Located in the central Florida Kissimmee resort area minutes from Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World, the 718-room resort will be the largest single property to feature InnView to date.  In addition to the installation in the resort�s guest rooms, the agreement also calls for a customized version of the digital interactive guest system to be featured in eight of the property�s meeting rooms.
