We are very interested in Copper Creek and we always plan our trips over a year out so the 11 month window is perfect for us. Plus I'd like to get in on an entire term of a contract rather than buying in halfway thru like it would be going resale. I just wonder when they may have a model room open to show on the DVC tour. Don't really want to tour the Poly in February when we don't want to buy there.
Yes, if you want full term contract, the wait will likely be worth the wait. . .though a very costly one. As for the tour, we had no interest in PVB, either, but we did want to see how they looked, and we got three FPs each (good on any ride at any time) just for strolling through the bungalow.
I would guess the studios will also have the murphy bed. In the refurbs, they've given them to BCV and BWV. WLV already has them. Poly has them. VGF has them.
I asked about this when we were there in January and they told me that there weren't any plans to rehab the WL rooms at this time. They were lasted rehabbed in 2012.
Thank you for posting the link to the news about the renaming of VWL, @mrsap! Here is also the announcement from the DIS:
I think you'll still find it a very lovely resort despite some minor construction inconveniences. The overall feel of the Lodge/Villas remains mostly intact: the music, the main lobby, the fireplaces, the lanterns, the boats, the restaurants. If you wind up lake side, the view is quite excellent, albeit with major construction going on.
@WDWKOOK first of all thanks for providing this central location for all the news about the new development. I just wanted to let you know that you have the name slightly wrong in the new title: It is CC Villas & Cabins, not the other way around.
I think there is a lot of grumbling about the Bungalows in terms of space. The actual number of physical beds is 2. Plus the pull downs and converting sofa. It is NOT a good fit for groups with more than 4 adults. I would hope that the new Cabins address some of the sleeping arrangement inadequacies form the Bungalow.Thanks. I was wondering if the cabins would be similar to the bungalows or a completely different design. I would guess somewhat different as they aren't over the water. As a family of just 3, a hotel room still appeals to us over a studio. I was hoping to do a big family trip in late 2017 to the WL. Now I wonder if holding off a year and trying to stay DVC would be a better idea. As of right now I figure it will be really popular, so we may just do the 2017 as planned. My sister turns 40 a few years after that, we could return for her bday.
In other news, a friend from high school is a designer/architect for a firm that has done restaurants at WDW and on DCL. He stayed at the WL in early spring, just as ground was breaking. I wonder if he is working on the new restaurant.
Thank you, @Flossbolna for getting the name all straightened out
