Cotino, a Storyliving By Disney Community Reaches Another Milestone
A new chapter in Disney history is unfolding in California’s Coachella Valley, where developers are busy bringing Cotino, the first Storyliving by Disney community to life.
For those who aren’t familiar, Cotino will be a master-planned community developed by Disney, crafted by the creative minds at Walt Disney Imagineering, and staffed by Disney Cast Members. In short, residents will experience Disney’s magic every day, right where they live!
“These master-planned communities are intended to inspire residents to foster new friendships, pursue their interests, and write the next exciting chapter in their lives. All while enjoying the attention to detail, unique amenities, and special touches that are Disney hallmarks,” Disney said when the project was announced.
The last time we checked in on Cotino’s development, the community had unveiled three model homes, giving fans a glimpse at what was to come.
