"Welcome home," Stephanie! I love being able to say hello to a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member and I'm happy to welcome you to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Stephanie,
Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney's Wilderness Lodge is my "home resort" and favorite place to lay my head after a long day at the parks. I love the elegant but rustic decor and the convenience of everything on this property. I hope you love your stay this summer!
While there is
one Disney Vacation Club Resort that does offer
Club Level accommodations, unfortunately that is
not available at Copper Creek Villas & Cabins. You bring up a great question about paying a fee to enjoy those Club Level benefits, but since those rooms are booked "on cash" at
Disney's Wilderness Lodge and not through Disney Vacation Club, that is not an option.
While you aren't going to have access to the Club Level Lounge, one space that my husband and I LOVE at Disney's Wilderness Lodge is
Geyser Point Bar & Grill. Situated near the water, this is a great spot to grab a drink, dinner and relax! I can personally vouch that the
Cheesy Barbecue Brisket is as delicious as the view.
Stephanie, I would also encourage you to check out
Reunion Station while you're there. This dedicated space for Disney Vacation Club Members offers fun and exclusive experiences like
Beverage Tasting and
Cake Decorating. Another perk of staying at Copper Creek Villas & Cabins is the
water transportation. You are a quick water taxi ride away from
Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort to visit
Top of the World Lounge, another Disney Vacation Club Member only experience.
Stephanie, I hope this helps as you are preparing for your July trip. Thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Wishing you a Member stay that is Magical from start to finish. Please come back and see us with any other vacation planning questions you might have,
Lauren
