Storyliving by Disney has revealed a first look at the 24-acre Cotino Bay, part of the Cotino community being built by Disney. Cotino Bay will be open to Artisan Club members later this year. The Artisan Club is a voluntary membership for Cotino homeowners, which will allow access to amenities that “celebrate creativity and invite members to dream and do”.

Cotino, the first Storyliving by Disney community, is located in Rancho Mirage, in California’s Coachella Valley—a location where Walt Disney himself owned a home and would spend leisure time with his family.
At each Storyliving by Disney location, including some neighborhoods for residents ages 55+, Disney cast members trained in the company’s legendary guest service will operate the community association. Through a club membership, Disney will also provide access to curated experiences, such as wellness programming, entertainment ranging from live performances to cooking classes, philanthropic endeavors, seminars and much more.
Disney Imagineers will play a key role in developing the creative concept for the communities, working in conjunction with respected developers and homebuilders.
Cotino also has Specific Plan approval for a vibrant mixed-use district featuring a range of shopping, dining and entertainment, a beachfront hotel and a professionally managed beach park with recreational water activities that can be accessed by the public through the purchase of a day pass.
