The Copper Creek Villas and Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is a deluxe villa resort and Disney vacation club property. Located in the Magic Kingdom area, this resort is close to the parks but takes you away to the national park lodges of the early 20th century.

Resort Overview

Copper Creek Villas and Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge opened in 2017. There are 184 villas and 26 waterfront cabins, known as Cascade Cabins. The resort is located on the shores of Bay Lake and is designed after the national park lodges and the details are quite amazing. From the woodwork and totem poles to the landscaping with evergreens, the design is meticulous. The villas are each equipped with modern amenities and decor, a full kitchen in those with 1 bedroom or more, and spacious bathrooms.

Reasons We Love This Resort:

In addition to the great dining options at the resort, there are even more choices nearby, at the parks and the other Magic Kingdom area resorts. Enjoy the nighttime views of the Electrical Water Pageant on Bay Lake and even a glimpse of the Magic Kingdom fireworks show.
