🏡 A New Chapter in Disney Living

Cotino is the inaugural project under Disney's Storyliving by Disney initiative—a 618-acre master-planned community nestled in the heart of Rancho Mirage. This location holds special significance, as Walt Disney himself once owned a home in the nearby Smoke Tree Ranch, often retreating there with his family. YouTube+16Wikipedia+16FOX 11 Los Angeles+16Daps Magic+2Blog Mickey+2Wikipedia+2
