We own at VGF and CCV and love it. There is just something special about CCV, especially at the holidays. Let us know if you decide to buy into CCV. We wish we had more points there.
 
Someone posted a short video of the current construction on Facebook. Took a screenshot to share…

Thanks for sharing. It's looking more likely that they will have moved over to the Copper Creek section by the time I'm there in November 😩. It's really hard to stay somewhere *not* under refurbishment these days!

Interestingly enough, I found this link when searching for construction updates the other day - they seemed to be under the impression that everything would be wrapped up by the end of this month, which doesn't look to be the case. (Not that I think DFB is the most reliable source of information anyway.)

Also found this tonight (filmed today) - you can see the construction starting around 25:10.
 

Walkways Closed and Windows Covered as Refurbishment Continues at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge


A green barrier blocks a wooden walkway, with a sign indicating that the trail ahead is closed.
Scaffolding that has been standing outside of the main building for the Copper Creek Villas section of the resort has been changing locations throughout our last few updates. However, some areas of the resort are still blocked off to guests.

Several guest rooms that were under refurbishment on our last visit now have curtains over the windows, indicating they may be close to completion.

Scaffolding has also been removed from this section of the exterior of the main building, although green barriers and some equipment still remain standing outside of the covered windows. The sidewalk area has reopened for guest use.

Other areas of refurbishment, which have expanded to the patio at the back of the building, are still underway. Scaffolding and plastic window covers have added to the back area of this smaller lobby space.

Several A-frame signs placed in front of the doors read, “Please Pardon Our Pixie Dust – This Area is Being Refurbished for Your Future Enjoyment.” Compared to our last update, more white scrims have been added to windows and doors.

With a scheduled end of September 2025, only a couple of weeks remain for the planned refurbishment. Crews are hard at work trying to meet that deadline, though we will be interested to see if everything is completed by then.
 
I was searching for construction updates tonight and came across these photos from October 2022. Maybe they actually started the exterior work project on the Copper Creek side? If that's the case, possibly the section they're working on now is the last section? I haven't seen an end date for this project anywhere so just speculating (and hoping, for my sake!)

Fogged Forest Window Decals & More Roof Work at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort


An updated Fort Wilderness Lodge resort hotel sits behind a gated outdoor pool with trees, umbrellas, and nearby walkers.

It was announced in November of 2024, that the Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge would undergo refurbishment from mid-May 2025 to September 2025.

Although scaffolding and crew members are still present near the entrance to this section of the resort, work appears to be wrapping up.

On our recent visit, the crew looked to be focused mainly on the roof. You can see the wood is covered with plastic and painter’s tape to protect the surface.

In our last update, this sidewalk area had reopened for guest use, with green barriers and some equipment placed up against the building. With a small amount of scaffolding remaining, it looks like crew members have temporarily blocked the path again for guest safety.

Inside, the scrim on the windows has been replaced with fogged decals featuring forest trees, leaning into the wilderness theming of the resort. The exterior area is still closed off from guest access.

The new window clings expand across all of the windows, and this section of doors remains closed as well.

The terrace remains closed, with the majority of scaffolding and work left to complete. Several A-frame signs placed in front of the doors read, “Please Pardon Our Pixie Dust – This Area is Being Refurbished for Your Future Enjoyment.”
