Has anyone ever seen people in their plunge pools at the bungalows when you're out on the lake? We stayed at the Polynesian this past fall and would go past the bungalows quite often. We never saw any evidence of life in them. I've read a couple of rumors that sales may start March 9th. We currently have a reservation for the first week in January. We might try to switch over to one of the new rooms but might not. I enjoy the villas building. Although the last time we were there we had a nice view of the trees and we would watch the deer out there. Probably not so much this trip. Same here, when ever I'm near them I always look for people hanging out on their deck, drapes open, TV on, etc. They always look like an abandoned fishing village. If I was paying $2000 to $3000 a day to stay there I wouldn't set foot off of the pier. I'd have my butt plopped down on the deck with music blasting, a tray full of adult beverages, and I'd be doing a Princess Wave to all the unwashed masses crammed onto the ferries!

No wonder they're building DVC units as fast as they can! I went digging around and found a floor plan for the bungalows at the Polynesian Village Resort. They sure look similar to the Copper Creek Cabins, and they show that the front doors house the pool equipment. It looks like these cabins will have a plunge pool too: Polynesian: Copper Creek: TCD Looking at the WL cabin blueprint, can anyone see the entrance to the main bathroom? I'm going to assume it has the same hallway as the Poly.. but the blueprint seems to show no entrance to the bathroom at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shoreline99 137 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Closets. I'd bet the ones off the main hall are for mousekeeping and other sundries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing that guests didn't like the layout of the guest bathroom in the Polynesian Bungalows, so they are trying a different layout here. But it looks like the same concept with the small hallway leading to separate rooms for the shower and toilet. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shoreline99 137 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yep. Separate amenities. And I'll bet that the closet I marked 'linen' is actually a stack washer/dryer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Could one of the doors on the outside be for luggage storage? Or maybe it's a place to store the butler or the nanny when they are off duty! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe it's a place to store the butler or the nanny when they are off duty! I'd expect one door for the pool equipment and one for the hot water heater. I don't see any obvious indoor closet for the furnace so wonder if the third door could be for that or storage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 The DVC News site is reporting that the new Copper Creek stuff at WL will open on July 17: http://dvcnews.com/index.php/resorts/villas-at-wilderness-lodge/news-75774/3678-copper-creek-villas-cabins-to-open-july-17 Here's a photo they posted of the cabin floorplan- they are saying that is a hot tub out back, and there is a way to get into the big bathroom: This is a view of the inside of a cabin. And the closest many of us will ever get to seeing it: And, check this out, they are renaming the big pool and waterfall in the main hotel, the Copper Creek Falls and Springs: TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Oh, and this is good. Another photo from the DVC news site- this is an artists' rendering of the finished resort: They've got a lot of really tall trees to plant if it's going to look like that by July 17th: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Lots of information about Copper Creek Villas and Cabins is now on Disney's official DVC site: https://disneyvacationclub.disney.go.com/destinations/list/florida/copper-creek-villas-and-cabins/ TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Wait a minute....you mean they are renaming "Silver Creek Falls" to Copper Creek Falls?? WTF? Is nothing sacred anymore? We have a lot of pictures of us, my parents, and other family members in front of that Silver Creek Falls sign over the years. INC and I are from the same hometown, and it's name is Silver Creek. So there was a personal connection we felt from the first time we ever visited the WL back in 2001. And now....gone. Here's that first pic, from May 2001. Here's a pic from Thanksgiving 2007 of the kids with my parents. And I have more where those came from. Thanks Disney. I'll file this up there with the cinnamon rolls.

TCD Yeah.....I went back and edited my post to add some pictures. Kind of makes me sad, but this isn't the first time any of us has gotten sad over pics of our kids with things at Disney that don't exist anymore. And it won't be the last. However, for the record, the term Copper Creek is going on the DIT 3.0 scale whenever it comes out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have photos of my family at River Country, with the totem poles in front of the Trading Posts, the Lawnmower Tree, and, the saddest thing of all- Main Street Bakery Cinnamon Rolls. When I first heard the Copper Creek name, I wondered where the new creek would be. Silly me, I thought they'd make some nice new fake creek near the cabins, not steal the Wilderness Lodge's creek and rename it. Outrageous. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
