Disney Vacation Club members staying at Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge can look forward to a refreshed experience. The resort is undergoing its first soft-goods refurbishment since opening in 2017, bringing updated furnishings, decor, and a few exciting enhancements to the Deluxe Studio Villas. In this article, we’ll explore the details of these updates and what members can expect during their next stay.
What Is a Soft-Goods Refurbishment?
A soft-goods refurbishment focuses on updating textiles, furniture, and decor without making structural changes to the room layout. At Copper Creek, this includes new bedding, curtains, carpets, and upholstery, as well as minor upgrades to lighting and technology. These updates aim to enhance comfort and aesthetics while maintaining the resort’s rustic charm.
Key Updates to the Deluxe Studio Villas
Introduction of Murphy Beds
One of the most notable changes is the addition of Murphy-style pull-down beds in the Deluxe Studio Villas. These beds replace the traditional sleeper sofas, offering a more comfortable and user-friendly sleeping option. The Murphy beds are housed in a warm wood frame with built-in overhead lighting and themed artwork inspired by Disney’s Brother Bear.
When folded down, the bed reveals a cozy night scene featuring characters from the film.
Updated Curtains and Carpets
The new curtains feature a bold, forest-inspired design with multicolored trees, complementing the Pacific Northwest theme of Wilderness Lodge.
Additionally, a new area rug with earthy tones and patterns ties the room’s decor together, creating a refined yet rustic atmosphere.
Kitchenette Enhancements
While the layout of the kitchenette remains unchanged, it now includes an upgraded Keurig K-Duo Gen 2 coffee maker. This model offers a “Brew Over Ice” feature, perfect for enjoying iced coffee on warm mornings.
The kitchenette continues to provide functional storage, a microwave, and a mini fridge.
Bathroom Refresh
The bathroom has been lightly refreshed with updated finishes, including granite countertops and rustic fixtures. While no major changes were made, the space remains consistent with the resort’s overall theme.
When Will the Refurbishment Be Complete?
The refurbishment of Copper Creek’s Deluxe Studio Villas is expected to be completed by October 2025. Until then, room assignments are subject to availability, and guests may request a refurbished unit, though it cannot be guaranteed. For the best chance of securing an updated room, consider booking stays later in the year.
Conclusion
The soft-goods refurbishment at Copper Creek Villas & Cabins brings thoughtful updates that enhance both comfort and style. From the addition of Murphy beds to the refreshed decor, these changes ensure that the Deluxe Studio Villas continue to provide a welcoming and enjoyable experience for DVC members. Whether you’re planning a stay this year or in the future, these updates are sure to elevate your visit to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
