How to Live Like a Disney Character in a Storyliving by Disney Community Have you ever dreamed of living in a fairy tale? Of waking up every morning to the sound of birds singing, the smell of fresh flowers, and the sight of a beautiful lagoon? Of having access to world-class service, fun, and entertainment at your doorstep? Of being part of a vibrant and inspiring community that celebrates the culture and heritage of your region? Imagine living in a fairy tale with Disney magic and local charm. That’s what Storyliving by Disney offers, a new venture by The Walt Disney Company that aims to create master-planned communities that utilize Disney Imagineering and are staffed by Disney cast members. In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about Storyliving by Disney, including: What is Storyliving by Disney and how does it differ from other residential communities? What are the benefits of living in a Storyliving by Disney community? Where are the Storyliving by Disney communities located and what are their features? How can you become a resident of a Storyliving by Disney community? Let’s get started: What is Storyliving by Disney? Storyliving by Disney is a brand name introduced in 2022 for master-planned communities that are developed and built by third parties, not Disney. However, these communities are designed and managed by Disney Living Development, Inc., part of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, and feature the Disney touch in every aspect. Storyliving by Disney is not just a collection of houses. It is a lifestyle experience that combines world-famous Disney service, fun, and placemaking with the local culture and heritage of each region. Each Storyliving by Disney location will have distinct personalities and take inspiration from the history and surroundings of the area. Storyliving by Disney is also not just for families with children. It is for anyone who loves Disney and wants to live their dream in a place that fosters creativity, curiosity, and community. Some Storyliving by Disney communities will have neighborhoods exclusively for adults aged 55+. What are the benefits of living in a Storyliving by Disney community? Living in a Storyliving by Disney community has many benefits, such as: Enjoying world-class service from Disney cast members who deliver personalized attention and care to every resident. Having access to a variety of amenities and activities that cater to different interests and passions, such as fitness centers, pools, spas, restaurants, shops, clubs, events, and more. Being part of a vibrant and inspiring community that encourages social interaction and friendship among residents. Experiencing the magic of Disney in your everyday life through enchanting details, surprises, and storytelling elements that make every day special. Living in harmony with nature and sustainability in communities that are designed to conserve water, energy, and resources. Where are the Storyliving by Disney communities located and what are their features? The first Storyliving by Disney community under development is Cotino, in Rancho Mirage, California. Cotino will be a 618-acre mixed-use development with several residential options, hotels, resort facilities, and a retail center, all surrounding a 24-acre grand oasis and lagoon. Cotino was inspired by the Smoketree Ranch in nearby Palm Springs, where Walt Disney himself had a home. Cotino will reflect the rich culture and heritage of the Coachella Valley region, as well as the legacy of Walt Disney. Some of the features of Cotino include: A variety of home styles and sizes to suit different preferences and budgets. A sustainable lagoon that will use 30 times less water than a golf course and provide recreational opportunities such as swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. A clubhouse that will offer dining options, fitness facilities, spa services, meeting spaces, and entertainment venues. A beach that will feature sand imported from Florida’s Gulf Coast and palm trees from Hawaii. A retail center that will include shops, restaurants, cafes, bars, and other services. A hotel that will offer luxury accommodations and amenities for guests and residents. A resort that will feature themed areas inspired by different Disney stories and characters. Storyliving by Disney is also exploring other locations in the U.S. for future communities. These locations will be carefully selected based on their appeal to potential residents and their compatibility with the Storyliving concept.

Palm Desert – United Way of the Desert

Palm Desert, CA – Each year, the United Way of the Desert hosts a gala to raise funds needed for the support programs that provide for our most vulnerable residents. Last year’s 25 th anniversary gala was a success thanks to our generous partners. Once again, we invite our partners to this year’s special movie-themed gala. Shaken, Not Stirred will be held on Friday, May 6th, 2016 at the Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage. The imperative success of this event is determined greatly by your support and generosity. We hope that you will join us! By offering a unique gift, special item or experience to our Raffle and Auction, you are truly making a difference. In addition to a 100% tax deduction and recognition on marketing collateral, your contribution is an opportunity to build and promote brand recognition among the 300+ high-capacity donors and community leaders attending the event. About Us: Serving the Coachella Valley for over 70 years, United Way of the Desert is one of the region’s oldest nonprofit organizations. With a focus on education, income and health – the building blocks to a good quality life – we partner with local agencies and programs to help our neighbors in need. Our vision is to advance the common good because every individual deserves the opportunity for a financially stable, healthy life, and every child’s future is determined by the quality education he or she receives today. The desert is a community of affluence, but beneath the surface, there is great poverty as well- more than 85% of children live in low-income households and lack basic resources. The United Way movement fosters long-lasting change by assisting with critical needs such as food and shelter, while addressing the root causes of poverty in hopes to break the vicious cycle. This Community Impact agenda is what differentiates our work and mission. Please join us in tackling the disparity. Attached is an acquisition form to complete and return along with your gift. We ask that all items be received by April 8th for appropriate recognition. Thank you for helping to make this a successful event that in turn supports local individuals and families.   Visit for vacation rental jomes in the Coachella Valley..

School Sign for Palm Desert High School

Palm Desert High School WASC Accreditation… What is it?

Palm Desert, CA – Thanks to the Rotarians who were able to sign the “best wishes” card to Palm Desert High School at our February 23 meeting. In  answer to those who asked, “Whatʼs WASC,” hereʼs an explanation: WASC is the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Itʼs the body that certifies schools at all levels that are living up to high academic standards and effective teaching strategies for all students. Every three to six years, all school stakeholders conduct a year-long self-study which they submit to a visiting team of educators and administrators from the Southern California region. A high-functioning school will report all current successes, and then outline how they are pursuing continuing improvement.  School self-studies generally cite partnerships with community groups in their report, and so itʼs good to have a Palm Desert Rotary “best wishes” card on display. Palm Desert Highʼs visiting team will be on campus February 29 through March 3, visiting every classroom, interviewing students, staff, and parents. On the final day of the visit, the visiting  team will report on aspects of the self-study they could verify, and what aspects appear to need more attention. A poorly functioning school might receive a 1-year accreditation with a full re-visit. Top schools such as PDHS usually earn a 6-year accreditation term, usually with a brief revisit at the 3-year point.  Weʼll invite PDHS Principal and fellow PD Rotarian Robert Hicks to report on his schoolʼs WASC visit soon.

Healthy Habits with Dr. Claudia Kawas – Palm Desert

In January we examined water waste in food production in our region. In February we learned about food waste in America. Now for our March Global Food series, we take a look at calorie waste and how to make lifestyle choices that help the planet as well as our minds, bodies and spirits! For centuries, people have wondered about the role of diet in both the cause and prevention of disease. Is there a diet to cultivate a healthy mind? Which nutrients contribute to longevity? Do supplements offer more help or harm? Clinical studies of vitamins and micro-nutrients are published regularly in support of this notion, and the results are routinely highlighted in newspapers, magazines, and popular media. But do they tell the whole story? Find out from Dr. Claudia Kawas, a geriatric neurologist at University of California, Irvine and a specialist in dementia and memory disorders. Her research on people who thrived beyond age 90 has been featured on “60 Minutes” and in publications all over the world. She’ll be discussing food and its role in health, aging, and Alzheimer’s Disease in ways we may have not considered before. This series is in partnership with Hidden Harvest.   RSVP now!    75080 Frank Sinatra Drive Palm Desert, CA. 92211760-834-0800 Visit for vacation rental jomes in the Coachella Valley..

Palm Desert Train in California in USA

Passenger train planned from LA to Palm Springs

Looking for a convenient way to travel from the heart of LA to the sunny side of the Coachella Valley? Eager travelers are in luck, as it was recently announced that a new daily passenger rail service would provide transportation between Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley. The more-than-a-decade-old proposal for a train connecting the Coachella Valley with the rest of Southern California cleared a big hurdle in July of 2022 when an initial environmental study was unanimously approved by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC). The RCTC is now seeking federal funding that will allow planning for Coachella Valley Rail to move forward. The train would make two daily round trips between Union Station in Los Angeles and Coachella – including stops in Palm Springs and other locations around the valley. It’s planned to be 144 miles long. A trip to LA would be around 3.5 hours from the Coachella Valley. It would include 9 stations throughout the valley along with an upgrade to the current Palm Springs station. The Coachella Valley Rail Service will link L.A. Union Station and the Coachella Valley, connecting riders 144 miles across the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside. The Coachella Valley Rail service is expected to transform, connect, promote sustainability, create access and equity, expand economic investment and tourism, and offer more travel choices across the U.S. for residents of this rapidly growing region. The RCTC affirms that the rail service will support tourism region-wide, bringing people together from around the globe. The expanded train service will reduce vehicle miles traveled, generating fewer emissions and combating climate change through improved air quality and public health. The new service will also expand the regional economy by opening travel options and connections to restaurants, resorts, concert venues, sports facilities, and commercial and retail centers across the southland. Daily intercity passenger rail service will transform the way southern California residents travel, creating a car-free, stress-free option between major destinations, from downtown lights to desert delights. Looking for the perfect vacation home to provide easy access to this up-and-coming Coachella Valley Rail project? Look no further than Camp Palm Springs – a newly renovated Mid-Century modern retreat. This newly renovated home is five minutes from downtown by car and blends the best features of mid-century design, with contemporary art and accents. It includes all new appliances, baths and furnishings. Stunning mountain views and a spacious, impeccably landscaped backyard will draw visitors in and the gorgeous pool and spa and outdoor living area will make you feel like you never want to leave this desert paradise. The Riverside County Transportation Commission is seeking state and federal funding for the Tier-2 project-level environmental studies of the Coachella Valley Rail Project. To learn more about the project and to register your support in the RCTC’s applications for federal funding assistance, visit the official website. Homes for sale around the Palm Desert Area
