BOULDER RIDGE VILLAS & COPPER CREEK VILLAS & CABINS: Wilderness Lodge DVC Expansion Thread

[dansdad]

Are the hot tubs staying open? We are heading there December 6th for a week and hoping they will be open.

The Hot Tub at the Sliver Springs Pool will remain open.
The Hot Tub at the Hidden Springs Pool is closed.

I received a letter today for my February trip - is there an easy way for me to post the photo of it?

We got exactly the same as your letter, but as an email from the UK Disney Travel Company.

Looking forward to your update…and photos



Please see my reply below. WL-FW has the best jogging, IMHO. It's scenic, partly shaded and you can get a pretty good run in without going in circles.

That's correct that the path along Bay Lake is closed, but the concrete path remains open. While the sandy path is very scenic and serene, they don't spray for bugs over there so it gets VERY buggy, whereas the concrete path is fairly bug-free, but has the occasional woodland varmint


OPEN path starting near the bus stop:

It's actually about that far from WL and then around FW. It's less than half that distance from the start of the paved path to the end of it when you reach the stables at FW. After the path ends, you have to run on some wood chips past the ponies and cross over at the bus stop to the sidewalk and then run around FW.

Oh, the memories of DS doing his XC training on the loop every morning of our 8 day trip... 60-90 min run 10-15 miles/day...in JULY! He said it was a pretty good path.

Thank you, @DVC Mike for posting these here. I'll see what I can fit in POST 1 later today

Thank you, @theww228. Is this pretty much the only "construction" related to the expansion? Hope you're having a great vacation.

Newest update was that they were pumping the water out of the pool yesterday.

I remember when you stayed CL and you mentioned that he would have to run long distances everyday. Is he still running XC in college?

Not sure if posted on this thread already, but the WL now has bus monitors.

You can find pictures of the sign and new construction pics on our Facebook site.

The pool removal is the only construction going on and there was no work over the weekend.

Signs that tell you when the next bus is expected. They were there in mid-October when we were staying there, but they're not all that accurate, IMO.

What we found is that they never come sooner than the posted time. The arrival time would keep bumping out when a bus was running late, but they were 5-8 minutes late at worst.
