Disney announced the first Storyliving community

The worst part about every trip to a Disney park is that it comes to an end. But don't you sometimes wish that your Disney trips last forever? 

Well, we have just the right Disney news for you. Storyliving by Disney is a project that will allow you to write your own magical Disney story.

Create your own story

Storyliving is an ambitious real-estate project by the Walt Disney Company. The plan includes building home communities where you can live the Disney dream. No one has felt the urge to live in a Disney park more than Disney Vacation Club Members. It's time to make that dream a reality. 

Storyliving is a testament to Disney’s promise of entertaining, inspiring, and connecting people through extraordinary stories. Residents of these communities will get to experience Disney’s splendor firsthand. 

What to expect?

Disney has indicated its plans of building Storyliving communities all across the United States, but they’re starting with California. The first Storyliving community will be based in California’s Palm Springs area. 

Cotino 

Named Cotino, the first Storyliving project will be located in Rancho Mirage. This location for the first Storyliving community was chosen to honor the man who started Disney. Walt Disney loved the Coachella Valley and would often visit this laid-back region.  

DMB development, a Scottsdale-based real estate development company, is responsible for constructing this mega project. The construction plan includes 1500+ homes, 400 hotel accommodations, and other amenities. In addition, the Cotino community will consist of a centrally located 24-acre swimmable crystal lagoon. 

The accommodation plan includes condos, single-family homes, and hotels. Moreover, the community will have a separate section for residents aged 55 and up. In addition, Cotino will feature all sorts of recreational amenities. From shopping malls to restaurants, residents will access to all the basic amenities.  

When living in a Storyliving community, residents will have access to multiple lifestyle programs arranged by Disney. In addition, the initial plan also features fun activities for children and adults alike.

Storyliving Membership 

Homebuilders and residents of a Storyliving community will have the option to become Club Members. The Club Membership will work very much like a Disney Vacation Club Membership, providing its owners with additional perks. 

For example, the members of the Cotino Club will have complete access to the Clubhouse, dedicated beach park, and many more perks. 

Future Plans

Going into the future, Disney has some major plans for this project. Once Cotino is launched, other Storyliving communities will follow. The press release and Disney news mentioned that the company is scouting for other locations to build Storyliving communities. However, only Rancho Mirage is a certainty for now. 

Final thoughts 

Story living is undoubtedly the biggest project of this decade by Disney. With the promise of bringing together a symbolic community served by Disney’s very own magic. 

Imagine living in a neighborhood where all your neighbors are Disney enthusiasts left to right. This is the dream that Disney plans to bring to life with Storyliving.
