Copper Creek: How Much More Can You Get with a Resale Contract?
If you’re browsing this website, you probably already know that you can save thousands of dollars on a resale DVC contract compared to buying one directly through Disney. Beyond these savings, another way to measure the difference in value between a resale contract and a direct one is the number of points you can purchase for the same price. To illustrate, let’s take a look at a Copper Creek direct contract versus a Copper Creek resale contract.
Why Copper Creek?
Copper Creek, which is located at Wilderness Lodge, is the perfect home resort for those who enjoy being a boat ride away from the Magic Kingdom while also having a more tranquil resort to rest and recharge after a long day at the theme parks. Copper Creek has all the coziness and convenience of Wilderness Lodge since it’s part of the main building. For larger travel parties, the standalone Cabins along Bay Lake offer incredible accommodations.
Despite Copper Creek’s 2068 expiration date, the points chart is very similar to that of Boulder Ridge, so your points will stretch farther compared to the points charts of many newer resorts. In addition, the rooms have recently had a soft goods refurbishment and now include Murphy beds.
What Does a Copper Creek Direct Contract Cost?
As of April 2026, a direct contract at Copper Creek goes for $225 per point. If looking at an average-size contract of 160 points, that direct contract would cost a total of $36,000. For that 160-point contract, you could get a weeklong stay in a Deluxe Studio at Copper Creek for most travel periods.
How Much Can You Save with a Copper Creek Resale Contract?
As of March 2026, the average price per point for a Copper Creek contract is $139 per point. For a 160-point resale contract, the total cost would be $22,240. That’s $13,760 less than the cost of a 160-point direct contract!

How Many More Points Can You Get By Going with a Resale Contract?
Another way to look at the difference between direct and resale is that if you were to put the $13,760 that you would have spent on a direct Copper Creek contract towards a resale contract instead, you could purchase a 250-point contract! In other words, you could get 56% more points by going with a resale contract!
With more points, you can have more stays, or you could upgrade your accommodations to a larger room type. For 250 points, you could have a weeklong stay in a One Bedroom Villa most travel periods.
Bottom line: Buying a Copper Creek resale contract instead of a direct contract can save you thousands of dollars or get you more DVC points for longer stays or larger accommodations!
