Wilderness Lodge Lobby Patio Closed During Copper Creek Villas Refurbishment

Refurbishment work has expanded on the exterior of the Copper Creek Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.

Wilderness Lodge Refurbishment

Sunlit lobby with large glass doors, wood beams, and two caution signs on the floor by the entrances.

The patio at the back of the lobby is now closed due to construction work. A-frame signs in front of the doors read, “Please Pardon Our Pixie Dust – This Area is Being Refurbished for Our Future Enjoyment.”

On the right side of the patio, a tower of scaffolding reaches up to the third floor, which has been closed for a few weeks. Disney originally announced construction would wrap up this month, and that timeline is still present on the Walt Disney World website.

Some crew members were working on rooms on the third floor during our visit on Friday.

Another crew member on the opposite side of the patio was working on the facade. Green barriers were set up around the sidewalks for crew members. These walkways are closed to guests for now.

It looks like part of the fake logs on the exterior of the Wilderness Lodge had been broken away and reconstructed. This crew member appeared to be painting over the white plaster with fresh brown paint.

Sunlit lobby with wooden ceiling, covered windows, two chairs, a lamp, and a “Sidewalk Closed Detour” sign by the door.

Dimly lit hallway with log ceiling, lanterns, stone floor, and large frosted windows along one side.

Around the corner, the windows of this hallway are covered in white scrims that let in some light but block construction from view.

Here’s a look at the white scrim from outside. There was previously scaffolding in this area, but it’s gone now, indicating work higher up on the exterior is complete.
