Anyone hear any timeline for an announcement/sales on the Villas at Wilderness Lodge expansion project?

The names have been confirmed. This also essentially confirms the expectation that it would be a separate resort and not an expansion of the current VWL now renamed Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.

Thanks for the replies. Also thanks for the link, Dean, on the name announcement. I am surprised they renamed the existing VWL.

I agree, the names seem a little complicated and out of place. What'll be most interesting are where the points end up and the villa types.

We were over there looking around about a week ago and it looked like at least four floors of the main lodge closest to VWL were gutted - we could see daylight from the front to the back looking from the main pool area.

Historical timeline. No sales date, however April Polynesian sales indicate 16-month until PVB is sold out (at current rate) or 30-months at average rate. The new resort was announced as part of the press release below:
PRESS RELEASE: Name Announced for New Disney Vacation Club Development at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

Celebration, Fla. (May 19, 2016) – Today, Disney Vacation Club announced the name for its new development currently under construction at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. The proposed 14th Disney Vacation Club Resort will be known as Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.

The rumored name was Copper Creek Cabin and Villas at Wilderness Lodge, which would have implied the new resort was part of the old resort (Villas at Wilderness Lodge). The new names do not overlap, indicating two completely separate resorts:
  • Boulder Creek Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge
  • Copper Creek Villas and Cabins at Disney's Wilderness Lodge

The original press release seemed to indicate they would be different as well as common sense since they would have had to extend the current resort first or at the same time to combine them.
