Overview
- Disney released new images and details as Cotino welcomes its first residents, highlighting an Imagineer-designed club space that blends mid‑century Coachella Valley aesthetics with curated archival and local art.
- Members will find two signature venues: Architects Fork, a table‑service restaurant showcasing Imagineering concept art and documents, and Plot Twist, an outdoor beach bar with a literary backdrop tied to classic Disney stories.
- Artwork on display includes pieces selected from Walt Disney Imagineering archives, such as works by Mary Blair, a Bruce Bushman Sleeping Beauty Castle sketch, and a Ken Chapman Contemporary Resort mockup.
- Fitness programming features Disney‑inspired classes like Moana breathwork, Encanto Latin dance cardio, an Incredibles “Super Circuit,” a Maleficent power sculpt session, and a Stitch‑themed paddleboard workout, with programming facilitated by Optum.
- Artisan Club membership is optional for residents and requires separate dues, terms set by the club owner, and acceptance through a separate application, with operations, amenities, Cotino Bay access, and lagoon conditions all subject to change and possible additional fees.
