Copper Creek Room Refurbishment

Hey Disney Vacation Club Members and Wilderness Lodge fans: Walt Disney World has officially announced a four-month refurbishment for the guest rooms at Copper Creek Villas & Cabins in 2025. If you’re planning a trip during this time or just curious about what’s changing, here’s everything you need to know about the Copper Creek room refurbishment project.

The Refurbishment Timeline

From mid-May 2025 to September 2025, Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge will undergo refurbishment. According to Disney, this work will be limited to daytime hours, and all resort amenities will remain available. That means you can still enjoy the stunning pool, dining options, and the unbeatable charm of Wilderness Lodge—but you might notice some refurbishment activity during your stay.

Here’s the official announcement from Disney:

“Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge will undergo refurbishment from mid-May 2025 to September 2025. While all Resort amenities will remain available, you may notice refurbishment work during daytime hours.”

What’s Changing?

Based on the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) refurbishment schedule, this project is expected to be a “refresh” or “soft goods” refurbishment. But what exactly does that mean?

A soft goods refurbishment typically includes updates like:

  • New wall coverings
  • Updated floor and window coverings
  • Refreshed furniture upholstery
  • New linens
  • Minor furnishings updates, such as artwork and in-room light fixtures

Essentially, it’s about keeping the rooms feeling modern and comfortable without a complete overhaul. Think of it as giving the rooms a fresh coat of pixie dust!

The Murphy Bed Upgrade

One potential game-changer with this refurbishment? The addition of Murphy beds. Recent DVC soft good updates have included swapping out traditional pullout queen sofas for sleek, queen-size Murphy beds.

Why is this exciting? Because Murphy beds are:

  • More Comfortable: A real mattress beats a pullout sofa any day.
  • Space-Saving: During the day, these beds fold up into the wall, creating more room to relax and move around.
  • Easier to Use: No wrestling with sofa cushions or struggling to set up the bed.

If Copper Creek follows this trend, it’s a win for families and anyone who values comfort and convenience during their Disney stay.

What to Expect During Your Stay

While Disney assures guests that amenities will remain available, you’ll want to plan for the following:

  • Daytime Work: Refurbishment activities will be limited to daylight hours to minimize disruptions.
  • Fresh New Rooms: Once the project wraps up in September 2025, Copper Creek Villas & Cabins will boast updated and refreshed rooms—just in time for fall visits.

Why This Matters

For Disney Vacation Club Members, staying at Copper Creek is an experience that blends rustic charm with Disney-level luxury. These updates ensure that the accommodations stay fresh and competitive with other DVC properties. Plus, enhancements like Murphy beds can make your vacation even more comfortable and enjoyable.

Final Thoughts

If Copper Creek room refurbishment is on your radar, this announcement should give you confidence in Disney’s commitment to maintaining its world-class standards. Whether you’re planning a trip for summer 2025 or eagerly awaiting the refreshed rooms, there’s plenty to look forward to.

Stay tuned for updates as Disney releases more details— As always, the Wilderness Lodge continues to offer an unforgettable escape from the ordinary, now with an extra sprinkle of magic on the horizon.
