“The Disney Touch” is at the heart of this new residential project, and the community will be managed by Disney Cast Members.

Storyliving by Disney is the latest venture by Walt Disney Imagineering to take the Disney standard of quality to the next level. It follows the development of new temporary retreats like the Disney Wish and Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, and more permanent experiments like Golden Oak at the Walt Disney World Resort.

It is unclear at this time when the new Disney Community will open, when more locations and communities will be revealed, or how specifically Disney Imagineers will bring these concepts to life In the meantime, you can stay up-to-date by visiting storylivingbydisney.com.
