was a nice way to chill after an otherwise long day at the parks.
Others may have to answer this question relative to the grand villas, but you can definitely see fireworks from a number of the cabins depending on their orientation. I have not yet stayed in a grand Villa at CCV, but I am scheduled to do so in March and can report back relative to fireworks after that.You can see fireworks from the CCV GVs?
We have a 4 night stay for May 2023. Please say it's so and my wife/family will be SOOOOO happy! We requested the highest floor possible.
I requested 5th floor in the hopes that we’d be able to see some of the fireworks. I was absolutely surprised and delighted in February when we could see some of the fireworks from our balcony in a 2BR at BRV.You can see fireworks from the CCV GVs?

You can clearly see them from the area on the Bay Lake side of Geyser Point Bar & Grill. The Enchantment music is piped in, too.You can see fireworks from the CCV GVs?
I believe the boats begin running one hour before park open.Can someone remind me what time the boats start running to MK in the morning?
They are not far from each other at the closest point, but depending on the room you could be pretty far from BR in CC. This means you may or may not hear much but that also depends how much noise they are making at the time of your visit and where they are working within the BR building.Hi all, super excited to stay for the first time at Copper Creek in October!
Just curious how far apart CC and BR are? I believe they are separate buildings, but would we be likely to hear the BR refurb / construction noises if we are at CC? (I’m anticipating a ground level room as we booked a deluxe studio, not walk in shower, but I could be way off the mark… )
Copper Creek is in the main lodge building (with the exception of the cabins) as the villas are comprised of converted hotel rooms. Boulder Ridge is in a separate building connected to the lodge by a covered walkway. While CCV is on the side of the lodge closest to BRV, they are still a good 100 to maybe 250 feet apart depending on where you measure it. Here you can see the relationship. So far, it looks like they aren't doing any exterior renovations (unlike VGF).Hi all, super excited to stay for the first time at Copper Creek in October!

If you want to minimize the impact, you could request a higher room number (on first floor, 1130 is closest to BR and 1168 is the other end of the hall) and/or an odd-numbered room so you face away from BR. The higher the room number, the farther from the lobby, but we just stayed in 1160 last week and it was very convenient to the main pool and Geyser Point for food and the beverage refill station.
