•The Official COPPER CREEK VILLAS & CABINS Owners & Lovers Group•

I was trying to book a studio for marathon week 2021 and they were gone instantly at 8 AM. January 5th is also gone. Is this normal for marathon week? I never travel in January due to my wife’s work but was planning on running with my sister. Is this also typical of other race weekends?

Copper Creek studios are generally the quickest studios to go on property (leaving aside certain views and categories elsewhere) with big problems created by low numbers of studios and many more points being absorbed into cabins, proportionate to studios, than you have at Poly. This means at peak times they are being walked and there are many disappointed owners.

I am aware of the studio availability of CCV but I’ve been able to get studios for any dates I’ve wanted thus far. I booked a studio for January 7th to 9th and will stalk to get the 5th and 6th. I may just cancel and get a cash room since I’ll be splitting it with my mom and sister.

If you happen to get any updates/photos on the Reflections resort construction, that would be cool, particularly if you have an upper room on the bolder ridge side.

We haven’t been over there yet, but I will take a boat over soon and see the progress. From WL, the cranes are maybe a little more visible than in September but you can’t see any structure yet.


There will be more pics to come later in the week.

This has me nervous lol We only book studios.

This is why I purchased a studio fixed week (49).

You still can’t see much Reflections Construction from WL, other than some cranes they are using for placing pilings. From the boat and Fort Wilderness I could see some more. The FW beach is now part of the construction area.

Thank you. It does say a little about the construction though. Usually they pile dirt like that to let the land compact some. Pilings as well indicate them doing the proper steps to avoid soft ground. So to a certain extent, it's a waiting game similar to what they did with the star wars hotel being built.

Has anyone stayed in the "alternate" 2 br lockoff ? If so, did you request the room via touring plans? I booked 2br lockoff with hopes of getting one them. I know there are only a few but I would appreciate any advice on how to make my request.

We are staying in the Deluxe suite right before our Copper Creek stay and we would love the layout of the alternate studio/1br.

thanks !

You booked a "2 Bedroom Lock-Off Villa" not a "2 Bedroom Lock-Off Villa with Walk-in Shower" correct? Only the former will get you an alternate layout for the studio portion. With that being said there are 8 - "2 Bedroom Lock-Off Villa"; 2 on the first floor and 1 on each floor 2-7. Of those 8, 7 are the alternate layout so the odds of getting one are high (the only non alternate layout is on the 1st floor).

The best way to make room requests for DVC is if you are an owners directly through MS, if you rented DVC points ask the owner submit the request, and finally if you paid cash through Disney it is recommended to call GS to make the request. The only request I would make is high floor as that guarantees the alternate layout if it is granted.

I had 7115/7117 as a 2 bedroom lock-off in June, my room request for that trip was upper floor, view of Copper Creek Springs pool.

We went on a fireworks cruise back in June. I only took one picture, but here was the construction at that time...

these fixed week studios are all sold out right?

 

[Philsfan77]

Unfortunately yes

 

[mrsap]

Unfortunately yes

Do you have a fixed week?

 

[Philsfan77]

Unfortunately yes

I should rephrase this...my understanding from other posts throughout the boards is that the guaranteed weeks are sold out...might be worth it to check with your guide though to confirm.

 

[Philsfan77]

Do you have a fixed week?

no...we don't typically book studio's so it didn't seem necessary to get one...if I was primarily booking studios I would definitely try to buy one for December so I'd know if I wanted to go in December I'd be locked in.

I see. It’s great if you knew you’d go the same time every year, but in our case, (even though we go the same time), the week itself varies. It’s nice to have the convenience of your trip being automatically booked, though.

I know people who have purchased the fixed week but have yet to use it. It is flexible, you can convert to points even after your week is booked. It was a small upcharge. So far we have used our December week (49) . We are finding this to be a great week. But great to convert to go at other times of the year.

Too cold for my blood. I went in January with a couple friends and nearly froze. Give me 95 and humid any day.
