Ever dreamed of living in a Disney world? Now you can, with Cotino – Disney’s first residential community in Rancho Mirage, California. This isn’t just any neighborhood; it’s designed to inspire and delight, with almost 2,000 homes ranging from chic condos to grand villa estates.

Disney's new plan is called Storyliving. It aims to create communities where people can write the next exciting chapter of their lives. Cotino is meant for dreamers, doers, and everyone in between. Imagine a place with water sports on a massive lagoon, beachfront hotels, and bustling districts filled with dining, shopping, and entertainment options. Sounds fun, right?

One cool feature of Cotino is that it’s designed for all ages. Some homes are perfect for people aged 55 and older, offering amenities like pickleball courts and special Disney events. It’s a great spot for active seniors who want to stay connected.

But Cotino isn't just about living; it's about experiencing the magic of Disney. The homes here are designed with care, reflecting Disney’s unique style. From neutral tones with sharp black accents to earthy colors inspired by Adventureland, every detail is crafted to make you feel like you’re in a magical world.

Disney's famous cast members will run the community association, making sure residents get top-notch hospitality daily. This attention to detail makes Cotino special – it’s an experience that promises to delight and inspire.

Of course, all this magic comes at a cost. There’s an Artisan Club where you can enjoy exclusive events, wellness seminars, and live performances. It might be pricey, but for those who love uniqueness and exclusivity, it's worth considering.

In November, three model homes will open to the public. You can see "Melodia" with its neutral tones and sharp black accents, "Moderne" with earthy tones inspired by Adventureland, and "Atelier II" with bright colors paying homage to Disneyland’s 1960s-era art.

Disney hopes Cotino will attract lifelong fans to its newest venture. Even though it's not near the theme park, the iconic brand might be enough to draw Mouse House devotees. But will this community live up to Disney's promise of magical experiences? Time will tell!
