I had to find it so I could my my suprise cast pin last week. It's off this road called Sherberth road (I think is the spelling). When you are driving to AK, it is on the left. It takes you to 192.

Sherberth Road comes out on 192 at Holiday Inn Westgate on Black Lake Road.

Farmer & Baker Architects Inc. successfully converted a huge, abandoned shopping mall into an office building known as the Maingate Complex of Walt Disney World and Disney Development Co. The place is a former maxisupermart at Lake Buena Vista, not far from three Disney theme parks in Orlando, FL. The structure was demolished, except for its metal roof. Old ductwork was also removed, putting in 120 windows into the facades. The office building is to house 1,500 staffers from three key divisions and other sub-groups that used to occupy leased offices in nearby locations.


I did find some interior shots:
