Walt Disney World Resort Holiday Inn Prepars to Welcome First Guests

Signs are up and other finishing touches are being placed on the Holiday Inn in the Walt Disney World Resort® as the hotel prepares to welcome its first guests next month.

Creating 110 new jobs, the 323 room hotel includes 11,000 square feet of meeting and event space, a restaurant, lounge and all-day dining. As the first hotel in Central Florida to open in 2010, this new Holiday Inn exemplifies the standards of the $1 billion Holiday Inn brand relaunch program. Announced in 2007, the relaunch program was established to create a more contemporary brand image, increase quality and drive consistency. The Holiday Inn in the Walt Disney World Resort® is located at 1805 Hotel Plaza Boulevard and is within walking distance of the Downtown Disney® Marketplace. The official grand opening for the hotel is scheduled for February 4, 2010. For reservations call 888-465-4329 or visit www.hiorlando.com
