Copper Creek or Beach Club

[LPnerd]

So, I have a question that is highly subjective. We have an upcoming November split stay, 3 nights in a 1BDR at Copper Creek before moving to our home resort (Poly) for 3 nights. For us, even with the absence of larger room options (the bungalows are not an option for us ), nothing matches the Poly. However, my DH loves Wilderness Lodge. SO, we will return there for the split portion of our stay. However, since the exact 7-month mark I have had a waitlist for Beach Club. (For what it is worth, I do not believe there is a single chance that the waitlist gets filled.). We are not big festival people, so that is not the draw for us. BUT, this is our first trip back since 2019 and DH is a HUGE Star Wars fan, getting his first chance to see Batuu. The proximity to HS would be a bonus. We have never stayed at Beach Club and wonder would it be worth it to make that change? Would you switch from Copper Creek to Beach Club if you had the chance? I appreciate all opinions. Thanks

In a heartbeat, and I love both resorts, but being around epcot and HS is just nice, and with covid at breakneck pace, you very well might get that waitlist.

Update - work schedules forced a change in our vacation dates. We were originally supposed to be at WDW the first week of November. Now we will be there at the start of March. We (really I mean me) decided to give BC a try since we have previously stayed at WL. Although my DH loves WL he is willing to try a new hotel so I figured why not while we have the chance. Plus, it marks another hotel off the list. (After this trip there will only be 5 Disney hotels we have not tried.).

I was going to chime in, not with which is better,,but with give it a try. Its only 3 nights, and the best part of DVC is being able to try the different resorts. Glad you are trying them out. We own at SSR and love it there,,shh,,but also found out really liking OKW. Enjoy trying new things.

Wilderness lodge is my favorite, but in your case I’d pick Beach Club. You’ll be close to magic when at Poly, so it would make sense to be close to Epcot and Hollywood for this part of your stay. However, in terms of seeing batuu, you Can go and see it from CCV as well. But I’d give beach club a chance to try something new! Two completely different atmospheres
