Copper Creek is located at Wilderness Lodge, meaning the resort is within walking distance to both Wilderness Lodge and Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. There is much more to explore here compared to your typical Disney resort.
All three resorts share the same dining and transportation options, but unlike many other Disney hotels, Copper Creek takes camping to a whole other level thanks to its Deluxe Studios and 26 waterfront Cabins with wraparound porches.
Copper Creek does cost more, but if you’re looking for a more luxurious stay with accommodations that have a kitchen, washer and dryer, and more, then this might be your best option.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Guest Rooms And Bathrooms
Copper Creek has a variety of room offerings. You can choose from two Deluxe Studios, three types of Villas, or one type of Cabin.
You can even sleep up to 12 people, depending on the type of room you book. There are room layouts below, if you’d like to check them out.
There are, of course, the standard amenities, including a hairdryer, TV, free WiFi, a coffee maker, telephone, in-room safe, and an iron and ironing board. There are also a range of views, including the pool, courtyard, woodlands, Bay Lake, Boulder Ridge, or Wilderness Lodge.
The rooms also have both standard and USB outlets scattered around, with some near the beds and TV stands. Better yet, there is even space underneath the beds for storing luggage and whatever else you need to get out of the way.
What makes Copper Creek rooms so special is that they have more amenities than your average Walt Disney World resort, like toasters, microwaves, full-size kitchens or kitchenettes, and some even have a washer, a dryer, and a dishwasher.

The front desk is located in the lobby of the main building of Wilderness Lodge. Even though the front desk is there to assist guests, especially with checking in and checking out, all Disney World Resort guests are encouraged to check-in online or by using MDE.

- Checking-Out: Currently, guests will automatically be checked out of their rooms. But, if you have unresolved charges to your hotel folio, you’ll need to visit the front desk.
Note: Guests also have the option of to chat virtually with resort Cast Members via MDE for any assistance.
As for the pickup and dropoff location for Mears Connect (which is the replacement for Magical Express) and the bus stop, you can find those near the main lobby of Wilderness Lodge, along with luggage storage for those who have checked out or are waiting to check in.

Dining options at Copper Creek Villas & Cabins
There are several dining options at Copper Creek. Actually, the resort shares dining with Wilderness Lodge. You can choose from both Quick Service and Table Service options, including character dining with Snow White, the Evil Queen, and some of the Seven Dwarfs at Artist Point.
