Disney Adults Find New Home in Walt Disney Company's New Retirement Community

The Walt Disney Company will build a new community for those who want to continue to experience Disney magic.

By HFT Staff


The Walt Disney Company announced plans to introduce Storyliving by Disney, vibrant new neighborhoods. 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. 

The first Storyliving by Disney community will be built in Rancho Mirage, in California’s Coachella Valley. Additional locations in the U.S. are under exploration for future development. 

At each 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 will welcome homeowners of all ages and will include at least one section expressly for 55+ residents. Home buyers will have a range of home types to choose from, including estates, single family homes and condominiums. 

Per the Specific Plan approval for the development, the community is expected to surround an approximately 24-acre grand oasis featuring clear turquoise waters with Crystal Lagoons technology, enabling crystalline lagoons of any size to be built sustainably, with low water consumption and using a minimum amount of additives and energy. A voluntary club membership will offer access to a waterfront clubhouse, a club-only beach area and recreational water activities, as well as Disney programming, entertainment and activities throughout the year.
