Copper Creek Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

The Copper Creek Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge are not the ‘cabin’ that I would be used to – there is no camping here, it’s not even glamping. These cabins are luxury.

These two-bedroom waterfront cabins feature a full kitchen, private porch and a hot tub with views of Bay Lake.

The bedrooms are spacious and if you look closely, there is a little reading bench next to the window! Lots of USB charges and outlets in the night stands next to the bed. That makes a huge difference when you need to charge your phone at night for the next day at the parks!

Lots of space at the vanity but I’m not sure I would use the soaker tub if I had a hot tub?

While at Walt Disney World you often think about being at the parks from morning to night, I really like to enjoy my resort. I think I could totally carve out some time to relax and enjoy this cabin. It’s so peaceful and away from the hussle and bussle of the parks, but close enough to the Magic Kingdom that you’re never far from the excitement.

Imagine some great family time hanging out in this living room? The fireplace is a nice touch. The cabins sleep up to 8 adults, and the living space is big enough to acommodate the whole party.

If you wanted to order some groceries for your stay – you could totally be cooking full family meals in the fully equipped kitchen!

There’s even plenty of space for you all to sit down and enjoy your meal. Although we would probably use it for games and stuff…. maybe some take out from Geyser Point. If you haven’t been to Geyser Point – you need to check it out and it’s so conveniently close to the cabins!

Of course the real relaxation comes in the porch, this is where I’d love to sit and just be quiet….

Alright – not at the picnic table, but in the plunge pool!

There is a fence around the pool so if you have little ones, you don’t need to worry.

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is a terrific option for families who want to be near the Magic Kingdom, but not on the monorail line. A quick boat ride from the dock will have you at the Magic Kingdom in no time.

The theming is on point and the views from around the property are breathtaking. Head down to the beach and you can see the fireworks and electrical water pageant at night.

If you don’t want to splurge on the cabin but still need a little more space? The 1 bedrooms are great too! I have a full walkthrough video of the 1 bedroom below.

Disney’s Copper Creek 1 Bedroom Villa

Disney’s Copper Creek 1 bedroom villa was an upgrade I wasn’t expecting. I was staying at Wilderness Lodge for 1 night before transferring to the Beach Club. Since it was just me, I had arranged for a standard view studio for the night.

When I arrived at the resort at 7pm – my studio wasn’t ready. The lovely cast member was doing everything she could to contact someone in mousekeeping to get the room cleaned. I was tired after my flight and I really just wanted to get in to my room, but it wasn’t her fault. I left my luggage with bell services and went shopping in the gift shop for a while, I can’t complain about having time to shop.

About 15 minutes later I was coming out of the shop when she called me over – my room was ready. She winked and said “enjoy” and told me to take the elevators at the end of the lobby to the 7th floor.

When I opened the door to room 7117 I could have fallen over. She had upgraded me to a 1 bedroom villa! This huge room was all mine for the night, and I was over the moon. I couldn’t help but think how great this place would be for families.

Given that Wilderness Lodge is just a boat ride from the Magic Kingdom, it’s always been a great location. If you were going to spend time at the Magic Kingdom, but also wanted to be ‘away’ and not on the monorail line – this resort is perfect. Don’t miss the opportunity to stop by Geyser Point Bar & Grill for some drinks and terrific views. It’s just so relaxing!

If you had planned to eat a few meals in your room, or really just want to spread out – these 1 bedrooms are a home away from home.

Walking in to the room you can see the full kitchen equipped with everything you could need to make a full meal. The dishwasher, full stove and fridge – it was all there.

The living room/dining room were spacious. Enough space for a family to chill after a meal or at the end of a long day. That’s what these units are great for, just hanging out.

There’s a bathroom with a vanity and stand-up shower, but the best part is the second vanity area with a HUGE soaker tub. This tub was deep, if I had been there longer, I may have tried it out.

The bedroom was spacious, plenty of storage space and another TV to watch from bed. The villa has a balcony off of the bedroom, and a second from the living room.

I loved this unit and will recommend it to anyone who is looking to stay near the Magic Kingdom but not on the monorail line. While the studios are great, this is the perfect option if you wanted a little more room. I took a full video tour so you could see everything!

Geyser Point Bar and Grill Review

Geyser Point Bar & Grill at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort is one of my favourite places on Disney property to relax, unwind and have a drink.

This bar has everything you could possibly want for a little escape from the parks and the hustle and bustle. The views are lovely and peaceful – the water is calming and there are both indoor and outdoor seating areas.

Comfy atmosphere and seating to settle in for a bit and chill

The food is delicious! Quinoa is not something I would normally eat… but ya, it’s good!!

The crispy chicken sandwich is amazing – highly recommend!

Chicken sandwich is a big YES PLEASE

Drinks? Oh my… I don’t hide it, I’m usually a beer drinker and I love Bud Light Lime. BUT they have plenty of other fabulous beers and cocktails worth trying.

The Huckleberry Punch is worth trying!

One afternoon we sat here for a couple of hours (yes, we enjoyed ourselves!) and we watched people come and go and try all sorts of different drinks. Yes, for people watching this is a good spot too!

Bar area with TVs

TVs are available over the bar for the times when there’s a sports event you don’t want to miss? I think they had some football game on when we were there, or maybe it was basketball? I’m not sure – I wasn’t really paying attention!

The staff are very welcoming. Happy to suggest a new drink to try, food to eat… or to take a picture of you!

We asked him to take our picture!

It was hilarious – we asked our server if he would mind taking our picture and this is what we got! We were laughing so hard at the total photobomb. He was wonderful, funny, attentive and entertaining. What more could you ask for?

Review: Copper Creek Studio at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort

Staying in a Copper Creek Studio was something I was really looking forward to. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is a fantastic resort with so many great amenities that I needed to check out the studios.

The resort itself is of course, gorgeous. When you walk in to the lobby you are overwhelmed by how beautiful it is. With the big fireplace in the corner, I could sit there for hours and never leave the lobby!

It’s a great place to chill out for a bit in a nice rocking chair!

We made our way to room 4111 by taking the elevators at the end of the lobby. The walk to our room wasn’t long, and the hallways were relatively quiet at all times. I don’t find this lobby to be particularly noisy anyway, but you certainly couldn’t hear any sounds from it in our room,

When you open the door to the studio it seems quite long. There’s a little kitchenette with fridge, toaster and microwave. Having it along the wall made use of the available space nicely.

The room is quite long when you open the door. They have made good use of the space.

The bathroom/vanity were rustic looking and big. I loved the tiles in the bathroom and the vanity area was big enough for 2 women unpacking their toiletries!

The bed was comfortable as was the couch. Having the USB ports in the end tables is always a big plus for us. We need a lot of charging outlets.

They were both comfortable, in fact maybe a little too much!

Our view from our balcony was overlooking the water just outside of the main building, it made for a nice place to sit and relax!

We really enjoyed sitting on our balcony. This was nice and quiet, never many people around in this area.

If I had to pick one thing that we didn’t enjoy about the room, it was hearing our neighbours talking. Totally not their fault, but I think that the hardwood floors allowed the sound to travel between our rooms under the connecting door. Not a huge deal, but I could see this being an irritant to some.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here, but I think a lot of the enjoyment was the resort itself. We made the most of the resort by having dinner with Snow White, having drinks and snacks at Territory Lounge and spending an afternoon at Geyser Point Bar and Grill.

See the video tour below of the studio. Have you stayed in one?
