•The Official COPPER CREEK VILLAS & CABINS Owners & Lovers Group•

I just checked out on Sunday. I had requested a room facing the Boulder Ridge side and my request was honored, so thankfully we didn't have to directly deal with the views or loss of our balcony (although the construction honestly did change the overall "feel" of the resort for us if I'm being honest.) It appeared that people were in those rooms, based on lights being on and some doors with curtains closed, some open, etc. Obviously I don't know that for certain since I wasn't in one, but my assumption was that people were being placed in the rooms. Also there were various reviews on Trip Advisor of people that were placed in the rooms covered with scaffolding on the resort side, so I would think they aren't treating the Copper Creek side any differently.

Thank you for your reply! I had initially requested "main pool" view but called a week or two to update to "away from construction".
I wonder if I should just change that to "Boulder Ridge view" for better results.

I put "SE-facing room (facing Boulder Ridge pool)" when I initially chatted Member Services. I also spoke to a CM once we arrived in the AM to verify that they were able to honor the request. At that point (around 9:30 am) she was already able to confirm for me that we had been assigned a room on that side and which floor it was on (still subject to change, but odds were in our favor.) Good luck and I hope you get a room away from the construction!

I'm a little concerned now about my stay next week! When I made my waitlist to get this booking, I definitely overlooked that CCV was having exterior work done. Hoping for a Boulder Ridge facing room too. It would be disappointing to be in a room where the balcony is covered up by the scaffolding. Excited to be at CCV regardless ...after all, we'll still be at WDW!

If you are able to would head to the front desk prior to getting your room assignment and see if yo can ask for no scaffolding.

I already did the online check in, not sure if that will be a problem! But I emailed asking for a SE facing room/view of Boulder Ridge, so maybe that will help me. If I see my room assignment while we are traveling there, I'll check the room number on touring plans to see where they placed me. I hate to be difficult, but I'll stop by the front desk asking to switch if we're on the scaffolding side.

Yeah unless I need my room asap I think I decided to stop doing online check in. Its worked better for me the times I dont.

Good luck! Either way I hope you enjoy CCV!

thank you!! I agree about online check in. I typically do not do it beforehand, not sure why I did this time. lol. I guess in my excitement about the trip I jumped the gun. It's absolutely on me that I missed the notice about the exterior construction. I set the waitlist not expecting it to come through and didn't pay attention to the warnings in red on the availability page under the resort. My bad. But regardless, still can't wait for our stay at CCV! Lesson learned for my next trip, I suppose - pay attention to all the construction notices for anything waitlisted!
