Disney's Boulder Ridge Villas

Located at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Boulder Ridge Villas and Copper Creek Villas and Cabins can sometimes be a bit confusing to differentiate.

Boulder Ridge originally opened in 2000 as the Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge in a separate lodge building located at the southwest corner of Disney’s main Wilderness Lodge building. In 2016 this building underwent renovations and was renamed Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.

During the same time, a larger renovation and expansion of Wilderness Lodge was underway. This expansion added several amenities to the resort as well as a set of waterfront cabins known as Cascade Cabins. The Cascade Cabins along with 184 DVC villas inside the original Wilderness Lodge building are known as Copper Creek Villas and Cabins.

All guests at Boulder Ridge or Copper Creek are welcome to use the amenities located throughout the Wilderness Lodge Resort.

While we all know Disney does an amazing job theming its hotels and resorts, nowhere will you feel more transported to a far away land as you will here. Boulder Ridge and Copper Creek are two of the most unique DVC Resorts you’ll find in the DVC family or any Disney Resort.

The theme at these resorts is the Pacific Northwest exploration, mining and railroad era of the 1800s. Rustic, woodsy, and calm, you’ll feel thousands of miles away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the Disney World Resort while staying here. If you’re looking for peace, quiet and calm on your vacation, or part of your vacation, these resorts should be at the top of your list.
