Ready to live in Disney's magic 24/7? Here's Cotino, Disney's first residential community

Disney fans who are ready to immerse themselves completely in the brand's magic 24/7 will soon be able to do so at Cotino, the first Storyliving by Disney community, set in the sunny Coachella Valley in California.

"For nearly 100 years, Disney has shared stories that have touched the hearts and minds of people all around the world,” Josh D’Amaro, chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, said in a statement. "As we prepare to enter our second century, we are developing new and exciting ways to bring the magic of Disney to people wherever they are, expanding storytelling to storyliving. We can’t wait to welcome residents to these beautiful and unique Disney communities where they can live their lives to the fullest."

Cotino will be located in the city of Rancho Mirage, a location that holds significance as a place where Walt Disney owned a home and spent time with his family.

The community is being designed by Disney Imagineers alongside DMB Development, which specializes in large-scale planned communities. Disney cast members will work in the community, giving the same "legendary guest service" as they do in the park.

"These communities will combine the Disney hallmarks of attention to detail, storytelling and guest service to create a place where residents can live the next chapter in their lives to the fullest," said Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Signature Experiences.

Parks designed by Disney Imagineers will be set throughout the community, and people can stroll along promenades and walking paths throughout the neighborhoods.
