I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer for. I've searched the boards and the internet to no avail. I'm confident you guys can help me.
I'm looking into a stay at the Copper Creek Villas, dedicated 2 bedroom. I will have 8 adults total, with 2 utilizing the fold out sofa. My question lies with in the master bathroom configeration and to a lesser extent the washer/dryer.

There are floor plans for the villas on page 1, post #7 of this thread.

The bathroom for the master bedroom is divided with the big soaker tub and sink in the portion closest to the master bedroom. There are doors separating this tub section from the portion which has the toilet and shower. All four adults will be sharing the toilet, so they just have to close doors for privacy.

Thank you for the reply. I feel silly. I mistakenly added the same video twice insted of two different ones showcasing the differences. I'll try again.
Just as a note I did look at the layouts of the villas on page 1. The layout in the video I originally posted is shown however the layout for the missing video, which I'm adding now is not. Sorry for the confusion, I wasn't paying attention when I originally added the links.

For the record it was a Lyft driver. I know because I was in the car on my to Studios, when the driver decided to make an unconventional left turn.

Hey guys! Does anyone know the hours for the Boulder ridge pool and the copper Creek pool currently?

Also... it's no problem to visit other resorts during the day... no MB checks... just the usual security & Covid precautions. We got Dole Whips at the Poly.
. . .

Did you take WDW transportation back and forth from MK to get to Poly, or did you drive over? I wasn't sure that they were allowing anyone to drive there without a dining reservation. We'd consider doing the quick drive over from WL, and this will be our first time staying at WDW with a car, but I know that was being restricted at initial reopening.

Has anyone been to/seen Whispering Canyon at breakfast time? How busy is it? Personally my comfort level is outdoor dining or very uncrowded indoor dining, 6ft distance isn't enough for me to eat inside.

We're going in 2 weeks, and I'm not sure how much indoor dining, if any, that we will do, but I too am curious about Whispering Canyon since normally it's pretty open and open to the big lobby, so I feel like it's similar to outdoor dining in that sense, maybe.

We stayed a couple of weeks ago at CCV, and WC was reservation only and unfortunately for us they had no available reservations while we were there. One thing we noticed but we're unsure as to why...they had black cloth walls up around the restaurant. You couldn't see in from the lobby as the cloth walls blocked everything. We wound up eating at the pool bar 2 nights, which is very good. As far as BC vs CCV, for us having stayed at both, we say CCV. The villas are beautiful,we'll thought out and plenty of storage.

The cloth walls are worrisome to me if that's still the case - the whole reason we're considering Whispering Canyon is it being open to the big lobby, which I feel would greatly help with ventilation and be a little closer to an outdoor situation. If that's still the case, I think this might nix it for us.

We're there in two weeks, and I keep hoping Geyser Point will bring back the fried chicken sandwich with chili aioli - that was our favorite sandwich, maybe on property, when we stayed there a couple years ago. So disappointing that's been taken off - I keep hoping they start to expand the menus closer to what they were . . .

It’s weird. They just showed up one day while we were there, no idea why. We had eaten in WCC a few days before and it was open as normal.

oh and we drove to Poly a few times during our trip without issues. Edited to add, never mind I see you were saying without a reservation. Yes they checked to see if we had a reservation before letting us in at Poly.

Thanks for the added info - heading over to get some Dole Whip and Capt. Cook's would be nice, but we don't want to have to do boat --> MK --> monorail -->Poly to do it. Having the car this time would have made it convenient, but it's understandable why that's restricted.

Pool was 7-11 when we were there s couple of weeks ago

Happy to hear Geyser Point is open! Has anyone been there til closing time? We used to finish out our nights chatting with the bartenders and enjoying the water and atmosphere. I know now will look a bit different but if it's still an option, I think we're game!

We are timidly contemplating grabbing a room in BRV or CCV in September because of the AP discount. Still on the fence, but I hope we can get a relaxing few days out of it.

We just used the resort monorail.... the used a lot of partitions and social distancing.

I believe main pool is 9am-9pm.

How have the buses been to the parks so far from WL? Specifically concerned about getting to DHS on time to get the 10am BG. We won't have a car and prefer not to use Lyft/Uber because we have children that still use car seats.

 

[sara_s]

Bit the bullet and booked a getaway at CCV for 8/30 - 9/3! I'm not even sure how I feel: excited, curious, a little worried....all of it. I know full well 2020 could throw anything our way between now and then, but happy to be back at the lodge!

I ate there last night. I thought they did a good job spreading out the tables pretty far. They did a silly birthday conga like with 3 guests and they all had masks on for that, too.

I don't know what anyone else's comfort level is so I can't really render a judgment in what is and isn't acceptable. However, you can easily see the setup from the lobby and checkin area so if you weren't comfortable with it, you could simply cancel the reservation and go outside to geyser point. You can always cancel a reservation at the podium at any time if you simply ask.
