One of the perks of being a member of Artisan Club at Cotino – A Storyliving by Disney Community is the opportunity to enjoy the food and beverage offerings at Architects Fork and Plot Twist. Architects Fork is the main restaurant at Artisan Club, and Plot Twist is the beach bar near Cotino Bay. Both locations have fantastic Disney details and gorgeous views of the nearby pristine water and distant desert mountains.
During a recent media preview of Cotino – A Storyliving by Disney Community, Daps Magic had the opportunity to experience both of these locations and also hear from some of the people who brought them to life. This included two gentlemen who consulted with Disney on the culinary creations that would be found at Cotino. Before taking a look at each of these locations, hear about the approach to food that was taken at this Storyliving by Disney Community.
Architects Fork
The menu at Architects Fork is delicious. Lunch was served with a variety of offerings from the menu for members of the media. Everything was delicious. Below is a look at this restaurant and the details that can be found in it. The space includes a massive white chandelier that is an upside-down topographical map of the nearby mountains. There are also architect pencils making up chandeliers over some of the tables. Behind those chandeliers, there are some beautiful blueprints representing different things found in the parks.
Plot Twist
Plot Twist is the other dining location at the Artisan Club. This is a beach bar whose primary focus is on beverages. However, it does have a limited menu as well. This location is themed to the art of storytelling. It is decorated with stories that have become Disney films. On the walls and hanging from the ceiling, different approaches to this form of storytelling can be seen. There are also some other hidden nods to the storytelling process. Caroline Boone from Walt Disney Imagineering gave a tour of this beautiful beach bar. Check it out here:
