Boulder Ridge Villas
Originally known as The Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, a Disney Vacation Club timeshare resort on the site was announced in 1998, and the property first accepted guests in November 2000. The Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge are adjacent to Disney's Wilderness Lodge, whose design is based on the National Park lodges of America's western states. The Vacation Club Villas are themed after the antecedent lodgings built by railroad workers in the late 19th century. The main building for the villas has railroad artwork and memorabilia on display, including two train cars from Walt Disney's rideable miniature Carolwood Pacific Railroad. The accommodations include Studio units with a kitchenette, as well as one- and two-bedroom villas with a larger kitchen and living space. In late 2015, Disney began an extensive building project to expand the Villas with waterside units similar to those found over the water at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, as well as recreation and dining facilities.[7]
Copper Creek Villas & Cabins
These cabins opened in Summer 2017 as the second DVC property at the resort, which consists of 26 Cascade Cabins. The Cascade Cabins were built along the shoreline of the resort and the entire South wing of the original resort building, which was converted from regular hotel rooms to 158 DVC units.
