Omni at Championsgate Swings Open its Doors

At a black-tie gala to celebrate the grand opening of the Omni Orlando Resort at Championsgate, developer David Mitzner, a former prisoner of war, spoke about the origins of the project. "There was one interchange that did not belong to Disney," said Mitzner, referring to the land off Interstate 4 near Walt Disney World Resorts. "I looked at it, I liked it, but at the time, I never knew what I was going to do with it."
